Mannat 17th June 2025 Written Update: Mallika’s Evil Plot. Today in Mannat, the episode opens with Mannat running a full-time spy agency in her head, worried Aishwarya might crack the Gagan code. Mannat spots Shalini and immediately turns her into a pawn, texting her to “accidentally” knock over Ravinder. Shalini, with the subtlety of a brick, manages it, and Mannat sneaks a peek into Ravinder’s phone — and boom! Mystery solved. Gagan was the one leaking info, but surprise, he was actually helping her. She wipes the evidence clean like a pro and puts the phone back before Aishwarya can raise an eyebrow. Shalini plays along, pretending to “find” the phone like she just discovered a fossil.
Aishwarya, in her usual queen-of-attitude mode, storms off frustrated because she still has no clue who’s playing her. Meanwhile, Mallika is plotting a fire stunt straight out of a C-grade action movie — she wants Mannat to go up in flames during her stage performance, but only her. Yes, Mallika is basically applying for a villainous internship with Jafar and Ursula.
Cut to the restaurant where Gagan sees his phone and panics like a teen who’s left his chat open in front of mom. Mannat confronts him, and he finally spills his tragic soap opera: turns out Aishwarya married him for power, took over his business, crushed his ego, and has him living like a houseplant — no respect, no peace, and even his daughter’s against him. Basically, Gagan’s living the “I-married-a-boss-lady-and-now-I’m-her-doormat” saga.
He admits he wants revenge, and guess who’s his weapon of choice? Yep, Mannat — because she once dared to challenge Aishwarya and apparently, ruined her beauty sleep. Mannat’s still confused why Aishwarya hates her so much, considering she didn’t even steal her snacks. But turns out, she did burn down her colony and put her mom in a coma. So there’s that.
The Mehandi function starts (because nothing says festive like murder plots and emotional trauma). Gagan tells Mannat that he already blackmailed Aishwarya for 1 crore using a random “photo proof,” and Mannat’s like, “Bro, why are we playing James Bond now?” But Gagan insists they need to spook her into messing up.
Just when things seem calmer, Aishwarya accidentally applies mehandi on Mannat — oh the irony. Gagan follows Aishwarya with his villain playlist on loop. Mannat gets ready to dance, and Mallika watches gleefully, thinking, “Yes, today’s the day she dies.” And that, folks, is your daily dose of toxic weddings, secret alliances, and a sprinkle of attempted murder — all before the sangeet.
