Mangal Lakshmi 5th March 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Sowmya speaking against Mangal in front of Adit, but Adit supports Mangal. Sowmya asks if he still loves her, mentioning that he has changed lately. Adit holds her hand and reassures her, saying he loves her. Just then, Sudesh arrives. Adit quickly lets go of Sowmya’s hand and asks Sudesh what he wants. Sudesh says, “I’m giving my prescription to Mangal for medicines, so give yours too.” Adit replies that Sowmya will handle the medicines. Sowmya reluctantly takes the prescription.
Meanwhile, Mangal finds the food packet she prepared while cleaning the house. Kusum arrives, and Mangal insists that Kusum give her a head massage. Kusum agrees and tells Mangal she knows she’s upset. Mangal replies, “Maybe participating in the competition isn’t in my fate, so don’t worry.” Kusum starts the massage, but Mangal gets a call. Kusum answers it — Smita tells Mangal that her mother is inspired by her and urges her to return to the show. However, Mangal refuses and ends the call. Later, Judge Sidhant calls Mangal and informs her that they’ve removed the assistant director, requesting her to give the show another chance. Mangal still refuses to return.
The next day, Ishana refuses to go to school. When Mangal asks why, Ishana explains that her friends are teasing her by linking her name with Sidhant, and she doesn’t like it. Mangal advises her not to care about what others say and to focus on her studies. Ishana retorts, “Then why did you leave the show? It’s easy to tell others, but hard to follow yourself.” Just then, they hear a horn, and Ishana leaves for school. Kusum gently suggests that Mangal reconsider her decision.
Later, Jigar gets a call from his boss, who tells him to convince Mangal to return to the show. Jigar calls Mangal and urges her to come back and pursue her dreams. Meanwhile, Sidhant scolds Sailaja for trying to bribe Mangal. Sailaja shrugs and says, “I made her a great offer, but she’s a fool to reject it.”
On the competition day, the anchor calls the contestants to the stage. To everyone’s surprise, Mangal steps onto the stage, and the audience erupts in applause. Mangal emotionally says, “I left the show because I was upset, but the viewers’ calls and my daughter brought me back. I’m here for my dreams, not for money.” Sidhant smiles and welcomes her back, instructing the anchor to start the show. The anchor announces that the next round is full of surprises.
Later, Mangal and Kusum dry the food ingredients for the competition. Adit notices water flowing toward Mangal’s food and rushes to stop it. However, in his attempt, he accidentally breaks the tap, drenching all the food. Mangal looks devastated as she stares at the spoiled ingredients.
Meanwhile, Sanjana and Umesh tell Gayatri that it’s better to reveal the truth to Karthik. But Gayatri begs them not to. Lakshmi pleads with Gayatri to understand that Jia is influencing Karthik’s decisions. Gayatri, however, remains firm and vows to stop the wedding without revealing the truth to Karthik.
Karthik calls Jia, saying he wants to meet her and ease her insecurities. Lakshmi overhears this and prays to God for a way to save her relationship. A gust of wind blows her earring near Karthik, triggering flashes of memories. Karthik picks up the earring and tells Lakshmi he’s seeing visions of a girl, but it’s not Jia — he just can’t figure out who it is. Lakshmi feels a glimmer of hope as he walks away, determined to stop the marriage.
Later, Lakshmi prays to Lord Shiva, and Karthik joins her, asking her to come with him. He takes her to a jewelry store and asks her to help him choose a ring to propose to Jia. They both like a ring, and when the vendor asks for the size, Karthik slides the ring onto Lakshmi’s finger to check the fit. He then hands it back to the vendor to pack and steps away to take a call. Lakshmi returns the ring, and Karthik thanks her for her help. Curious, he asks why she decorated the pooja room. Lakshmi tells him about the Mahashivratri pooja, and Karthik says he plans to propose to Jia on this auspicious day.
Later, Karthik meets Jia while Lakshmi performs the pooja with her family, praying for divine intervention. Karthik tells Jia, “I wanted to propose to you for marriage, but after talking to Lakshmi, my decision has changed.” Jia is visibly upset.
