Mangal Lakshmi 9th February 2026 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Ishana coming home in a hurry and telling Kusum that her mom came to give a lecture at the college and a big tamasha happened there. Kusum asks Ishana to calm down and explain what happened properly. Shubhi and Mangal arrive there. Shubhi explains that some mischievous students locked Mangal in the arts room, and that is what happened. Gayatri mentions that Ishana said there was some tamasha. Ishana says that whatever Mangal and Shubhi explained is what actually happened and leaves angrily.
Ishana goes to her room and plays music whenever she is upset. Gayatri raises a point about her behaviour. Shubhi says Ishana is upset because Mangal didn’t inform her that she was coming to her college as a guest lecturer, and that Ishana will be fine once she eats the kheer prepared by Mangal. Mangal tells Kusum that she will prepare the kheer.
Aarav asks his friend why he took rent from her. His friend says that she is his badi mom and since Aarav failed to pay the rent, he took the advance rent that she paid for one year. Aarav asks him to return the money, saying that he doesn’t want anything from her, but his friend refuses. Aarav vacates the room and leaves. His friend wonders what issue Aarav has with his mom.
In the kitchen, Mangal thanks Shubhi for bringing Jairaj’s father to the police station and managing the matter both at the station and at home. Shubhi says the kheer is ready and suggests giving it to Ishana. Mangal says Ishana’s anger will not cool down so soon. Shubhi says Ishana loves Mangal and proudly took a stand for her in college, calling her her mother. She says that once Ishana eats the kheer, she will talk to Mangal on her own.
Vishal video‑calls Ishana and tells her that he got suspended. Ishana says it was his mistake to lock her mom in the room. Vishal and his friend say her mom is a criminal and that they don’t want to talk to her anymore. Ishana says her mom has returned home. Vishal accuses Mangal of bribing the police and cuts the call.
Shubhi comes with the kheer and feeds Ishana. Ishana realizes that the kheer was prepared by Mangal, breaks the bowl in anger, and says she hates Mangal. Mangal sees everything from the doorway. Later, Shubhi plays music and makes Ishana dance with her. Mangal feels happy seeing that Ishana is feeling better.
Jairaj is playing cricket and gets out. Mangal rushes to the office to conduct interviews for new jobs. Jairaj sees a female worker and says he doesn’t like women workers, questioning why she hasn’t left yet. Yashvardhan arrives there. Jairaj accuses him of sending him to the police station. Yashvardhan says he actually saved him because he saw honesty in Mangal’s eyes.
Aarav comes to Mangal’s office for an intern interview. He says he didn’t know it was her office and apologizes for not helping her earlier at college. Mangal says she saw his resume and that he has got the job. Aarav asks if he can join after two days as he is searching for a place to stay. Mangal says she knows a place and takes Aarav to her home.
Ishana wonders why her mom brought Aarav home. Kusum tells Mangal that it is not appropriate for Aarav to stay there since they have two grown‑up daughters. Mangal assures her that Aarav is a good person and will stay in the outhouse. She insists on helping him. Neel supports Mangal, while Gayatri feels it’s not a good idea. Aarav tells Mangal that he doesn’t want to disturb the family and will look for another place. Mangal helplessly watches him leave, then stops him and allows him to stay.
The episode ends.
Precap: Mangal senses Jairaj behind her. Jairaj taunts her, saying it looks like she has just come out of the kitchen. He warns her not to go against him and threatens that within two days he will destroy Pehla Swaad. Mangal firmly replies that she will not tolerate anyone messing with Pehla Swaad and challenges him, saying they will see who gets ruined in the end.
Our Take:
Ishana’s anger boils over after the college tamasha, but Mangal’s care and Shubhi’s support slowly begin to soothe her. Aarav’s arrival brings new challenges at home and work, testing Mangal’s kindness and judgment.
Meanwhile, Jairaj’s threat to Pehla Swaad sets the stage for an intense family and business showdown.
Will Jairaj’s Threats Shake Mangal?
