Mangal Lakshmi – Lakshmi Ka Safar 26th May 2025 Written Update on SerialGossip.in
The episode starts with the police telling Karthik that until Jia is fully treated and gives her statement, the case will remain officially open. The inspector informs Karthik that they will check on Jia from time to time. The officer then leaves.
Jia is shown pleading with Gayatri not to send her out of the house and asks her to do something. Gayatri calls the South Delhi police station and tells them that Jia is mentally ill and that the case was closed based on her statement, which could cause them trouble. She then turns to Jia and tells her that, in order to keep her in the house, she is reopening the case — which could even land Jia in jail.
Gayatri then goes to Karthik and says she doesn’t want to go to jail and requests that Jia not be sent away. Karthik calms her down and says Jia will stay here and no one will question her mental health. Lakshmi tries to object, but Karthik ignores her.
Later, Lakshmi searches Jia’s room for a phone she might have used to call the police. Nidhi helps her. Lakshmi finds a phone, but Jia quickly grabs it and claims it’s hers. When Lakshmi tries to take it back, Karthik walks in and asks what’s going on. Lakshmi tells him Jia used this phone to call the police and create a situation where they can’t send her away. Karthik replies that he was the one who gave Jia the phone and tells Lakshmi to stop being suspicious about everything.
That night, Lakshmi lies down next to Karthik but starts shivering. Karthik notices that she has a high fever and begins caring for her. She tells him, “You’re upset with me, so why do you care?” Karthik responds, “I can’t stop taking care of you. I don’t know why, but you always fall sick whenever I’m upset with you.” Lakshmi says, “Just the thought of upsetting you makes me anxious, and I fear losing you — that’s why my health suffers.” Karthik reassures her that nothing will separate them. He makes her lie on his chest, and they sleep peacefully. Jia watches them angrily.
Jia sneaks into the kitchen and picks up a knife, planning to kill Lakshmi before she can expose her. Gayatri stops her and asks what she’s up to. Jia confesses she feels like a loser and wants to kill Lakshmi because Karthik always chooses her. Gayatri warns her that Karthik will never accept her if she kills Lakshmi. She tells Jia to trust her plan and assures her that everything will be settled. Just then, Sanjana enters and hears Gayatri talking. She switches on the lights and sees Gayatri alone. She asks if Gayatri has a sleep disorder. Gayatri brushes it off and walks away. Jia, hiding nearby, thinks Gayatri is smart.
The next morning, Karthik is in the kitchen preparing fruit for Lakshmi. Gayatri asks what he’s doing there and offers to make food for him. Karthik says Lakshmi was unwell last night, so he’s taking fruit for her. He walks away. Gayatri fumes, thinking that Lakshmi is taking Karthik away from her.
Later, Karthik sees Lakshmi at the temple and asks her to rest since she’s still recovering. Lakshmi says she’s fine and that she’s observing the Vat Savitri Vrat. Karthik realizes she hasn’t eaten the fruit he brought. He tells her to observe the fast next year instead. Sanjana remarks that a wife who observes this fast ensures her marriage lasts for seven lifetimes. Jia watches all of this and vows to destroy Lakshmi’s fast.
The episode ends.
