Mangal Lakshmi 1st June 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins with Adit scolding Sowmya for her carelessness. Sowmya apologizes, saying she simply followed the recipe and added an egg to the cake. Adit, however, sternly tells her that it wasn’t a mistake—it was a sin. Shanti mocks Sowmya, and Kusum refuses to eat the cake. Kapil reassures Kusum, saying another dessert will be ready in five minutes. He exchanges a knowing glance with Mangal, who smiles in return.
A few minutes later, Mangal returns with a freshly made dish. Lipika questions how it was prepared so quickly. Kapil explains that it’s Mangal’s special suji halwa, a signature vegetarian dish from Pehla Swad, which can be made quickly. Kusum cuts the halwa, feeds her family, and even offers a piece to Mangal with her own hand. Mangal eats it happily, feeling accepted.
Akshat then tells Kusum that this has been her best birthday and he wants a family photo to keep in his room. When Sowmya offers to take the photo, Akshat insists that his mother should be in it like the old days and asks Sowmya to click the picture. Sowmya protests, saying that since it’s a family photo, she should be in it too. Akshat replies that he wants to recreate an old memory. When Sowmya mocks the idea by bringing up how Sudesh had left them, Mangal calmly says, “Papa is still with us,” and asks Kusum to hold Sudesh’s photograph for the photo.
Sowmya, feeling sidelined, refuses to take the picture by claiming her phone has no memory and walks away. Kapil steps in and clicks the family photo. Later, Sowmya finds Pratima alone and tries to manipulate her. She says she understands how hurtful it must be to see Mangal growing closer to her ex-husband’s family. She warns that if Pratima exposes her, Mangal will again become the ideal daughter-in-law in Adit and Kusum’s eyes—and might even get Kapil back. Sowmya adds that she’s also in pain and can’t bear to see Mangal with her husband. She pleads with Pratima to stay silent and promises that, if they team up, she’ll ensure Mangal becomes Pratima’s daughter-in-law. Just then, she’s shocked to find Kusum standing behind her.
Kusum asks Pratima if everything is alright. Pratima quickly removes her earphones and says that Akshat had put them on her and she wasn’t listening to anything important. When Kusum questions Sowmya, she lies, saying she was just showing Pratima the way to the washroom. Just then, Shanti tells Kusum they are leaving, as her husband is waiting outside with the house key. Kusum agrees and sees them off.
After they leave, Sowmya again offers to help Pratima by making Mangal move on, but Pratima firmly refuses her help. Meanwhile, Kusum talks to Kapil and advises him to marry the girl Pratima has chosen for him. She says it’s time for him to move on and that having a good life partner will be the best thing for his future. Mangal enters and casually asks Kapil if he needs anything. Kapil replies that he’s full, and he and Pratima leave the room.
Adit then approaches Kusum and questions why she was discussing Kapil’s marriage. Kusum explains that Pratima has chosen a girl for Kapil, and Adit thinks this might help keep Kapil away from Mangal—completely unaware that the girl Pratima chose is actually Mangal. Kusum, happy with how things are going, says that the house finally feels like a home and leaves. Adit thanks Mangal for bringing joy back into Kusum’s life.
Later at home, Kapil confronts Pratima for asking Kusum to convince him to get married. Pratima tells him that Mangal is sarvagun sampanna—a perfect woman—and says Adit didn’t deserve her. She urges Kapil to make Mangal his life partner. Just then, Mangal enters the room and overhears the conversation.
Episode ends.
Precap: Adit scolds Mangal for calling Amma to the temple. Mangal says she didn’t do it. Adit accuses her, saying she did the same with his father in the past.
