Mangal Lakshmi 14th November 2024 Written Update on TellyExpress.com
The episode starts with Mangal coming to Kusum to do her head massage, but Kusum accidentally knocks it away. Mangal asks Kusum if her hand is burnt from the hot oil, but Kusum tells Mangal to stop pretending to care for her. She accuses Mangal of being the one who hurts them yet now acts as if she cares.
Kusum then questions Mangal about why she took up a job as a halwai (sweet maker) without informing anyone. Mangal replies that she wanted to tell Kusum but feared it would upset her. Kusum asks Mangal why she took the job if she knew it would hurt them, reminding Mangal that they had told her they could live comfortably on Sudesh’s pension. Yet, Mangal didn’t consider asking for their help at all. Adit overhears their conversation while Sowmya, in another room, manipulates video footage, thinking that once everyone sees the video, they will stop questioning Mangal.
Mangal explains to Kusum that she had to go out to work due to forced circumstances. Adit, hearing this, steps in and asks Mangal about these circumstances, making a snide comment.
Sowmya then appears and tells Adit and Kusum that Mangal is hiding a big secret from them. She claims Mangal wants to leave the house and shows a video of Mangal asking Shanti if she could stay at her place for a few days. Mangal tries to explain to Kusum that the video is not what it appears to be, but Kusum accuses Mangal of wanting to leave the house. Sensing an opportunity, Adit tries to turn Kusum against Mangal and criticizes her, with Sowmya joining in.
Mangal then confronts Adit, accusing him of forcing her to take up this job. She reminds Adit that he was the one who blocked her bank card, which she used to manage the household finances. Mangal explains that when she needed to buy medicine for Sudesh, she had no money, and that Adit didn’t even pay for Akshat and Ishana’s school fees. Sowmya, surprised that Mangal spoke up, watches from afar. Mangal explains that this was the reason she had to work and then questions Adit on why he didn’t pay the school fees.
Sowmya asks Mangal why she didn’t ask Adit for money, pointing out that she has been using his money for the last 15 years. Mangal responds, saying that she was Adit’s wife back then and had that right, but not anymore. Adit blames Mangal for not asking him for money when she was in need.
Kusum leaves the room and returns with Adit’s old toys and belongings. She reminds Adit that they never counted the expenses they spent on him. She asks Sudesh to bring the household expense book to tally everything. Sudesh remarks that Adit is unworthy since he can’t even pay for her milk, lamenting that their upbringing has failed. Adit, feeling ashamed, leaves, with Sowmya following him.
Mangal then tells Kusum that she has to work outside, and Kusum and Sudesh support her decision.
Episode ends.
