Mannat – 13th December 2025 Written Update:
Love begins to fall apart, and trust weakens after a shocking moment. The episode starts on a tense note at the Saluja house. The atmosphere is uncomfortable, and everyone senses trouble. Vikrant asks Vishaka to show him the message that has been upsetting him. Before that conversation can settle, Mannat walks in, unaware that she is stepping straight into a storm. Vishaka immediately goes on the offensive. Vishaka questions why Mannat has come there. She accuses Mannat of creating problems in her son’s life. According to Vishaka, Mannat is responsible for the rift between the two brothers. She speaks harshly and tells Mannat to leave the house. Vishaka makes it clear that Mannat is no longer welcome there.
Mannat, holding herself together with visible effort, asks Vikrant for a private conversation. She wants five minutes, one honest moment, without interference. Vikrant shuts that door instantly. He says his mother will stay and is involved in all his decisions. Mannat repeats that the matter is personal, but Vikrant replies that he does not wish to speak to her. He goes on to say that he does not even want to see her and asks her to leave at once.
Still standing her ground, Mannat says she came to share happy news. Vikrant scoffs at the idea. To him, nothing about Mannat is happy anymore. He refuses to hear a single word, dismissing her emotions as meaningless. Mannat tries again, reminding him that this news is not just hers but related to both of their lives. That line finally snaps something in Vikrant. He lashes out, claiming he already knows everything that is happening in Dhairya’s house. In his mind, Mannat has been exposed.
Mannat is shocked by his tone and asks why he is speaking this way after knowing the truth. Vikrant’s response is brutal. He accuses her of betrayal, asking how he can celebrate anything connected to her. Mannat is visibly shaken. She asks him when she betrayed him and why he is twisting everything. Vikrant brings up her questioning him earlier, her demand for proof, and declares that this time he has proof of her betrayal. What he calls proof is nothing more than his wounded ego mixed with poison fed by Vishaka.
The argument spirals fast. Vikrant repeatedly compares himself with Dhairya, accusing Mannat of replacing him emotionally. He believes she gave Dhairya his place, his importance, and his respect. Mannat tries to reason, tries to interrupt, tries to explain, but Vikrant refuses to hear anything. His anger has turned selective. He only listens to what confirms his pain.
At this breaking point, Mannat almost reveals the truth about her pregnancy. Her lips part, her body language shifts, and the moment hangs in the air. Vishaka immediately senses the danger and silences her, stepping in like a wall. Mannat snaps back, warning Vishaka to stay quiet. She turns to Vikrant and tells him he has changed beyond recognition. This is not the man she loved. This is someone consumed by suspicion and bitterness.
Shruthi enters the scene, trying to calm both of them. She asks Vikrant to stop, to listen, to breathe. Mannat, however, realises something devastating in that moment. Vikrant is not just angry with her. He is already rejecting her unborn child in his mind, without even knowing the truth. She asks Shruthi not to beg him. She refuses to reduce her pain into a spectacle.
Inside Vikrant’s head, the story is already written. He believes Dhairya proposed to Mannat and she accepted it. He convinces himself that Mannat has come here only to provoke him further. His words turn final when he declares that he will never accept her at any cost. No explanation, no apology, no truth will change his decision.
Shruthi once again tries to bring sense into the situation, but Vikrant pushes his version harder. He shows Mannat a photo of her with Dhairya and calls it proof. Mannat looks at the photo and asks if this is really what he calls evidence. She says she can explain everything. Vikrant refuses outright. He goes a step further, delivering the cruelest blow of the episode. He says Mallika is better than her. At least Mallika lied because she loved him, but Mannat never loved him at all.
That sentence breaks something irreversible.
Mannat slaps Vikrant.
The slap isn’t sudden. It’s been sitting inside her for months. Every insult she ignored, every doubt he planted, every time she told herself it wasn’t that bad—it all comes out in that one moment.
Mannat’s hands are shaking, but her voice isn’t. She tells him he never changes. That he keeps ruining things the same way every time. She says she won’t forgive him. Not now. Not ever. Not in this lifetime.
Then it slips out. The word she’s been choking on for so long. She says she hates him.
Vikrant doesn’t flinch. If anything, he looks relieved to finally say it back. He tells her he hates her too. No shouting. No drama. Just two people standing there, knowing something between them has finally died.
Mannat walks out.
As she leaves, she declares that Vikrant is no longer human to her. His heart is filled with poison, not love. Outside the emotional wreckage, Vishaka celebrates quietly, sharing the “happy news” with Aishwarya as if a war has been won. Shruthi notices this celebration and realises how calculated this destruction has been.
The episode ends with love officially dead, trust completely shattered, and a truth about to explode in the most dangerous way possible.
