Mangal Lakshmi 16th December 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Adit telling Kusum that Sowmya is performing pooja for the positive energy of the house and that it is wrong to always think of her as selfish. Sowmya arrives and gives them aarti. She tells Kusum that she is praying for her victory in Pehla Swaad and seeks her blessings. Kusum understands that Sowmya is still selfish but blesses her anyway. Sowmya then reveals that Mangal has backed out of the competition.
Ishana wonders if she did wrong by listening to Neel and calls him. Raj arrives there. Ishana tells Raj that she wants to agree to his deal. Raj notices Neel calling Ishana. Neel explains the plan to Raj instead of Ishana, saying that Raj should reveal his own wrongdoings while he live-streams it so Raj cannot claim it is AI-generated. Neel adds that he got late because of his mother and is on the way.
Mangal overhears Neel’s conversation and confronts him about his plan with Ishana. Raj confronts Ishana and says he has learned about her plan and accuses her of trying to end her life. He breaks a bottle and tries to harm her. Mangal arrives in time and breaks the bottle on Raj’s hand. She warns him that he will now learn what happens when someone tries to ruin a girl’s reputation. Raj begs Mangal to forgive him as a crowd gathers. Adit and others arrive, followed by Raj’s mother, who says she received a message that Raj’s life was in danger and asks what happened.
Raj’s mother questions Mangal about why she did not stay away from her son. Mangal replies that Raj murdered her son and that she will not spare him. Raj denies even meeting Neel. Mangal then shows a video of Raj stabbing Neel, shocking everyone. The crowd demands that Raj be handed over to the police. Raj claims the video is fake and AI-generated. Mangal questions how he is so sure. Raj admits that he used AI to create fake videos and that Ishana’s video was also fake. Neel arrives and says that Raj has finally confessed.
Mangal says that because of Raj’s fake video, her daughter tried to end her life. The crowd condemns Raj. Mangal adds that when she approached Raj’s mother for justice, she tried to use her money power to protect her son. The crowd criticizes both mother and son. Mangal concludes that AI should be used for good purposes, but people like Raj misuse it, and his mother spoiled him.
Mangal ends by saying that she too has a son, and she taught him the difference between right and wrong—unlike Raj’s mother. The police arrive there. Adit says, “I called you here, sir.” The police arrest Raj. Raj pleads with his mother to save him, but she stands helpless as the police take Raj away. Others also leave.
Ishana apologises to Mangal. Ishana says sorry mom. Mangal says i promised you to make the culprit get punished and Raj got his punishment. Adit apologises to his kids for not trusting them and hugs them. Kusum sees it and praises Mangal.
Episode ends.
