Mangal Lakshmi 9th December 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode opens with the contestants dancing while cooking. The tension rises immediately when Sowmya burns her dish. Farah, seeing this, advises her to quickly prepare another one since there is still an hour remaining. Sowmya responds that her pregnancy makes the task difficult. Farah, however, encourages her by sharing her own experience, noting that she danced even while pregnant with three children, urging Sowmya to keep moving. The focus shifts as one contestant stops dancing, and Farah prompts her to resume cooking. Meanwhile, Sowmya becomes envious of Mangal, who then accidentally pours too much salt into her food. Dilip suggests Mangal might need to start over, but she ingeniously removes some portion, adds flour balls, and explains that this will reduce the saltiness. Dilip is impressed, thanking her for teaching him a new technique.
As the cooking time concludes, the contestants arrange their finished dishes and place their name plates. In a deceitful move, Sowmya seizes a moment when no one is watching to swap her name plate with Mangal’s, placing her own on Mangal’s food. Farah then announces a twist: the judges for this round will be the contestants’ loved ones. A contestant confidently remarks that her husband will surely give her full marks, eliciting a smile from Farah and Bhabhi Ji. The companions are blindfolded before being brought in. Farah explains that the dishes have been shuffled, and the judging must be based solely on taste. The companions proceed to sample the food placed in front of them and submit their scores.
Farah returns to the stage, holding the final results. She announces the rankings: Karan is in 4th place, Sakshi is 3rd, and Supriya is 2nd, leading up to the announcement of Amit’s elimination. Farah mentions that Mangal “enjoyed the round well” and is in 5th place, a ranking that pleases Sowmya. Farah then reveals that there is only a one-mark difference between the lowest score and the eliminated dish.
Confused, Kusum asks Mangal what went wrong, as Mangal insists she prepared well and doesn’t know how the results were incorrect. Farah declares Sowmya the clear winner due to her higher points. Sowmya is called to the stage, crowned, and given a bouquet. At this point, Dilip notices that the dishes made by Sowmya and Mangal have been swapped. When Farah asks Sowmya what she prepared, Dilip interjects, stating Sowmya prepared burnt noodles with paneer.
Farah then proudly declares that the winning dish for the day is gatte ki sabzi with puri, which Mangal immediately claims to have prepared. Dilip confirms Mangal’s claim.
Farah states that the winning dish rightfully belongs to Mangal. Bhabhi Ji apologizes for a staff mistake that led to the mix-up, and Farah accepts the apology before officially declaring Mangal the winner of the round. Kusum is overjoyed. Farah takes the bouquet and golden hat back from Sowmya and presents them to Mangal, who is ecstatic. Farah praises Mangal’s cooking. A frustrated Sowmya looks on.
Farah then asks Mangal who accompanied her, and Mangal proudly introduces her Amma (mother). Farah asks to meet her, and Mangal calls Kusum to the stage. Kusum enters the stage congratulates Mangal. Farah calls Kusum lucky to have Mangal as a bahu and compliments their bond. A contestant refers to Kusum as the “Ex-Saas,” but Mangal quickly corrects her, stating that Kusum is now her mother. Farah expresses being touched by their deep relationship, and Mangal explains that Kusum has always treated her like a mother and taught her to cook, calling her her true partner. Farah encourages them to continue their loving relationship. Farah announces the next round. She dances with the contestants, and then leaving with Dilip.
