In today’s episode of Mannat, the drama intensifies as Vikrant finally confronts the painful truth about his identity. The episode opens with Vikrant demanding Shruthi to answer one burning question—who is his real mother, Neetu or Vishaka? Shruthi gently tells him to listen to his heart, but Vikrant wants answers from his parents.
When Roni suggests they speak privately, Aishwarya signals Vishaka to stop them. Vishaka immediately objects, claiming she will not let anyone take Aman—Vikrant—away from her. In the heat of the moment, she pushes Neetu. This pushes Vikrant over the edge, and he angrily shouts at Vishaka. She apologizes, trying to calm him.
Mallika jumps in to defend Vishaka and taunts Vikrant for disrespecting her. Irritated, he warns Mallika to stay out of it. Turning back to Vishaka, Vikrant questions why she claimed to be his surrogate mother and Roni’s sister. After a tense silence, Vishaka finally admits she lied. She explains that she was shocked when Vikrant reentered her life and fabricated the story just to stay close to him. She insists she never meant harm and only wanted him back.
As Mannat steps forward to explain, Vikrant stops her. Dhairya asks her to let the truth unfold. Vishaka accuses Roni and Neetu of ruining her life, saying they humiliated her and left her helpless. She wanted to confess everything to Mannat because she knew Mannat loved him. But according to Vishaka, Mannat stopped her.
Vikrant refuses to believe this. He confidently states that Mannat loves him deeply and would never hide such a big truth. If she knew anything about his past, she would have told him. But Mannat breaks down and apologizes—she admits she already knew the truth.
Gagan demands to know why she didn’t reveal it earlier. Mannat explains she wanted Roni and Neetu to confess themselves. She didn’t want Vikrant to hear only half the truth and get manipulated by Vishaka’s false claims. She insists Vishaka only gave birth to him, but the rest of her story is twisted.
Vishaka strikes back with another accusation: she claims Neetu caused a fatal accident and that Vikrant’s father died because of her. She also accuses Roni of closing the case with money. Hearing this, Vikrant gets flashes of his past and becomes anxious.
She tells Vikrant that Dhairya also knows the truth because he is actually Vikrant’s elder brother. This shocks everyone. As Mannat tries to calm Vikrant, he grows more confused and demands answers.
Mannat insists Vikrant is his real name. But he asks why he remembers the name Aman. Dhairya finally reveals he was the one who named him Aman in the past. Keerath adds that this is why Mannat earlier said Dhairya is part of the family.
When Dhairya tries to explain further, Vikrant loses control again. He questions Neetu for hiding his real family from him. Vishaka adds fuel to the fire by claiming Neetu gave him the wrong medicine to erase his memories. She claims Neetu’s intentions may be protective, but Mannat’s intention was to hide the truth.
Aishwarya is thrilled, believing Mannat and the Saluja family have finally lost. Mallika sides with Vishaka and claims Mannat prevented them from revealing the truth. Vishaka goes even further, stating that Mannat tried to manipulate both Dhairya and Vikrant and caused a rift between a mother and son.
The episode ends on this explosive note.
