Mangal Lakshmi Episode Recap: Soumya’s Desperate Scheme (September 22, 2024)

Scene 1

Karthik encourages Lakshmi as they prepare for the big day, saying, “Come on, let’s get going.” Lakshmi expresses her concern, saying, “Adit chose this saree for Mangal from a shop near Chandni Chowk.” Karthik reassures her, “There are countless sarees like that available. Just focus on the wedding; I know you’ll look breathtaking.” With a smile, Lakshmi sets off.

In another part of the house, Shanti instructs Soumya to handle the decorations for the wedding. Soumya feels overwhelmed by the task. “Put up the roses; this is my daughter’s special day,” Shanti insists. She adds, “You’ll be sleeping in the hall with us tonight.” Later, as the household settles down for the night, Soumya quietly sneaks away to take Mangal’s wedding dress, whispering, “I’ll make sure Adit’s name is gone from your hands.” Mangal walks into the hall, sees her dress, and wonders aloud, “Who left this here?” Unbeknownst to her, Soumya has already captured photos of the dress.

Lakshmi calls Mangal to ask, “Where’s Soumya?” Mangal responds, “She’s resting in the hall.” Adit overhears this and questions why Kusum insists on keeping Soumya around. He discreetly invites Soumya outside for a private conversation. When they meet, Soumya snaps, “You just want me out of the picture so you can enjoy your wedding, right?” Just then, Lakshmi arrives, catching Adit off guard as he pretends to be on a work call. Shanti, waking up, asks Soumya, “Where did you go?” Soumya quickly responds, “I was in the bathroom.” Adit maintains his composure, telling Lakshmi, “I’ve got some work calls,” swiftly deleting his call history.

Scene 2

The following morning, Mangal is busy preparing for the wedding festivities, performing the arti surrounded by her family. Kusum and Shanti shower her with blessings. Lakshmi receives a video call from Lipika, and everyone joins in to wish Mangal a happy anniversary. Soumya playfully chimes in, “Will you give me some arti too?” At that moment, a delivery man arrives with a parcel, which Soumya claims, saying, “It’s mine.” When Shanti asks what’s inside, Soumya replies, “Just my clothes for the wedding.” Shanti insists, “Let us see it.”

Meanwhile, Adit is also getting ready for the ceremony. Akshar compliments him, saying, “You look like a hero.” Gayatri asks Lakshmi to assist in tying Adit’s turban. As she ties it, Adit asks, “What do you want as a Naig gift?” Lakshmi responds earnestly, “Promise me you’ll always make my sister happy. Be honest in this marriage and stand by her side through everything.” Adit confidently assures her, “I promise to uphold all seven vows.” As Karthik and Akshar begin to dance, Mangal tells Kusum, “Let’s hold off on seeing your dress for now.”
