Mangal Lakshmi
On August 24th, 2024, the episode of Mangal Lakshmi opened with an unexpected confrontation. A lady discovered her missing earring inside Mangal’s grocery bag and immediately accused Mangal of theft. Shocked by the accusation, Mangal firmly denied the allegations, insisting she had not taken the earring. Meanwhile, Adit was on the phone with Sowmya, but he quickly ended the call when he noticed the commotion.
Mangal Lakshmi- Mangal continued to assert her innocence
As Adit approached the situation, the lady reiterated her claim that Mangal had stolen her earring and hidden it in her bag. Mangal continued to assert her innocence, telling Adit that she hadn’t committed any such act. Adit, standing by his wife, confronted the lady, insisting she couldn’t make such accusations without proof. He boldly challenged the woman to call the police, and even threatened to do so himself if she hesitated. Confident in her integrity, Mangal suggested checking the CCTV footage, certain it would clear her name.
Adit, however, was more concerned about resolving the issue quickly and asked Mangal to apologize to put an end to the matter. Mangal refused, insisting that it wasn’t just her who was being accused, but also Adit. Determined to prove her innocence, she persisted in her demand to review the CCTV footage.
Mangal Lakshmi- Sowmya complimented the dress
Meanwhile, in another part of the story, Mannan was showing Sowmya a new dress. Sowmya complimented the dress, and Lipika, upon seeing it, expressed her desire for a similar outfit. In a generous gesture, Sowmya handed the dress to Lipika. Kusum questioned Sowmya’s decision, but Sowmya explained that Lipika was just a child and deserved to have it.
Mangal Lakshmi- Mangal pointed out this mistake to everyone
Back to the main conflict, Mangal, Adit, and others gathered to review the CCTV footage. The video revealed that the earring had accidentally fallen into Mangal’s grocery bag when Adit took out his phone. Mangal pointed out this mistake to everyone, proving that the earring had ended up in her bag purely by accident. Realizing their mistake, the lady and the others apologized to both Adit and Mangal for the misunderstanding.
In another scene, preparations were underway at Karthik’s house for a Pooja. Gayatri presented Lakshmi with an ancestral necklace in front of the entire family, marking a significant moment.
Mangal Lakshmi- Mangal and Adit returned home
After the tension subsided, Mangal and Adit returned home. Sowmya then took Adit aside in the kitchen to discuss the situation further. Their conversation was interrupted by Shanti, who entered the kitchen looking for Sowmya. Shanti questioned Sowmya’s presence in the kitchen, to which Sowmya replied that she intended to help Mangal. Shanti, however, believed that it was inappropriate for guests to be in the kitchen and suggested Sowmya return to the hall. After Sowmya left, Shanti reflected on how she had taught Mangal everything she knew. However, Adit grew increasingly frustrated with everyone’s constant discussions about Mangal. In an act of defiance, he secretly added salt to the food, hoping to ruin it.
Later, as Mangal served the meal, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to add salt. She hesitated, wondering how the food would taste, but was surprised when everyone praised the dish, saying it was perfect. Confused, Mangal asked if there was indeed salt in the food, to which Kusum confirmed that there was. Shanti immediately accused Sowmya of adding the salt, suggesting she did it to sabotage Mangal’s cooking. Shanti claimed she had seen Sowmya alone in the kitchen and made assumptions based on that. Adit defended Sowmya, arguing that Shanti couldn’t make such accusations without evidence. Shanti questioned why Adit always interrupted her whenever she spoke about Sowmya. Mangal, sensing the situation was escalating, asked Shanti to drop the issue, and Shanti reluctantly agreed.
The episode ended on this note, leaving the viewers eager to see how the dynamics between the characters would evolve.
Episode ends.
