Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar 17th October 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with Lakshmi coming home. She places her bag on the bed, and her book slips down. Lakshmi picks it up and notices the lyrics she had written. She recalls Karan’s words about completing the song and begins writing the remaining lines.
Meanwhile, Karan tells Barkha that Karthik has lost his three chances and says he can’t help a born loser. Barkha asks him to stop judging Karthik, calling him a super-talented singer who just needs a chance on stage to prove himself. Karan says luck has never helped anyone, so why should Karthik be special? Barkha defends Karthik, saying he’s a nice guy. Karan teases her to stop giving attention to Karthik like a loser. Barkha says they can discuss it later. Karan smiles and says he can read his sister’s feelings. He then declares that Karthik will sing at the event. Barkha happily calls him the best brother.
Lakshmi finishes writing the lyrics. Karan thinks Karthik can’t sing without them and sneaks into Lakshmi’s house to steal the papers. As he hears Lakshmi coming out of the bathroom, he hides inside the cupboard but starts coughing due to dust. Hearing the noise, Lakshmi walks toward the cupboard with a pan in hand. Karan suddenly opens the door, and they both fall to the floor. Karan says, “My work is done, I’m leaving. Come to the office on time.” Lakshmi grabs her diary back and angrily asks how he dared to steal it. She threatens to file a complaint and asks why he’s following her. Karan denies following her and tries to take the diary, but Lakshmi warns that she’ll burn it if he forces her. Karan lets go and says he only wants the lyrics. Lakshmi pushes him out and shuts the door. She thinks to herself that she gave her lyrics only to Karthik before and will not give them to anyone else.
Karthik, on a call with Gayatri, happily says he got the contract and can now afford his father’s treatment. He wonders who wrote the song lyrics. Meanwhile, Karan calls someone to arrange a new singer. Barkha comes to Karan and tells him she’s arranging a costume for Karthik. Karan says Karthik doesn’t have lyrics since Lakshmi refused to give them, so he’s searching for a new singer as he can’t risk the event. He leaves, and Barkha gets angry at Lakshmi.
Barkha calls Lakshmi. Lakshmi asks why she’s calling at 2 p.m. Barkha says they need to finalize costumes for the event and orders her to come to the office within 30 minutes. Lakshmi tries to say it’s not possible, but Barkha cuts the call. Lakshmi gets ready and informs Swetha before leaving for the office.
Barkha looks at Karthik’s photo on her phone. Lakshmi arrives and asks Barkha what the work is. Barkha tells her to get the cartons from the terrace. Lakshmi goes upstairs but finds no cartons. Barkha locks the door. Lakshmi gets drenched in rainwater and asks Barkha to open the door. Barkha says, “You didn’t give lyrics to Karan, that’s why this is happening.” When the door opens, Barkha approaches Lakshmi. Lakshmi says, “You can torture me, but I won’t give you my lyrics.” Barkha raises her hand, but Lakshmi stops her, warning, “You can’t blackmail or slap me.” Barkha angrily says her brother can hire top lyricists but doesn’t know why he liked Lakshmi’s words. Lakshmi replies, “Those words are my feelings. They’re personal, and I can’t give them.” Barkha insists she wants the lyrics and pushes Lakshmi, locking her on the terrace in the rain. Lakshmi thinks, My words were written for Karthik, but no one understands me.
Maddy tells Karthik that they’ve found another singer for the event and Karan has told him to vacate the office. Karthik calls Barkha and says he’s leaving, thanking her for motivating him, but it didn’t work. Barkha pleads with him not to go, promising to talk to Karan, but Karthik refuses and packs his things. Looking at his photo on her phone, Barkha says she won’t let him leave and starts feeling possessive about him.
Lakshmi writes “HELP” with mud on her dupatta and throws it down. The dupatta lands on Karthik. Lakshmi faints. Karthik sees the message and realizes someone is trapped on the terrace. He rushes upstairs and finds an unconscious woman lying in the rain.
Episode ends.
Precap: Lakshmi wants to thank the person who saved her.
