Mangal Lakshmi 18th May 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins with Akshat requesting Mangal to prepare food for him. Mangal tries to tell him that she will cook and get him food next day, but Akshat insists he wants it today. Adit tells Mangal to cook if she has time, and Mangal agrees. Akshat smiles and says he’s looking forward to it. Adit and Kusum smile, while Sowmya leaves the room.
Sowmya confronts Ananya and questions why she didn’t blame Mangal. She accuses Ananya of spoiling their plan and helping Mangal win. Ananya calmly replies that Mangal risked her life to save her, and she now realizes how good Mangal truly is. She admits that she believed Sowmya and made a mistake but has now understood the truth. Sowmya scolds her. Meanwhile, Kusum comes out and tells the bun seller they don’t want the buns. As the seller is about to leave, she changes her mind and calls him back. Sowmya and Ananya hide from Kusum.
Mangal gets emotional seeing the kitchen. A worker offers to help her, but she declines, saying she wants to cook on her own. She notices that all the ingredients in the house are used up and wonders how the family has been managing. She orders the necessary items online. Akshat praises her smartness and asks when she learned to handle things like this. Mangal replies that life teaches these lessons. Akshat calls her the “best boss lady.” Adit sees them from a distance.
Kusum returns the money the seller had dropped and goes inside. Sowmya continues scolding Ananya, but Ananya stands up to her. She says she feels sorry for Adit, who left a diamond like Mangal for someone like Sowmya. She adds that one day Adit will realize his mistake, remove Sowmya from his life, and reunite with Mangal. She walks away, leaving Sowmya frustrated.
Mangal cleans the kitchen and prepares delicious food. She arranges the dishes on the table. Akshat sees Adit approaching and mischievously tucks Mangal’s pallu into Adit’s belt, hinting at their connection. As Adit is about to sit, Mangal comes closer, and they share a moment. Akshat teases them, and Kusum smiles. Sowmya, watching from a distance, breaks a vase in anger. Everyone looks towards the noise. Sowmya pretends it was an accident and walks away. Adit follows her.
Mangal tells Akshat that they should offer prasad to the goddess before eating. They go to the temple and pray for the family to always have food. The worker tells Kusum it feels like the house’s Lakshmi has returned with Mangal’s entry. Kusum smiles.
Sowmya angrily questions Adit for stopping Mangal from leaving. Adit replies that he didn’t do anything wrong and says he has nothing more to explain. He walks away. As Mangal is about to leave, Sowmya stops her and questions why she’s leaving without meeting the “malkin” (owner) of the house. Mangal asks her to get to the point.
Sowmya declares herself the malkin and says she doesn’t want Mangal intruding in her house or kitchen. She taunts Mangal, saying Adit left her for someone better. She mocks Mangal, suggesting she visit a parlour and change her looks to attract her boss. Mangal calmly replies that she is going to the office to work, not to trap a married man like Sowmya. Sowmya is left shocked as Mangal walks away.
The next day, Mangal proves Adit’s innocence with evidence. The employees apologize to Mangal for misunderstanding her. Kapil folds his hands in front of Mangal and admits he lost the challenge but is happy with the outcome. He praises Mangal for handling the situation neutrally and wisely. The entire staff applauds her.
Kapil announces that Mangal wants Ananya to continue working. Ananya thanks her. Kapil then says Mangal also requested that Adit be given his job back. He asks Adit to rejoin immediately. Adit thanks him. Kapil instructs everyone to get back to work.
Adit then tells Kapil that he once called him “ghatiya” (low character), but Mangal has now proven his innocence. He asks if Kapil has anything more to say. Kapil responds that while the Ananya matter is now resolved, he still hasn’t forgotten Adit’s past words about Mangal. He says Mangal got Adit this job back—not Adit’s capability. He declares that Adit is undeserving of Mangal and walks away.
Episode ends.
