Mangal Lakshmi 9th January 2026 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Mangal trying to figure out how to escape. She sees that Sowmya is sleeping inside the cupboard. Mangal quietly comes out and sneakily escapes from the room. Outside, Mangal notices a disguised figure and is about to hit her with a vase, assuming the person belongs to Sowmya. Adit arrives and realizes it is Mangal. The vase falls to the floor. Adit asks Mangal what she is doing there. Hearing the noise, Sowmya wakes up. Mangal says that she came to take some papers from Sowmya as her lawyer asked her to collect them. Mangal confronts Adit, accusing him of being there to snatch the papers from her. She questions how he can support Sowmya even after everything that has happened. Adit is about to reveal that he returned to Sowmya as part of Shanti’s plan, but he stops when Sowmya arrives. Mangal hides. Sowmya notices an envelope and asks Adit about it. Adit says it might have fallen when he took the blanket and asks what is inside. Sowmya replies that they are just her medical files. Adit says it is cold and takes her inside. Mangal regrets losing the papers.
Mangal is about to leave from the main road when Adit stops her and asks her to take a different route so that Sowmya does not catch her. Mangal accuses Adit of supporting Sowmya and not helping her get the papers. Adit says he is actually helping her and reveals that he returned to Sowmya’s house only to retrieve the house papers. He explains that it was all part of a plan made by him and Shanti aunty. Mangal asks why they did not inform her earlier. Adit says it is better if fewer people know the plan. Mangal says they failed to get the papers. Adit reassures her, saying that truth always wins and he believes they will win too. Mangal reminds him that the house belongs to him and cannot be transferred without his signature. Adit reveals that Sowmya took his signature when he was unwell, claiming the papers were for health insurance. Mangal says she is sure Sowmya obtained the house by deceit.
The next day, Sowmya gives the papers to the lawyer and asks him to proceed with the property transfer, stating that Adit has transferred the property to his lawful wife, Sowmya. The lawyer agrees. Sowmya thinks that Adit believes he hid Mangal from her, but she saw Mangal’s slippers and understood their plan. She decides that Adit will not act against her, so she must do something against Mangal. She plans to send Mangal to God.
Kusum asks Mangal to attend the Pehla Swad meeting and advises her not to neglect her profession for the sake of family. She assures Mangal that she will take care of the family. Shanti also supports this, and Mangal agrees to go to the meeting. Mangal prays to Mata Rani to show her a way to defeat Sowmya. While leaving, her leg hits her bag and a packet she unknowingly took from Sowmya’s room falls at her feet. She places it near Mata Rani and decides to check it later after the investors’ meeting. A gust of wind blows, and burnt divorce papers fall out. Mangal notices her name and Adit’s name on them. She pieces the papers together and realizes that her divorce from Adit never happened. Mangal receives a call from Adit. He tells her that he will try to get the papers from Sowmya and asks her not to take any action until then. He regrets marrying Sowmya and says everyone is suffering because of his mistake. Mangal tries to tell him about the divorce papers but stops herself. She reassures him that everything will be fine and ends the call. She thinks that even if the divorce papers are invalid, Adit has already divorced her in his heart, so the papers do not matter. She places the packet in the temple and reflects on her strange fate.
The employees make arrangements for the Pehla Swad program. The lawyer calls Mangal and informs her that they cannot prove Sowmya took the property by fraud without seeing the papers, and asks her to retrieve them. Mangal agrees. After the call, Mangal asks that the pooja items be kept in one place. Sowmya instructs her man to secretly place a coconut bomb at Mangal’s party, ensuring it explodes at the right time and kills Mangal. He agrees.
The episode ends.
Our Take:
Mangal’s strength and determination stand out as she continues to fight for truth despite constant betrayal and emotional pain. The discovery that her divorce with Adit never actually happened brings a ray of hope, but Sowmya’s growing cruelty turns that hope into fear. With a deadly plan unfolding at the Pehla Swad event, the story reaches a tense point where truth and danger move side by side.
Is Mangal walking into a deadly trap at the Pehla Swad event?
