Mannat 20th August 2026 Written Update: Dhairya Gets Suspicious as Mannat and Vikrant Plan His Exposure
The 20th August 2026 episode of Mannat takes Dhairya’s anxiety to another level as he begins wondering whether Mannat is secretly planning something against him. While Mannat and Vikrant continue pretending that he has not regained his memory, they secretly prepare to expose Dhairya at his birthday celebration.
The episode begins with Dhairya thinking about Mannat’s efforts to bring back Vikrant’s memories.
He believes that Vikrant still has not regained his memory and that Mannat is not suspicious of him either.
Dhairya assumes that Vikrant will leave the house after a week. However, he knows Mannat will not let the matter end peacefully. She will continue trying to restore Vikrant’s memories.
Dhairya therefore decides that he needs to find a way to get Vikrant out of the house without creating a scene.
At the same time, another thought troubles him.
He wonders who the person blackmailing him is and asks himself who could dare to threaten him.
Mannat and Vikrant continue their act
Meanwhile, Vikrant has breakfast with the family.
He deliberately pretends to dislike the food and demands aloo paratha instead.
He complains about the Western-style breakfast and insists that he needs Punjabi food.
Mannat immediately argues with him, allowing them to maintain their act in front of everyone.
Dua watches them and becomes worried.
She fears that Vikrant may never regain his memories and that he and Mannat will continue fighting like this.
Roni asks Dua where Bunty and Yuvi are.
Dua tells him that they are busy completing their homework.
Roni asks Meena to send breakfast to their room.
When Meena comes into the kitchen, she notices Mannat and Vikrant together.
She becomes suspicious because they appear to be discussing something privately.
In reality, Mannat and Vikrant are planning to expose Dhairya during his birthday party.
Vikrant notices Roni nearby and immediately changes his behaviour.
He starts arguing with Mannat and pretends to be angry with her.
He even scolds Meena for coming in his way and asks her to stay away from him before leaving.
Mannat then pretends to cry.
Roni feels sorry for her and tells her that she is doing everything possible to bring Vikrant’s memory back.
He assures her that her hard work will eventually pay off.
Mannat agrees.
However, Meena is convinced that Vikrant still remembers nothing.
Meena reports everything to Ankit
Meena secretly calls Ankit and tells him what she has observed.
Ankit instructs her to continue keeping a close eye on Mannat and Vikrant.
Meanwhile, Mannat notices Dhairya watching her.
Roni asks Mannat whether she has planned anything to bring Vikrant’s memories back.
Mannat cleverly replies that she has not planned anything for Vikrant today.
Instead, she says that she is busy preparing for Dhairya’s birthday.
Mannat tells Roni that Dhairya has done a lot for them and that she wants to make his birthday special.
She wants to give him a surprise that he will never forget.
Roni appreciates Mannat for thinking about Dhairya’s happiness and blesses her.
Dhairya overhears this.
He becomes happy after hearing Mannat speak so positively about him.
He believes that Mannat genuinely cares about his happiness.
However, he has no idea that the birthday celebration is actually part of a much bigger plan.
Dhairya confronts Samragi in jail
Later, Dhairya visits Samragi in jail.
He shows her a knife and threatens her.
He warns Samragi to keep her sister under control and tells her that he will not spare her if she tries to harm Mannat or Vikrant.
Samragi immediately questions Dhairya’s motive.
She tells him that she knows she did not harm Vikrant.
She also insists that Manyata loves Abhimanyu and therefore would never hurt him.
Samragi makes her position clear.
She wants Abhimanyu back and demands that he be released from their custody.
She warns Dhairya that she will not remain quiet once the seven-day period ends.
If they betray her, she will not hesitate to take action.
Samragi further warns Dhairya that he has no idea what she is capable of doing.
She tells him that after the seven days are over, Abhimanyu should be sent back to the Rajvansh family.
Dhairya listens carefully.
He begins thinking that Samragi may not be the mysterious blackmailer threatening him.
Dua prepares Dhairya’s birthday surprise
Later, Dua gives Dhairya a surprise.
She tells him that Mannat arranged everything.
At the same time, Meena sends Ankit a message informing him that Mannat is celebrating Dhairya’s birthday, while Vikrant has not attended the celebration.
Ankit passes the information to Samragi.
Samragi believes they may be unnecessarily suspicious of Vikrant.
She says that Vikrant clearly does not remember his past.
However, she then reveals something important.
She tells Ankit that Dhairya came to visit her in jail.
Samragi finds his visit suspicious and believes that he must have a hidden motive.
She feels that something strange is happening inside the Saluja family and asks Ankit to find out what it is.
She instructs him to tell Meena to continue monitoring Dhairya’s movements.
Dhairya fears Vikrant may remember everything
Meanwhile, Dua shows Dhairya a photograph.
Dhairya initially thinks about his birthday.
But then he realises that the photograph contains Vikrant.
His expression changes immediately.
Dhairya becomes frightened that seeing the photograph could somehow trigger Vikrant’s memories.
If Vikrant remembers everything, his entire truth could be exposed.
Dhairya’s fear grows as he realises that the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous for him.
The episode ends with Dhairya worried that his carefully protected secret could finally come out.
Precap
Vikrant plans to expose Dhairya during his birthday party.
Mannat brings Dhairya’s birthday cake, leaving him shocked when he sees “Khoon Kumar” written on it.
Mannat then confronts Dhairya.
Dhairya finally admits that he killed his brother.
Review
This episode does a good job of building anticipation for Dhairya’s eventual exposure. The best part is the contrast between what Dhairya believes and what is actually happening. He thinks Mannat is simply trying to restore Vikrant’s memories, while in reality, Mannat and Vikrant are already working together against him.
The birthday celebration is shaping up to be a major turning point. Dhairya’s visit to Samragi also adds another layer to the mystery because he is desperately trying to identify the person blackmailing him.
The final photograph scene is particularly effective because Dhairya immediately realises the danger of Vikrant remembering his past. With the precap promising his confession about killing his brother, the upcoming episode could deliver the long-awaited confrontation.
Rating: 4.5/5
