In the latest episode of the drama series Mannat, emotions run high as Vikrant begins to realize the gravity of what Aishwarya has endured. The episode unfolds with intense confrontations, emotional manipulation, and a surprising intervention by Gagan that shifts the entire dynamic.
Vikrant Feels Guilty Over Aishwarya’s Sacrifice
Vikrant arrives to meet Aishwarya, burdened with guilt. He believes she was pressured into signing over the hosting rights to Mannat. According to him, she didn’t act out of free will but out of compulsion. He sincerely apologizes, acknowledging that she had to suffer because of him.
He tells her, “I know you were under pressure. It wasn’t your fault. I’m sorry you had to go through all this because of me.” His words reflect genuine remorse, and for a moment, it seems like he wants to make things right.
Aishwarya Plays The Victim Card
However, Aishwarya doesn’t miss the opportunity to play the victim. She dramatically accepts the blame, saying she shouldn’t have signed the papers or transferred the shares to Mannat. She admits she made a mistake by taking such a big decision without consulting anyone.
Still, Vikrant refuses to let her take the blame. He insists that she was placed in a difficult position and did what seemed right at the time. His empathy is clear, but the situation is far from resolved.
Gagan Interrupts with harsh dose of Reality
Just then, Gagan enters the scene. He indirectly shows his support for Mannat and quickly redirects the conversation. He tells Vikrant to stop dwelling on the past. “What’s done is done,” he says. “You’re married to Mallika now. And I know how hard it is to live in a marriage without love.”
His words are not just for Vikrant—they’re also aimed at Aishwarya. Gagan makes it clear that moving forward is the only option. He emphasizes that now that the marriage has happened, both Vikrant and Mallika must make it work.
Gagan goes a step further. He reminds everyone that Mannat is the same age as his daughter. He urges them to consider her point of view. According to him, Aishwarya acted selfishly in the name of motherly love. She forced Mannat into a situation that wasn’t fair to her.
This statement hits hard. It exposes Aishwarya’s manipulation and reframes the entire situation. Gagan’s words suggest that Aishwarya’s actions, though rooted in love, were ultimately damaging.
Aishwarya’s Anger Boils Over
As Vikrant leaves, Aishwarya’s frustration explodes. She’s furious that Gagan interrupted her conversation with Vikrant. More than that, she’s angry that he exposed her motives in front of Vikrant. She didn’t want anyone to know that she used her daughter’s love life to serve her own emotional agenda.
