Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar 24th September 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins with Karthik getting shocked on seeing Fake Jia in his house. He loses his temper and angrily questions her, asking how she dared to come there. Fake Jia calmly replies that she has been released on bail and came to meet him. Karthik demands to know who granted her bail. Lakshmi and Karthik both try to throw her out of the house, but Gayatri suddenly intervenes. She reveals that she was the one who bailed Jia out. Gayatri explains that she has been having disturbing dreams about Karthik being in danger, so she consulted a pandit. The pandit advised her that as a remedy, Karthik and Jia should get married.
Hearing this, Real Jia starts to panic. She realizes that Gayatri is mistaking Fake Jia for the real one and worries that her own plan is falling apart. Karthik, however, refuses the idea outright. He firmly declares that he will not marry anyone except Lakshmi. Despite his repeated attempts to oust Fake Jia, Gayatri stops him again. Meanwhile, Real Jia grows restless, thinking her plan to manipulate the family is backfiring.
Karthik walks away in anger. Lakshmi, on the other hand, recalls her meeting with Fake Jia in jail. She had discovered that Fake Jia once supported Real Jia to save her father, but Jia never cared to meet or help her in return. Lakshmi had then promised Fake Jia that she would be released if she supported her plan to expose Real Jia’s true face. Lakshmi feels guilty for Karthik’s pain but convinces herself that this step is necessary for the bigger truth to come out.
Gayatri announces that Jia will be staying with them. Umesh objects, saying she is making a big mistake. Meanwhile, Jia feels trapped and wonders how to deal with this new twist. Later, Real Jia confronts Fake Jia and questions why she came to the house. Fake Jia, acting like the real one, taunts and rebukes her. Jia feels conflicted and cornered. Lakshmi silently witnesses their confrontation and thinks that Real Jia will soon expose herself under pressure.
At the same time, Gayatri feels torn about her decision to implement Lakshmi plan. Lakshmi approaches her and reminds her that she cannot back out now. She insists that Gayatri must convince Karthik to marry Fake Jia and assures her that this is her only chance to change the future. Lakshmi then leaves, determined to keep her plan moving.
Fuming with frustration, Karthik starts playing drums angrily to release his emotions. Lakshmi hears the loud sound and rushes to him. She begs him not to hurt himself. Karthik breaks down in tears, saying that his mother knows he loves Lakshmi, yet she still wants him to marry Jia. He confesses that his heart belongs only to Lakshmi.
Later, Gayatri organizes a pooja. The rituals seemingly prove that Karthik is indeed in danger, and Gayatri again insists that marrying Jia is the only solution. Real Jia scoffs at the rituals, saying it is nonsense and questions how the lemon turned red. Pratima scolds her for being disrespectful. Lakshmi pretends to believe the ritual’s outcome, while inwardly thinking that Real Jia will soon be forced to admit her true identity.
Episode ends.
Precap: Gayatri pressures Karthik to marry Fake Jia. Real Jia suddenly interrupts and admits that she is the real Jia, shocking everyone.
