This week’s episode delves deep into a complex world of revenge, manipulation, and long-buried secrets. Mannat continues her mission, acting as a mysterious benefactor to those wronged by the powerful Aishwarya Raisingh, while simultaneously weaving a trap to expose her.
The episode opens with Mannat performing an Aarti, her voiceover establishing the show’s central theme: the inevitable downfall of the wicked. She believes that those who are blinded by power will eventually face karmic justice, as God always sides with the righteous. This spiritual moment is starkly contrasted with flashbacks of a violent attack, hinting at the past traumas that fuel her present actions.
The story then shifts to Shalini and her family, who discover a bag full of cash—a staggering 20 lakh rupees—left anonymously at their doorstep. A note inside reveals the money is to help them rebuild their lives and restart their family bakery, which was presumably destroyed in the same incident that has made Shalini an outcast. Overcome with emotion, they see this as a miracle from an angel, unaware that their benefactor is Mannat herself.
Later, Shalini excitedly shares the news with Mannat, who subtly orchestrated the “miracle.” Mannat, with a calm yet determined demeanor, reassures a worried Shalini, telling her to accept it as a blessing from the goddess.
Meanwhile, at the opulent Raisingh mansion, the atmosphere is tense. Preparations are underway for a grand function. Vikrant, the son of the family, shows complete disinterest in the wedding rituals and his fiancée, Malika. This enrages his mother, Neetu, who is desperate to see the wedding succeed. Malika, playing the part of a hurt fiancée, storms off after Vikrant ignores her, leading to a heated argument.
In a private confrontation, Vikrant furiously tells Malika that their engagement is just a “natak” (an act). He reveals he only agreed to this fake marriage because Malika promised it would help him win Mannat’s heart, a plan that seems to be backfiring. Malika, however, masterfully manipulates the situation, claiming her jealous outburst was also part of the act to prevent Neetu from getting suspicious.
The episode then unveils another layer of the plot. Aishwarya is being blackmailed by a mysterious caller (Mannat, using a disguised voice). The blackmailer threatens to reveal the truth about how Aishwarya set fire to “Swapna Sadan” and Shruti Khanna’s home. The threat is clear: confess, or have all your dark secrets exposed at your daughter’s wedding.
The tension escalates when a receipt from a jeweler arrives at the mansion. Aishwarya had claimed she sent her jewelry for polishing, but the receipt exposes her lie. It’s revealed she has sold her jewelry, a fact she desperately tries to hide from her family, raising their suspicions.
The episode culminates in a tense confrontation between Mannat and Aishwarya. Aishwarya, seeing Mannat’s growing closeness to Vikrant, warns her to stay away from her daughter’s happiness. Mannat retorts with equal fire, stating that a daughter will go to any extent for her mother, setting the stage for an explosive showdown.
