Mangal Lakshmi– Lakshmi Ka Safar 22nd January 2026 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode begins with Bhavani applying balm to his body injuries. Jia mocks Krish for getting beaten by Lakshmi with a hunter whip. Krish tries to argue, but Bhavani stops him and says Jia is right. Bhavani tells Krish that this time he must show Lakshmi who he is and put her in her place. Krish agrees.
Lakshmi enters the room and notices a note and a gift on the bed. She reads the note, which says that their date from yesterday was incomplete, and the person wants to finish it today. The note also mentions that Lakshmi shouldn’t worry and should get ready. Lakshmi sees a saree and thinks that even in this stressful situation, Karan is thinking about her. She decides not to doubt him.
Lakshmi comes out dressed up when someone suddenly ties a cloth over her eyes. Lakshmi gets worried, but Krish, mimicking Karan’s voice, says it’s Karan and tells her not to worry. He says he is taking her somewhere as a surprise. Lakshmi says she is ready.
Krish takes Lakshmi to a secluded godown. Lakshmi removes the cloth from her eyes and says she doesn’t like such places and wants to leave. She turns around and is shocked to see Krish instead of Karan. Krish tells her that she caused him pain by beating him with the hunter whip, and even painkillers couldn’t heal him. Lakshmi smiles and says she is not scared of his plans. She tells him that if he wants to know about her, he should ask Jia. Lakshmi then reveals that she knew it was Krish from the moment he tied the cloth, as she recognised his touch.
Krish asks if she isn’t scared. Lakshmi replies that she is not, and she has already shared her live location with Karan from the beginning. She says Karan will come and see Krish’s dark intentions, and his blind trust in Krish will break today. Krish rebukes her.
Karan checks Lakshmi’s live location and reaches the spot. He finds Lakshmi and Krish there and questions Krish about why he brought Lakshmi to such a place. Krish claims that he brought them there as part of a date plan. Lakshmi tells Karan that Krish is lying and not to trust him.
Krish says Lakshmi doubts him too much and then reveals the date arrangements by removing the curtain. He tells Karan that he planned everything secretly, and Lakshmi unknowingly sent Karan the location, so he reached on time. Karan thanks Krish for the surprise. Lakshmi thinks Krish is as cunning as Jia. Krish asks Karan and Lakshmi to enjoy their date and leaves.
Lakshmi tries to tell Karan about Krish’s real intentions, but Karan asks her not to think about anything and to enjoy the romantic date. Lakshmi thinks Karan will break if he learns Krish’s true face, and he might never trust anyone again. Karan asks Lakshmi to think only about him, gets down on one knee, and kisses her hand. They dance romantically and enjoy their date while Krish watches them from afar.
Later, Krish complains to Jia about Karan being romantic with Lakshmi and says he can’t bear watching it. Jia asks Krish to calm down, but Krish lashes out at her. He reminds Jia that he kept her in the house by pretending to be in a relationship with her, and he can throw her out anytime by staging a fake breakup. Lakshmi secretly records their conversation and decides to expose Krish and Jia. She leaves, but Krish notices her.
Lakshmi comes to the hall and calls out for Karan. Krish rushes to her and struggles to grab her phone. The phone hits the wall, and Krish steps on it, breaking it.
Karan and Dadi arrive in the hall. Krish apologises to Lakshmi and says he broke her phone by mistake. He offers to buy her a new one. Lakshmi tells Krish to stop pretending and tells Karan that Jia and Krish are not in a real relationship—they are just acting.
Jia accuses Lakshmi of always doubting them. Jia asks Lakshmi if she hasn’t been following her on social media. Jia then announces that Krish has proposed to her and she is going to marry him.
The episode ends.
Precap:
During the wedding ritual, Jia tells the Kapoor family that the sister-in-law must wash her feet. She then asks Lakshmi to wash her feet.
Our Take: In this gripping episode, Lakshmi almost falls into Krish’s trap when he tricks her by pretending to be Karan and takes her to a secluded godown, but Lakshmi stays fearless and reveals that she already shared her live location with Karan. Krish cleverly covers up his intentions by showing a romantic date setup, which makes Karan trust him even more, while Lakshmi silently realises how cunning Krish and Jia truly are. The biggest twist comes when Lakshmi secretly records Krish threatening Jia and plans to expose them, but Krish breaks her phone before she can show the proof, and Jia shocks everyone by announcing her marriage to Krish and demanding Lakshmi wash her feet in the upcoming ritual.
Will Lakshmi finally reveal their real game?
