The latest episode of Colors TV’s popular serial Mannat delivered a whirlwind of emotions, sharp confrontations, and heart-wrenching decisions. The storyline revolved around Vikrant’s controversial offer, Mannat’s moral dilemma, and Dua’s unexpected courage.
Vikrant’s Calculated Move
Right from the beginning, Vikrant tried to take advantage of the situation. He wanted to help with Neetu’s treatment but could not directly offer money because of Vishakha’s emotional manipulation. Instead, he disguised his intentions as a business deal. He reminded Mannat that Dua had hijacked his photoshoot and even threatened legal action. However, he cleverly proposed that Dua should participate in the cooking competition, now that she had become the face of Dawat Chef.
Mannat’s Emotional Outburst
Mannat was shocked. For her, Vikrant was no longer a son but a businessman standing with a deal in hand. She lashed out at him, questioning his humanity. Her words were sharp, filled with pain, as she reminded him that if she had a chance to save her mother, she would sacrifice her own life. Vikrant’s cold approach made her furious, especially when he ignored his own mother’s deteriorating condition.
Dua’s Brave Decision
The turning point came when Dua overheard the heated conversation. Despite being a child, she displayed remarkable maturity. She declared that she would participate in the competition to save her grandmother’s life. She even called Vikrant “mean and selfish,” a statement that stunned everyone. Mannat tried to stop her, but Dhairya intervened. He reminded Vikrant that the real favor had been done by Ronnie, who had handed over his entire property and business to Vikrant. Therefore, it was their duty to let Dua compete.
The emotional intensity escalated when Ronnie broke down in tears. His pain was unbearable, and his crying shook everyone in the room. Even Vikrant, who had been firm until then, could not hold back his emotions. He stood silently, watching the family united in grief, and tears rolled down his face.
Eventually, Dhairya persuaded Mannat to accept Vikrant’s offer for the sake of Ronnie and Neetu. Reluctantly, Mannat agreed but demanded an advance payment. Vikrant pretended to negotiate calmly, promising to release the money gradually. Deep inside, he felt relieved and happy that he could help Neetu. Yet, in Mannat’s eyes, he fell even lower. His manipulative tactics made her lose respect for him, despite his hidden intentions of support.
This episode highlighted the clash between business-minded pragmatism and emotional family values. Vikrant’s deal may have secured Neetu’s treatment, but it cost him his dignity in Mannat’s heart. On the other hand, Dua emerged as the true hero, ready to fight for her grandmother. The drama was intense, layered with emotions, and left viewers questioning whether Vikrant’s actions were selfish or secretly noble.
