Mangal Lakshmi 22nd May 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins with Seth mistaking Mangal for their boss, Chamkeli, and thanking her for giving them a big order. Noticing Mangal sweating, he grows suspicious and asks if she’s really Chamkeli. Mangal confidently continues the act, saying, “If your doubts are cleared, let’s talk business.” They agree and go inside. Outside, Kapil watches everything unfold through the glass window.
Meanwhile, Sowmya pretends to pray in front of God, crying. Kusum confronts her, saying, “You don’t need to act, Sowmya.” Sowmya replies emotionally, “I’m not acting. I won’t move from here until Ishana returns home. I won’t even lift my hand from this diya.” She places her hand above the flame.
Inside the hideout, Mangal looks around and wonders what kind of place it is. She silently prays for Ishana and Adit’s safety. Meanwhile, the goons pour kerosene around a tied-up Adit and place a candle near him. They tell Adit he will burn in 10 minutes, by which time their work will be done, and they’ll leave him to burn along with the place.
Back at home, Sowmya remembers how she secretly used atta (flour) on her hand to avoid getting burned. Kusum doesn’t believe her and says, “Stop lying. You can never be a mother to kids. Ishana’s real mother is desperately searching for her, unlike you.” Sowmya replies, “You never see the good in me.” Kusum retorts, “I see you can be Adit’s wife, but never a mother to his children.”
In the godown, Mangal notices a rat coming out from a corner. Following it, she discovers a passage leading underground. Hearing girls screaming, she unlocks the door and enters with her phone’s flashlight. Kapil, seeing Mangal heading into danger, decides to call the police. Just then, the real Chamkeli arrives at the location, and Kapil realizes Mangal is in serious trouble.
Inside, Mangal finds several girls tied up, including Ishana, who appears drowsy. She rushes to Ishana, asking her to open her eyes and assuring her she’s here now. Ishana mumbles that she wants to go home. Mangal finds a way out and removes wooden blocks covering a secret exit. She tells the girls not to make any noise and helps them escape quietly.
Kapil realizes the police won’t arrive in time. He rushes to Chamkeli and pleads for help to delay her entry. Chamkeli dismisses him, but he falls at her feet, begging.
Mangal hears noise from another room and tells the girls to keep escaping through the passage. She enters the room and finds Adit tied up. She removes the cloth from his mouth. Adit frantically asks her to extinguish the candle. She does so quickly. Mangal tells him she found Ishana and a way to escape. She unties him and brings him to Ishana. Adit is shocked to see Ishana unconscious and tries to wake her. Mangal explains that all the girls are under the influence of drugs and they must escape before the goons find them.
Adit carries Ishana and escapes. Meanwhile, Chamkeli orders her men to keep Kapil away. One of her men holds Kapil back as she heads inside.
Mangal, however, refuses to leave without saving the remaining girls. She tells herself, “These children are like Ishana to me.” She continues to help them out, one by one. Just then, she hears the kidnappers growing suspicious and starting to search for her.
Episode ends.
