Precap – In the rain on the road, Adit proposes to Mangal. Adit says to Mangal that he wants to marry her. Adit says to Mangal that he wants to have a family with her. Adit says to Mangal that he doesn’t want anything from her and says he only wants her to be by his side. Adit says to Mangal to he is proposing her himself. Adit asks Mangal to hold his hand wholeheartedly.
Our Take:
Adit’s sudden realization comes a little late, but his heartfelt confession finally gives Mangal some emotional reassurance. Sowmya’s manipulations continue to cast a dark shadow, making Mangal’s decision even more complicated. With the mehendi ceremony approaching, the question remains—will Adit truly change, or will history repeat itself?
