Mangal Lakshmi
On the 12th of August, 2024, the episode of *Mangal Lakshmi* aired with a series of tense and emotional events. It began with Adit realizing that Mangal, who was supposed to be at school, had gone missing. He had just confirmed with the school that Mangal hadn’t shown up. Instead of expressing concern, Adit criticized Mangal for leaving without informing anyone, accusing her of seeking attention.
Mangal Lakshmi: Karthik puzzled by Adit’s attitude
Karthik, puzzled by Adit’s attitude, questioned why Mangal would act this way and suggested they involve the police. Adit, in a sarcastic tone, remarked that they might as well get used to visiting the police station regularly because of Mangal. Despite Adit’s dismissive behavior, Karthik decided to make a call, likely to the authorities.
Lakshmi, witnessing Adit’s cold response, questioned his lack of empathy. She couldn’t understand how he could be more focused on Mangal’s mistakes than on her safety. Adit, feeling defensive, asked Lakshmi not to speak to him in that manner, but Lakshmi stood her ground. She refused to be silent when it came to questioning his behavior. Karthik then took Lakshmi away to calm her down.
Mangal Lakshmi: Karthik tried to comfort Lakshmi
Once outside, Karthik tried to comfort Lakshmi, who was visibly shaken. They both noticed Mangal’s wheelchair and the birthday cake she had prepared for Adit, which only increased their worry. Meanwhile, Mannan, who was driving a tempo van, noticed something strange. The door of the van was moving a lot, which prompted him to stop the vehicle. He asked the driver to open the back door, and to their shock, they found Mangal unconscious inside. Mannan immediately questioned the driver, but the driver claimed he had no idea how she ended up there. Together, they focused on waking Mangal up, hoping she was alright.
Mangal Lakshmi: Sowmya was confronted by her parents
Simultaneously, Sowmya was confronted by her parents. They had found out why she was thrown out of the house and were clearly upset. They told her that she must now marry the person they had chosen for her. However, Sowmya was defiant. She declared that she would only marry someone she loved and warned her parents that if they tried to force her, she might harm herself. This left her parents in a state of shock and disbelief.
Back at Adit’s house, Karthik and Lakshmi showed the wheelchair and cake to Adit and his family, deepening their concern for Mangal. Just then, the doorbell rang. To their relief, it was Mannan at the door, bringing Mangal back home in her wheelchair. Adit greeted Mannan with a mix of surprise and gratitude.
Mangal Lakshmi: Mangal had no memory of how she lost consciousness
Lakshmi, still shaken, immediately asked Mangal what had happened. Mangal explained that a man had come to spray for mosquitoes, and after that, she had no memory of how she lost consciousness and ended up in a cardboard box inside the tempo. Lakshmi, hearing this, insisted that they should report the incident to the police. However, Adit dismissed the idea, saying there was no need since Mangal had returned safe and sound. Mangal, siding with Adit, also asked Lakshmi to drop the matter. Reluctantly, Lakshmi agreed, and she and Karthik left for their home.
Mangal, now back with her family, invited Mannan to stay and eat with them. Mannan agreed, and they all shared a meal together. It seemed like things were finally settling down after a day full of chaos.
Mangal Lakshmi: Lakshmi reassured Gayatri
However, the day was not over for Lakshmi. Gayatri reminded her that the Pooja was the next day, and Lakshmi had yet to prepare the Diya. Lakshmi reassured Gayatri that she would take care of it that night. Gayatri, trusting her, left the room. But not everyone was as supportive. Sanjana, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, saw an opportunity to sabotage Lakshmi’s plans. She secretly mixed sleeping powder into Lakshmi’s water bottle, intending to prevent her from completing the Diya preparation.
The episode ended on a suspenseful note, with viewers left wondering what would happen next. Would Lakshmi fall into Sanjana’s trap, or would she manage to fulfill her duties in time for the Pooja? The tension and drama of this episode kept everyone on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting for the next installment.
