Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar 15th May 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Karthik receiving a call from Rishabh. Rishabh invites Karthik and his wife to his son’s birthday party. Karthik replies that there’s some tension at home, so he’ll come later. Umesh arrives and encourages Karthik and Lakshmi to attend the party, assuring them that they will take care of Jia. They agree to go.
Lakshmi prepares all the food but realizes the sugar is finished. She goes to the storeroom to refill the jar. Suddenly, the lights go off. She slips and falls into a storage trunk, which accidentally gets locked. She shouts for help.
Karthik calls out to Lakshmi, asking her to come so they can leave for the party. Jia arrives, dressed comically, and asks him to take her out. Karthik tells her not now and begins searching for Lakshmi. Despite searching the entire house, she is nowhere to be found. He informs Umesh and the rest of the family.
Karthik then notices red marks on the floor and realizes they belong to Lakshmi, as he had applied red dye on her feet. They all head to the storeroom and see the footprints end there. Umesh suggests checking with the security guard to confirm if Lakshmi left the house. Just then, Karthik spots a part of Lakshmi’s saree sticking out from a trunk. He opens it and finds Lakshmi unconscious inside. He brings her to the hall and lays her on the sofa. Lakshmi regains consciousness and tells them that she slipped and accidentally got locked inside.
Sanjana blames Jia for the incident and insists they made a mistake by allowing Jia to stay. She urges them to send Jia away. Umesh and Nidhi also express their distrust toward Jia. Karthik defends Jia, saying her mental condition is due to the accident caused by his mother, and they must help her. He takes Lakshmi to their room.
Karthik then asks Lakshmi if he’s wrong for allowing Jia to stay. He says he doesn’t know where else to send her. Lakshmi suggests finding a suitable place for Jia and reminds him that Jia had told them in the hospital she had moved on and was getting married. Karthik says they don’t know who the guy is. Lakshmi mentions a man named Varun who has been calling Jia frequently, so they decide to meet him.
They meet Varun and find out that he and Jia were planning to get married. Varun asks where Jia is. Jia comes out and behaves childishly, refusing to eat. Nidhi leaves the scene in shock. Varun is taken aback and tells Karthik he can’t take care of Jia given her mental state. Lakshmi says Jia needs someone who truly loves her, but Varun refuses and leaves. Jia then tells Karthik she wants a sandwich and takes him with her.
Sanjana, determined to get rid of Jia, calls the mental asylum.
Later, the asylum staff arrives to take Jia. Karthik refuses to let them take her. Sanjana insists Jia needs to be admitted. Umesh also supports her. The asylum staff tries to take Jia forcefully, but Lakshmi intervenes, saying she will take full responsibility for Jia and treat her at home. Sanjana warns her. The doctor and his team leave.
Jia, frightened, tells Karthik she’s scared. Karthik comforts her and says no one will take her away. She asks him to stay with her. He gives her a device and tells her to ring it whenever she needs him. She agrees. After he leaves, Jia smiles slyly at the remote.
Umesh tells Lakshmi she made a mistake by not sending Jia to the asylum. Lakshmi replies that Jia can never come between her and Karthik, and she will remain cautious. Jia thinks to herself, “Now I can call Karthik to me whenever I want.”
Episode ends.
