From secret revenge missions and identity reveals to emotional collapses and verbal duels, three shows are setting up a week of high-stakes drama and long-overdue truths. Mannat’s revenge game is far from over, Abhira is this close to the biggest revelation of her life, and Anupamaa might just be pushed to the edge of her final breakdown.
Mannat: Payback, Poison, and a Plot in Motion
In Mannat: Har Khushi Paane Ki, the revenge chapter is far from over. The episode opens with Mannat and Shalini tying up Aishwarya, literally and figuratively, before making a stealthy getaway. Mannat casually drops a freezer trauma bombshell—Aishwarya once locked her in one. So naturally, tying her to a chair for ten minutes is just poetic justice, not torture.
Meanwhile, the ever-dazed Vikrant is on Mannat’s trail, stumbling through scenes like a sleepy bloodhound. Mannat insists Shalini vanish from the scene to keep suspicion at bay. Shortly after, Ravinder swoops in to rescue the bound and furious Aishwarya, who berates him for his delayed heroics. Ravinder, the poor guy, claims he didn’t hear her screams. Aishwarya demands he snoop around for more culprits.
Elsewhere, Mannat flips open her diary like it’s a Netflix checklist—Task 1: Torture Aishwarya.
Vikrant and Mannat run into each other, and he confronts her despite being high on something sketchy—possibly thanks to Mommy Dearest, Neetu. When Chachi comes out to investigate a noise, Mannat hides like a pro while holding a groggy Vikrant’s mouth shut like it’s a silent thriller.
Ravinder texts her, prompting her to dash back to the Salooja mansion before Aishwarya does. She makes it home in time to fake sleep like a champ, throwing Aishwarya off her scent. Aishwarya starts thinking someone else might be her blackmailer, and when she discovers Gagan’s old keypad phone (yes, people still own those), her fears get a name.
Back to Neetu, the queen of shady parenting, who slams Mannat for Vikrant’s condition. Mannat hits back harder, revealing she’s been ditching the drugged juice and trying to protect Vikrant. She drops the bomb that Neetu might be the villain in this twisted fairy tale. She reminds Neetu that she doesn’t see Vikrant as just a boss—he’s Babaji’s chosen one.
Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Maira’s Secret on the Edge of Exposure
In tonight’s Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Abhira takes a maternal leap by stepping up for Maira. When Maira’s dance costume drama hits, Abhira politely ropes in Vidya to stitch a new outfit and even hands over anklet bells originally meant for Pookie. That’s love…and major foreshadowing.
Meanwhile, Armaan prays for Maira’s return at the temple, only to see her with Abhira. His panic hits full throttle—what if Maira blurts out the truth? Worse, what if Abhira pieces it all together? His anxiety spawns a daydream sequence where Abhira claims her daughter back, and Armaan is left grasping at silence.
Back in reality, Maira chats about her lehenga being paid for by her “father,” prompting Abhira to gently remind her not to speak of money. Armaan, watching from the sidelines, is emotionally scrambled as Maira finds warmth not just in Abhira, but in Kaveri and Vidya too.
In a heartfelt moment, Maira prays not for herself but for Abhira’s happiness and wishes to return with her father to meet everyone again. Cue tears, blessings, and emotional gut punches. Before leaving for her dance event, Maira kisses her trio of caregivers goodbye, leaving memories and mild identity crises behind.
While Armaan is still trying to solve his self-inflicted web of lies, Geetanjali starts snooping. Armaan lies, and says he will bring Maira back—but she’s already gone with Abhira. Panic mode activated.
Precap spoiler: Maira celebrates Father’s Day. Kaveri connects the dots—Maira is Pookie. She tells Abhira, and boom: the truth train is coming in fast.
Anupamaa: Broken Hearts, Bitter Accusations, and a Door Slam Ahead
Over in Anupamaa, things go from festive to flaming in under 30 minutes. Rahi runs into Mahi, and the Vat Savitri fast becomes an emotional minefield. Khyati loses it, accusing Rahi and Pari of flaunting their looks just to spite Mahi. Meeta plays peacemaker, saying everyone’s fasting and dressed up. Mahi, full of hurt, accuses Rahi and Anupama of stealing her happiness.
Rahi, stung by Mahi’s meltdown, chooses to stay behind while the others leave for the temple. Meanwhile, Anupamaa, alone amidst the ritual crowd, has an emotional breakdown missing Anuj. When Nilesh faints during the fast, Anupamaa jumps into action, drawing on memories of Aryan and Mahi to save him. His wife hugs her in gratitude—one woman to another.
On the romantic side of things, Rahi and Prem confess love post-fast. Elsewhere, Pari roasts Raja for getting acidity, sparking a playful fight that ends with Rahi teasing they’re an adorable duo. Meanwhile, Mahi lurks like a ghost, watching them with silent envy. Prem encourages Rahi to chase her dreams again, but guilt eats her up—she thinks she and Anupama have ruined her future.
And just when you think we’ve hit emotional saturation, Jaspreet explodes. Her biscuit tin is empty (yes, biscuits), and she accuses Anupama of touching her stuff. Bharti steps in but Jaspreet, already boiling from work stress, lashes out and demands to know if Anupama’s been secretly working.
Leela nearly finds out about Prarthana’s pregnancy, but Kinjal saves the day with a classic distraction manoeuvre. Later, Bharti comforts Anupama, who breaks down over the past and her collapsing present.
Precap spoiler: The landlord announces a rent hike. Jaspreet presses Anupama to admit she’s working. When she says she’s not, Jaspreet tells her to leave the house. Homelessness is back on the menu.
