The 26th September episode of Mannat brings a shocking revelation for Dua as she finally learns that Dhairya is alive. What makes the situation even more complicated is Dhairya’s desperate warning to her not to reveal the truth to Mannat and Vikrant. As Dua struggles with the truth about the man she thought was dead, Ankit also begins preparing his revenge, putting Dua in serious danger.
Dhairya Secretly Contacts Dua
The episode begins with Dhairya teaching the children. He carefully plans to get some private time with Dua and decides to send Bunty and Yuvi away.
Dhairya tricks the two children into going outside and then pretends to help Dua clear her doubts. He soon excuses himself, claiming that he needs to use the washroom.
Once he gets away from everyone, Dhairya takes out his secret phone and makes a call.
Dua suddenly hears Pindu Sir’s phone ringing and loudly points it out.
Dhairya’s plan works, and Dua ends up answering the phone. The moment she hears his voice, she is completely shocked.
Dua asks him if he is alive.
Dhairya confirms that he is.
The revelation leaves Dua stunned. Dhairya then makes a desperate plea and asks Dua to save him.
Dua immediately tells him to come back home. She cannot understand why he is staying away when everyone believes he is dead.
Dhairya tells her that he cannot return right now. He begs Dua to help him because he is in danger.
Dua assures him that she will save him. She tells Dhairya that she will reveal the truth to Vikrant and Mannat.
Dhairya becomes terrified by the idea.
He pleads with Dua not to tell them anything, warning her that they will kill him if they find out he is alive. He asks her whether she will not help him and wonders if she has forgotten him.
Dua becomes emotional and assures him that she has not forgotten him. She tells him that she loves him very much.
Dhairya then asks her to keep his survival a secret. He asks her to meet him at night because he is in danger. He even says that he wants to hug her before he dies.
The emotional conversation leaves Dua deeply disturbed.
Dua Hides the Truth From Dhairya
Dhairya then asks Dua who had called him.
Dua lies and tells him that it was a wrong number.
Dhairya believes her and assumes that she will keep his secret.
Soon, Mannat returns home and is surprised to see Bunty and Yuvi sitting outside.
Bunty complains that Pindu Sir is very mean and has punished them.
Mannat greets Pindu, unaware of the shocking secret unfolding around her. Dhairya becomes nervous, fearing that his secret could be exposed, and excuses himself by saying that he needs to use the washroom.
At the same time, Vikrant calls Mannat and asks her to come back soon. He tells her that they can meet Pindu after their work is finished.
Dua remains lost in her thoughts.
She has just discovered something that could change everything, yet Dhairya’s warning has left her terrified of telling the truth.
Eventually, Mannat leaves.
Dhairya then tells Dua that his stomach is upset and leaves from there.
Dua Struggles With the Truth
Later, Bunty complains to Vikrant about Pindu.
Mallika points out that only Bunty and Yuvi seem to have a problem with him, while Dua has never complained about him.
Bunty asks Dua to say something.
Dua remains silent.
Inside, she desperately wants to tell her parents everything. She cannot understand why Dhairya warned her not to reveal the truth.
If Dhairya is alive, then what really happened?
Why did her mother lie to her?
Why did everyone allow her to believe that Dhairya was dead?
The questions keep troubling Dua.
When Vikrant and Mannat notice that something is wrong, Dua lies and says that she has a headache. She excuses herself instead of revealing what she knows.
Mannat senses that Dua is upset, and she and Vikrant decide that they need to speak to her.
Ankit Meets Dhairya
Elsewhere, Ankit is furious.
He thinks about how Mannat managed to send Samragi back to jail and vows that he will not leave them alone.
That is when Dhairya arrives.
Dhairya assures Ankit that he does not need to worry about his safety because Dhairya considers himself his friend.
He tells Ankit that he knows Samragi has gone back to jail. He also makes it clear that, in front of the outside world, Samragi is like a bhabhi to him and says that he loves her.
Ankit becomes suspicious.
He immediately wonders how Dhairya knows so much.
Ankit asks him to join hands with him.
Dhairya tells Ankit that he does not know him and should not try to dig into his personal details.
At the same time, Dhairya offers him a tempting proposition. He tells Ankit that he can help him take revenge.
He warns Ankit that refusing his help could ultimately prove to be a loss for him.
The conversation makes it clear that Dhairya has his own secrets, and his connection with Ankit could become extremely important.
Dua Finally Questions Mannat and Vikrant
Dua continues thinking about her conversation with Dhairya.
Mannat notices her disturbed expression and asks what is bothering her.
Vikrant also encourages Dua to open up. He assures her that they love her and will solve whatever problem she is facing.
Dua looks at her parents and realises just how much they care for her.
She finally decides to ask the question that has been troubling her since she heard Dhairya’s voice.
Dua asks them how Dhairya’s death actually happened.
The question leaves the truth hanging between them.
Dua now knows that Dhairya is alive, yet she has not been able to understand why everyone made her believe that he was dead.
The episode ends on this major emotional cliffhanger.
Precap
The upcoming episode takes the danger to another level.
Dua secretly sneaks out of the Saluja house to meet Dhairya.
Ankit then abducts Dua along with Dhairya.
Back at home, Mannat realises that Dua is missing and begins searching for her.
With both Dua and Dhairya now in Ankit’s hands, the truth surrounding Dhairya’s survival could finally come to light — but only if Mannat manages to find them in time.
Review
This episode finally gives Dua the answer she has unknowingly been waiting for: Dhairya is alive. The revelation works because it does not come with instant relief. Instead, it creates even more questions.
Dhairya’s desperation is what makes the track interesting. He wants Dua to save him, but at the same time he is terrified that she will tell Mannat and Vikrant. Dua is therefore trapped between her love for him and the fear that revealing the truth could put his life at risk.
Her silence around Mannat and Vikrant also creates an emotional tension. She knows something huge, but she cannot simply behave normally anymore.
The Ankit-Dhairya meeting adds another layer of mystery. Ankit clearly wants revenge, while Dhairya seems willing to use that anger for his own purposes. Their alliance could become extremely dangerous.
And then comes the precap.
Dua deciding to meet Dhairya secretly is exactly the kind of decision that can turn a secret into a disaster. With Ankit abducting both of them, Mannat’s search for Dua is likely to become the next major track.
The biggest question now is simple: what really happened to Dhairya, and why did Mannat allow Dua to believe he was dead?
