Mangal Lakshmi 21st July 2025 Written Episode Update: Mangal Gets to Know Ishana's Involvement? While Lakshmi Is in a Mental Asylum!

Today's episode starts with Mangal searching for any clue, and after searching a lot, she finds a bracelet. It is the same bracelet that she gifted to Ishana. She wonders, How come this is here? She gets confused and recalls how she thought Ishana was outside that day, but she was told she was at home.

Mangal reaches home, but her mind is still thinking about Ishana, and she straight up goes to her room and asks her about the bracelet. Ishana lies. She again asks about it, and Ishana says she will find it tomorrow. Ishana finds the bracelet, shocking Mangal. It turns out Ishana already saw this coming and prepared for it beforehand. With the help of Saumya, she got a duplicate bracelet just like the original. While Ishana thinks that Mangal came to punish her, Saumya saved her.

Mangal still doesn't look convinced and asks if she is hiding something from her. Saying she looks worried, Ishana gets irritated, saying, Why would she do wrong? Mangal says she is just concerned about her; that's why she is asking. Ishana dismisses her, saying she is just overthinking. Mangal still feels she is hiding something and decides to find it.

The next morning at the breakfast table, Ishana looks lost. Pandey ji from the office has come; he has brought loading area footage with him on a pen drive. Mangal gets excited, saying CCTV recordings have been found, and now they will find who kept the packets in the truck. Ishana's behavior suddenly changes; Adit and Mangal notice that. While Ishana thinks, what to do? Saumya is also not at home. She wonders who will save her.

While Mangal sits down to watch the footage, Ishana, to stop Mangal, throws a ball at a mirror in her room to distract Mangal. As predicted, Mangal goes to her room to check, and in the meantime, Ishana goes to Mangal's room and thinks of ways to destroy or corrupt the pen drive, and she applies moisturizer to it so that it stops functioning and even puts it in water, and she escapes just in time as Mangal comes, and when Mangal opens the pen drive, it shows as corrupt.

While Adit is home, and he is sure that Kapil is behind this, Mangal says she has found the evidence. She shows him a pen drive that is not working. Mangal says Ishana has done this.

Elsewhere Lakshmi is following Karti's car, but she fails, and mental asylum staff again takes her back to the vehicle. They reach the hospital, and she tries to speak, but she can't get her voice properly. She says she is not Antra, she is Lakshmi, and she asks her to trust her, but they take her inside and lock her in a room with other patients. Lakshmi thinks a big game has been played with her; she prays for Kartik to save her.

While Sanjana tells Lakshmi that Jia and Kartik are scheduled to marry and to stop that, Sanjana suggests Lakshmi kidnap Jia, but it turns out it is Antara, and she hits Sanjana on the head with a vase, injuring her badly, and hides her under the carpet as she hears Kartik's voice, who says he will help her in stopping the marriage. He says they will have to leave; otherwise, he will have to marry. Lakshmi is acting weirdly as she says they will stay and fight with Jia. Kartik senses that something is wrong.

While at the mental asylum, Lakshmi pleads to free her. Jia comes there and tortures her more. Lakshmi says she won't be able to do anything, and once Kartik gets to know the truth, he will come looking for her. Jia says she is already with him, so why will he come for her? Lakshmi realizes.

Jia is back home and sees that Antara has attacked Sanjna. She gets angry at her, while Antara even attacks Jia, saying she wants to meet her daughter; otherwise, she will kill everyone. Jia calms her and asks her to leave, saying she will handle the mess. Jia locks Sanjana's body in the storeroom.

While Lakshmi smartly takes one of the staff's phones, it is her last hope to inform Kartik about the truth. While Jia goes to Kartik's room and asks him as he has thrown the sherwani on the bed, she asks if he has a problem with marriage. Kartik lies, saying they love each other, but their wedding is happening normally. He wanted a grand wedding. He suggests they should take time and then marry. Jia dismisses the thought, saying they both are together, and after marriage, they can throw a grand party. Once Jia leaves the room, Kartik has so much anger that he couldn't help but cry.

While Sanjna regains consciousness, she thinks, why did Lakshmi hit her? And what daughter was she talking about? Sanjna sees the door is locked as she wanted to go tell Kartik. While Lakshmi calls Kartik, Antara picks up, and Antara keeps on repeating that she doesn't want to get away from her daughter.
