Mangal Lakshmi 2nd May 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Mangal thinking to herself that although Kusum may appear silent, there’s a storm going on inside her. After a moment of reflection, Mangal leaves.
Meanwhile, Pratima decides to plan a surprise birthday party for Mangal. She asks the receptionist to invite all the staff. Kapil overhears the conversation and questions Pratima about it. He tells her that Mangal might not appreciate such a surprise and would probably prefer spending time with her family. Pratima tells him to stop being so negative and points out that Mangal hasn’t made any plans. She adds that everyone enjoys a good surprise. Kapil insists that, as far as he knows, Mangal doesn’t like this kind of public attention. Pratima brushes it off.
Elsewhere, Sowmya tells Adit that it’s their six-month anniversary and asks him to fill her hair partition with sindoor. He complies. Sowmya says the day is special and suggests they go out for dinner at 8 p.m. Adit looks hesitant. Sowmya tells him he only needs to work until 7 p.m. and doesn’t need to overwork every day. Adit agrees and asks her to book a table. Sowmya hugs him and thinks to herself, “I know you’re hiding something. I overheard that you have work tonight. Let’s see if you choose me or work.”
Later, Pratima calls Kusum and invites her to the surprise birthday party she’s organizing for her future daughter-in-law.
At the office, Mangal arrives and is greeted by everyone. She feels that people are behaving oddly and wonders why. She sees Pratima and is surprised to find her at the office so early. Pratima tells Mangal that there’s a conference scheduled for 8 p.m. with a dress code and gives her a saree. Mangal questions the sudden conference and says she’ll confirm with Kapil. When she calls Kapil, he lies and says there’s indeed an important conference that evening with key clients attending and asks her to follow the dress code his mother mentioned. After cutting the call, he mutters that his mother booked him into this plan too. Mangal tells Pratima that Kapil confirmed the conference and offers to help, but Pratima declines and reminds her to wear the saree.
Meanwhile, Adit is feeling burdened with work. Kapil calls him and asks him to pick up a cake from the bakery. Adit reluctantly agrees but is frustrated with Kapil’s constant instructions. At the bakery, Adit picks up the cake and is surprised to see it’s for Mangal’s birthday. As he carries the cake to the car, he gets a call and decides to answer it after placing the cake inside.
Sowmya, frustrated that Adit isn’t answering her calls, gets up and accidentally knocks over Adit’s bag. She sees a Pehla Swad poster inside. Suspicious, she checks his bag further and finds a contact number. Upon calling, she learns that Adit went to a banquet hall for a birthday celebration for his boss. She suspects it might be Mangal’s birthday and that Adit lied to her. She gets the party location from the receptionist.
Adit brings the cake to the venue and wonders why Mangal is getting a grand celebration despite being just an employee. He places the cake and prepares to leave to meet Sowmya. A staff member mistakes him for a delivery person but then recognizes him and apologizes.
Madhu and Lipika arrive at the party. Lipika is excited. Adit notices Lipika and seems concerned. Meanwhile, Sowmya, on her way to the party, grows more anxious. She wonders why Adit is ignoring her calls and fears that since Adit and Mangal are not legally divorced, he might go back to her. She prays that her fears don’t come true.
Back at the venue, Kapil asks the decorators to turn off the lights. Mangal walks in and finds the room dark. She wonders if she has entered the wrong place and calls out. A spotlight falls on her, and she calls out for Kapil. Suddenly, the lights come on, and everyone showers her with flowers and wishes her a happy birthday. Mangal is shocked and overjoyed. Pratima hugs her warmly.
