Mangal Lakshmi 4th April 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins with Adit and his family performing a Shanti Pooja for Sudesh. Sowmya wonders why the pooja is happening so late. She worries, thinking she only has 10 lakhs—how will she arrange the remaining 15 lakhs?
She recalls how Suresh had blackmailed her the previous night. He had said, “Because of your message, Sudesh lost his life. I saw your phone at the location where he died. I’m a hacker, and I want 25 lakhs to hide the truth.” Sowmya tries to stop him, but Adit comes out after hearing a noise. She and Suresh hide until Adit leaves. Suresh then demands that Sowmya deposit 25 lakhs into his account, threatening to expose her otherwise.
The pandit asks Adit to light the ceremonial lamp. Adit does, but the flame keeps going out. The pandit says it’s a sign that Sudesh is not accepting the pooja—perhaps his favorite person is not present. Meanwhile, Mangal is also doing a pooja for Sudesh, which is accepted. She prays for his support in her business so she can gain custody of Kusum and the kids, and they can all live together under one roof. A flower falls on her, and she takes it as an auspicious sign.
Back at Adit’s house, the pandit declares the pooja complete. Sowmya is still preoccupied with how to arrange the remaining 15 lakhs. Meanwhile, Kusum removes her mangalsutra and other jewelry. Adit asks her what she is doing. Kusum replies that she doesn’t want them anymore. Seeing this, Sowmya decides to steal the jewelry to pay off Suresh.
Kusum tells Ishana to place the jewelry in the almirah. Ishana takes it inside. Sowmya then asks Adit to stay with Kusum to comfort her and says she’ll go order food. Noticing that Ishana has left the room, she sneaks in, finds the key, unlocks the cupboard, and steals the bangles to sell them and gather the remaining 15 lakhs.
Meanwhile, Mangal arrives in the area looking for the Startup Sultan building. Coincidentally, Sowmya also arrives there to sell the stolen bangles. She negotiates a deal for 15 lakhs. As Mangal enters the gold shop to inquire about the Startup Sultan office, a worker gives her the address. Sowmya tries to leave quickly, but the shopkeeper calls her back to hand over the money. Mangal spots the bangles and recognizes them as Kusum’s. Sowmya rushes out in a panic.
At home, Ishana tries to feed Akshat, but he refuses to eat. Kusum watches and feels disheartened. She wonders how Mangal could leave the kids in such a situation. She says, “I’ve known Mangal for years. How could she leave without even speaking to me?” Kusum begins to suspect something is wrong and decides to talk to Mangal.
Later, Mangal confronts Sowmya and asks if Kusum knows she tried to sell her bangles. She reminds her that the bangles were a gift from Sudesh and should never be sold. Sowmya tells Mangal to stay out of her family matters. Mangal asserts that her relationship with Kusum won’t end so easily. Sowmya lies, saying she came to get the bangles repaired with Adit’s permission and claims she has enough bank balance to buy many such bangles. She challenges Mangal to call Adit from her phone, knowing he won’t answer Mangal’s calls. Mangal stays silent.
Sowmya tells Mangal that she has no value in their house and no one is even talking about her. Mangal firmly replies that her bond with Kusum and the children will never end until her last breath. She warns Sowmya not to trouble the people she loves otherwise she will not leave her.
The episode begins with Karthik asking Radha if she’s ready, as he is about to leave for a recording at the studio. Radha joins him and says she’s ready. Just then, Karthik notices his team has arrived at home and asks them why. Jia explains that pest control was done at the studio, so they came to his house instead, knowing how much of a workaholic he is. Karthik apologizes to Radha and asks her to go to the temple with the driver, then heads inside with his team. Meanwhile, Jia taunts Radha, saying Karthik doesn’t belong to her. Radha confidently claims that Karthik is hers and rebukes Jia.
Later, Jia enters her room and notices the lights are off. She turns on the fan, but it doesn’t work. Radha walks in and declares herself the malkin (owner) of the house, saying she had the lights and fan cut off in Jia’s room. When Jia argues, Radha shuts her down and walks away.
Radha then calls Jia to bring her tiffin. Gayatri and Sanjana notice Radha wearing jewelry that Jia had earlier taken from Gayatri. Sanjana remarks that Radha looks like a true malkin, sitting on the sofa. Jia arrives and rudely tells Radha that she isn’t her servant. Radha asks Jia to massage her legs. Jia refuses. Radha reminds her that she is the bahu (daughter-in-law) of the house and deserves respect. When Jia points out that the jewelry Radha is wearing is hers, Lakshmi steps in and says that the jewelry belongs to the bahu of the house—so it rightfully belongs to Radha. Jia threatens Radha to return the jewelry, but Radha calmly tells her to speak with respect.
Radha removes the jewelry and places it in a small box, handing it to Gayatri and saying, “This belongs to you, so please keep it in the locker.” Sanjana tells Gayatri that Radha is teaching Jia a good lesson and helping them. Enraged, Jia pins Radha against the wall and says she can’t tolerate her in the house. She pushes Radha, who hits her head and cries out in pain. Karthik rushes in, and Radha accuses Jia of trying to kill her. Karthik scolds Jia for her behavior. Jia defends herself, claiming that Radha stole the jewelry, which Gayatri now holds. When Karthik asks Gayatri if that’s true, she denies it. Karthik then questions Jia for creating unnecessary problems.
Radha says she regrets not listening to her mother’s advice and declares that she will file an attempt-to-murder case. Gayatri and Umesh stop her, saying it wouldn’t be good if the police get involved. Radha agrees but demands a guarantee for her safety—which, according to her, can only happen if Jia leaves the house. She threatens to file a police complaint otherwise. Jia mocks Radha, saying she’s uneducated and can’t throw her out. Radha asks what right Jia has to stay and demands she leave. Sanjana nudges Gayatri to use this opportunity. Gayatri takes Karthik aside and tells him that the situation is getting out of control. She suggests that until his marriage with Radha is annulled, it would be best if Jia stays away. She urges him to think practically. Karthik looks on, torn.
Karthik and Gayatri return to the hall. Jia demands Karthik tell Radha her real value in the house. But Karthik says all the chaos is because of Jia, and they are in this situation because of her. He politely asks her to leave and return to her own home. Shocked, Jia accuses him of siding with Radha and forgetting their love. Karthik’s family feels relieved and happy. He reminds Jia that it was she who made Radha sit in the wedding mandap and left him with no choice. He asks her to leave without creating more drama. Jia realizes the situation is slipping out of her control. Lakshmi silently vows to remove Jia from Karthik’s life and help him regain his memory.
Lakshmi offers to bring Jia’s luggage. Jia looks at Karthik, hurt. Radha brings the luggage and hands it to Jia, asking her to leave. Karthik says the driver will drop her home. Jia tells him to leave her completely then and questions why he still cares. She walks out with her luggage. Gayatri thinks to herself that Radha will be next, as a servant can never become Karthik’s wife. Radha waves goodbye to Jia and shuts the main door. Lakshmi thanks Maata Rani for supporting her and decides to help Karthik recover his memory. She tells Gayatri that it’s time to celebrate and says she’ll go to the market to buy vegetables. Gayatri agrees.
Later, Gayatri asks Radha why she didn’t bring any vegetables. Radha makes an excuse, but Gayatri begins to suspect her behavior. Meanwhile, Lakshmi finds the court recording pen drive and plans to use it to help Karthik regain his memory. She sets up a projector and places photos of her and Karthik on the terrace. She prays to Maata Rani for help in bringing Karthik upstairs to reveal the truth.
Episode ends.
