Bhagya Lakshmi 16th September 2024 Written Update: Malishka’s Cunning Plot Unfolds

The episode begins with Lakshmi focused on cleaning the floor. As she heads to the kitchen carrying a basket, she accidentally misses Rishi’s presence, leading to a brief moment of confusion between the two. Rishi quickly steps aside, allowing Lakshmi to proceed. While she washes her hands, Rishi walks up to her and stops her, making her feel slightly uneasy.

He gently touches her face, causing Lakshmi to ask what he’s doing. Rishi reassures her that his actions are in her best interest. Confused but intrigued, Lakshmi watches as Rishi takes out a napkin, dips it in water, and tenderly wipes her face. A soft smile forms on Lakshmi’s lips as Rishi playfully asks if she’s ready to answer his question.

Lakshmi, not knowing what he’s referring to, asks what the question is. Rishi teases her, claiming his question won’t be as difficult as hers. She humorously retorts that his questions are always serious. With a more direct tone, Rishi then tells her he wants to ask something important, and Lakshmi encourages him to go ahead.

Elsewhere, Malishka is confidently strategizing with Anushka. She assures Anushka that she has full control over Rishi and the unfolding situation. Anushka, curious, asks if Malishka’s confidence comes from her association with Balvinder, briefly catching Malishka off guard.

Back in the kitchen, Rishi finally gathers the courage to ask Lakshmi if she is willing to reconsider their relationship. Stunned, Lakshmi is left speechless and just stares at him. Realizing that she needs more time, Rishi gently tells her there’s no rush and that she can think about it. He then quietly leaves, leaving Lakshmi deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Kiran talks with Malishka, revealing that she had told Anushka about Balvinder. Slightly irritated, Malishka asks if Kiran also explained the reasons for Balvinder’s involvement and who had summoned him. Malishka openly admits that she was the one who called Balvinder to deal with her problems.

She advises Anushka to stop blaming others and take action herself. Anushka, feeling a bit targeted, asks if Malishka’s comment was directed at her, but Malishka clarifies that she was speaking in general. Karishma steps in, urging them to stop arguing, reminding them that they’re all working towards the same goal, even if their approaches differ. Confidently, Malishka informs them that Balvinder, her crucial asset, has already arrived.

Balvinder is later seen performing a pooja when he notices someone approaching. In another location, a smuggler grows anxious when a phone call goes unanswered, and he spots a nearby police officer. Sensing potential trouble, Balvinder instructs his associate, Avinash, to bring the daughter-in-law of the house as they’ll need her for an upcoming task.

The police officer, unsure of where to go, appears confused while trying to find the guest room. The smuggler approaches and offers to help, asking where the officer is headed. The officer, feeling irritated by the interruption, confronts the smuggler. In an attempt to diffuse the situation, the smuggler introduces himself as the head caterer and guides the officer to a room where a Pandit is lying unconscious. The smuggler tries to explain that the Pandit is simply resting, but when the officer grows suspicious, the smuggler unexpectedly knocks him out, steals his pistol, and flees the scene.

Meanwhile, Shalu is lost in her thoughts, trying to understand Aayush’s strange behavior. Aansh, noticing her troubled expression, runs after her to try and lift her spirits. However, Shalu remains distant, brushing off his attempts. Determined to know what’s wrong, Aansh presses her for an answer. Frustrated, Shalu tells him to leave her alone, but quickly apologizes for her harsh words.

Aansh, taking it in stride, reassures her that he knew something was bothering her and jokingly suggests it might be a boyfriend issue. Shalu laughs, replying that even if she were having issues with a boyfriend, she would still feel safe around Aansh. As they walk together, Aayush watches them from a distance, feeling emotional as he remembers his past moments with Shalu.

Back with Balvinder, he advises Guddu to be ready for the storm that’s coming. Guddu, curious, asks for details. Balvinder explains that when the chaos begins, they will use the distraction to escape with Lakshmi. He subtly gestures toward a group of people who are involved in something suspicious.

Later, Anushka receives a call and rushes to inform Dadi that Mami has arrived. Dadi, turning to Neelam, asks why she’s late. Neelam explains that she had to visit an old age home supported by their NGO. Dadi directs Neelam to prepare for Darshan. Neelam then inquires about Acharia Jee and the pooja thali.

Balvinder, still pretending to be part of the ceremony, tries to convince Neelam that he can perform the pooja in Acharia Jee’s absence. However, Neelam remains firm, insisting that only Acharia Jee can handle the special ritual. Balvinder, undeterred, tries to argue that he’s a qualified Brahmin, but Neelam apologizes, saying she senses something off about him.

Around the same time, Anushka notices a bracelet on the Pandit and realizes it’s Balvinder in disguise. She quickly informs Kiran of her discovery. Malishka, sensing the tension, steps in and tries to calm everyone, offering to call Acharia Jee. Neelam reassures the disguised Pandit that he doesn’t need to worry but insists that she prefers Acharia Jagarnath Jee to handle the ceremony.

At that moment, Lakshmi rushes in, asking what the Pandit had wanted to say. Neelam, pressing for answers again, asks why Acharia Jee is missing. Flustered, Balvinder quickly excuses himself, claiming he needs to contact the real Acharia Jee.
