Mangal then performs the traditional Aarthi for Mannan, symbolizing the family’s blessings for the marriage. Mannan, touched by the gesture, expresses his gratitude to Mangal. He admits that he never expected a single encounter with her to bring so much happiness into his life. This moment of joy, however, is short-lived as the story takes a dark turn.
Sowmya, a character closely associated with Adit, arrives at his house. Without hesitation, she rushes to Adit and embraces him. Her actions are unexpected, and she pleads with Adit to stop the impending wedding, confessing that she does not like Mannan. The atmosphere becomes increasingly charged as Shanti, another member of the family, intervenes. She separates Sowmya from Adit and, in a fit of anger, slaps her. The situation escalates when Sowmya loses consciousness, and the family is horrified to discover blood flowing from her wrist.
Mangal quickly realizes the severity of the situation and urges Adit to take Sowmya to the hospital. The family rushes Sowmya to the hospital, where she is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Mangal confronts Adit, questioning whether he knew that Sowmya was unhappy about the marriage. Adit remains silent, choosing to leave rather than answer Mangal’s questions.
Back at the house, Shanti confronts Kusum, expressing her disbelief that this situation could have occurred. She argues that if Sowmya did not want to marry, she should not have been forced into it. Shanti also questions why Sowmya chose to hug Adit in such a dramatic fashion. Kusum, however, remains uncertain and offers no clear answers.
As the events unfold, Mannan, who is still reeling from the news, approaches Mangal. He asks if she knows the reason behind Sowmya’s reluctance to marry him. Mangal hesitantly reveals that Sowmya is interested in someone else, though she does not know the identity of the person. Mangal apologizes to Mannan, expressing regret that she did not inform him earlier. Mannan, trying to calm Mangal, tells her not to dwell too much on the matter. He further inquires whether Mangal knows why Sowmya embraced Adit, but Mangal remains silent, unsure of how to respond.
The situation becomes more chaotic as the band hired for the wedding arrives at Adit’s house. Kusum, still overwhelmed by the unfolding drama, instructs the band to stop playing and sends them away, stating that there will be no marriage. Shanti, still agitated, demands answers regarding Sowmya’s actions. Kusum promises to provide explanations to everyone, but the tension in the air is palpable.
Mangal, unable to find peace, approaches Adit once more, questioning him about Sowmya’s actions. Adit, however, remains defensive, claiming ignorance. Lipika, another character involved in the situation, accuses Adit of being responsible if anything happens to Sowmya. Mangal, trying to maintain some semblance of calm, advises Lipika not to speak in such a manner, though the comment only adds to the mounting tension.
Amidst all this turmoil, Lakshmi calls Mangal, seeking answers about the sudden cancellation of the wedding. Mangal, with a heavy heart, explains that Sowmya did not want to proceed with the marriage and even attempted suicide. This revelation shocks Lakshmi, as the gravity of the situation becomes clearer.
As the episode reaches its climax, the police arrive to question Mangal about her involvement with Sowmya. Mangal confirms that she, along with Lipika, Mannan, and Adit, are all with Sowmya. The police proceed to question the group, trying to piece together the events leading up to Sowmya’s desperate act.
The episode ends on this note, leaving viewers in suspense about the outcomes and repercussions of the day’s dramatic events. The future of the characters and the resolution of the conflicts remain uncertain, ensuring that the audience will be eagerly anticipating the next episode to see how the story unfolds. The tension and emotions are at an all-time high, setting the stage for what promises to be an intense continuation of the Mangal Lakshmi saga.
