Mangal Lakshmi 3rd October 2024 Written Episode Update: Mangal Uncovers Soumya’s Deception
Scene 1
Kusum bursts into Soumya’s house, furious, and accuses her, “How could you send my son to jail?” Soumya, clearly bewildered, replies, “What are you talking about?” Kusum, not holding back, shouts, “Don’t act innocent! I know you used Lakshmi’s phone to call the police. You’re trying to create trouble between Mangal and Adit. He chose his wife over you, and now you’re pulling these tricks to win him back. Stop this vile behavior!”
Defending herself, Soumya counters, “Why would I do that? It was Lakshmi’s fault, not mine!” But Kusum is unconvinced. “No, it was you, and I have evidence,” Kusum says, as her rage intensifies. Unable to handle the pressure, Soumya shoves Kusum, causing her to fall. Just then, Mangal rushes in, catching her mother and glaring at Soumya. “How dare you!” Mangal exclaims, her voice filled with anger.
Scene 2
Elsewhere, Karthik confronts Lakshmi at home, upset. “I told you to stay with mom! Why do you never listen?” Lakshmi tries to explain, but Karthik is too frustrated to listen, leaving her standing there, feeling helpless.
Back at Soumya’s house, Mangal faces off with her. “How could you hurt my mother? Do you have no decency? You’ve insulted her and betrayed Adit, who trusted you!” She turns to Kusum and asks, “Amma, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Mangal had noticed Kusum heading to Soumya’s house but wasn’t aware of the full story. “You’ve caused so much pain to Lakshmi and Adit. How could you betray them like this when Adit thought of you as a friend?”
Soumya, standing firm, denies the accusations, saying, “You’re blaming me without any solid proof!” But Kusum steps in, “Oh, we have proof.”
Mangal adds, “Adit has always been there for you, and this is how you repay his kindness? He suffered because of you.” However, Soumya shows no remorse and says boldly, “I did nothing wrong. Now, get out of my house.”
Not backing down, Mangal demands, “Apologize to my mother right now. She is Adit’s mother, and I can send you to jail for this.” Kusum agrees, chiming in, “Yes, jail is where she belongs after everything she’s done.”
Soumya, growing bolder, retorts, “The truth will come out eventually, and I will expose everything.” Mangal, puzzled, asks, “What truth?” But Kusum, tired of the confrontation, says, “Let’s go. We don’t need to waste any more time on her.” As they leave, Mangal warns Soumya, “Stay away from my family!”
Outside, Mangal questions her mother, “Why did you go there alone? And what truth was Soumya talking about?” Dismissing the question, Kusum replies, “She’s not worth it. We won’t stoop to her level.” With that, Kusum heads to the temple to find some peace.
Scene 3
Meanwhile, Karthik makes a surprising decision to cancel his upcoming concert. Gayatri, shocked by his decision, asks, “Why would you cancel such an important event?” Karthik calmly explains, “Tomorrow is Lakshmi’s birthday, and I want to spend the day with her.”
Disappointed, Gayatri protests, “That’s not professional! You were just upset with her earlier, and now you’re calling off a concert for her birthday?” Karthik stands firm, saying, “Just because she made a mistake doesn’t mean I won’t celebrate her birthday. She’s still a wonderful person.”
Frustrated, Gayatri tries to reason with him, “Can’t you celebrate later? I’m sure she would understand. You’re risking your career over this!” But Karthik remains resolute, saying, “It’s just one day a year, and I want to make it special.” He walks away, leaving Gayatri exasperated.
Later, Mangal tells Lakshmi everything that happened with Soumya. Lakshmi, surprised, asks, “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Mangal explains, “I tried, but you weren’t home.” She adds, “Adit trusted Soumya so much, and I still don’t understand why she’s doing all of this.”
Lakshmi suggests, “Maybe we should go to the police.” Mangal responds, “I’ve already warned her, but I don’t want to drag Adit into this mess any further. I will, however, let him know the truth about Soumya.” Lakshmi, still unsure, says, “There has to be more to this. Soumya must have another motive.”
Later that day, Karthik surprises Mangal by covering her eyes from behind. Startled, she asks, “Who is it?” Karthik reveals himself with a laugh, saying, “It’s me! I want to plan something special for Lakshmi’s birthday. Let’s organize a surprise for her, but don’t tell her anything.”
Excited, Karthik starts preparing gifts, and soon Ishana joins in, saying, “We’re all getting ready for Lakshmi’s big day!”
At the same time, Adit, still feeling betrayed, watches everything from a distance, filled with anger. “Unbelievable,” he mutters. “She got me arrested, and now you’re all celebrating her birthday? Have you forgotten what she did to me?”
Mangal tries to explain, “Adit, it wasn’t Lakshmi’s fault. It was all Soumya’s doing.” But Adit, not willing to listen, declares, “I’m cutting all ties with her.” Mangal responds firmly, “If you’re cutting ties, do it with Soumya. She’s the one behind everything.”
