Mangal Lakshmi Spoilers | Latest Gossip | Upcoming Twist | Future Story
The latest episode of Mangal Lakshmii opens with high emotional drama as Mangal walks into the hall with her luggage, urging Ishana to get ready because they need to shift to their new house. But Ishana refuses, saying she wants to stay with her dad and Dadi. She feels exhausted and frustrated with all the changes around her.
Adit immediately supports Ishana, insisting that she will stay right there. Neel arrives at the same moment. When Mangal tries talking to him, Adit again interferes, saying Neel too will not go with her. Neel adds that he has come from the basti once—and he has no intention of going back to that lifestyle again. Adit concludes that Neel will stay in this house with his family.
Then comes a glimmer of hope. Akshat arrives and firmly holds Mangal’s hand, promising he will stay with her. Mangal feels relieved and emotional. She tells everyone that she won’t force her children to come with her. Whenever they miss her, her home will always be open. With that, she walks out with Akshat.
Meanwhile, Sowmya consoles Neel, reminding him he still has his choti mom. She secretly vows that after separating Ishana and Neel from Mangal, she will soon bring Akshat back too—leaving Mangal completely alone.
Mangal Rebuilds Her Life With Akshat
Akshat admits he is exhausted, so Mangal suggests they prepare laddoos together to offer to God. While making them, he asks why Ishana didn’t come. Mangal gently explains that Ishana will return when she misses them, so he must not overthink.
After offering the laddoos, Mangal sits down to read the newspaper—and gets a shocking blow. The report claims that Pehla Swad food packets have made several children ill. The news mentions raids by food officers, mothers protesting, and over 100 kids falling sick. Even worse, the brand may shut down.
Before she can process this disaster, she hears the doorbell. Several Pehla Swad employees arrive, saying they got her address from her mother.
They reveal the horrifying truth: the negative news is real. Kapil has stopped paying attention to the brand, and the company may be sold. They also show her a food competition poster saying that anyone who can match Pehla Swad’s taste can take over the company.
The workers plead with Mangal to participate and save the brand she once built with love. Akshat encourages her too. Mangal finally agrees and promises to fight for Pehla Swad. They remind her that registrations are scheduled for the very next day.
Mangal vs. Sowmya – The Competition Begins
The next morning, Mangal arrives at the competition venue for registration. Shanti cheers her up, telling her she has the strength to win.
Just then, Sowmya enters. Shanti questions why she follows Mangal everywhere. Neel also arrives with her, saying Dadi asked him to accompany Sowmya.
Sowmya taunts Mangal, commenting that it feels strange to see her compete for her own brand. She even adds that she came only to learn, but if Mangal wants, she can step back. Mangal calmly replies that it’s an open competition and the deserving candidate will win. Both complete their registrations.
Sowmya smirks, saying destiny has once again put them against each other. But Mangal shuts her down, saying she doesn’t care about competitors—only her victory matters.
Neel’s Admission Trouble Adds to Mangal’s Stress
Kusum, assuming Sowmya is home, prepares gondh laddoos for her. But she is shocked to find Mangal instead. Mangal questions why she sent Neel with Sowmya when he should focus on his studies. Kusum looks confused as she had no idea about the competition.
Later, Mangal takes Neel to get him admitted to Ishana and Akshat’s school. The principal asks for some documents and begins the verification process. But after reviewing everything, the principal unexpectedly refuses Neel’s admission. Mangal is stunned and helpless.
