In the Mangal Lakshmi 28th February 2025 episode, Tensions soar as Sowmya accuses Mangal, leading to heated confrontations. Adit grows suspicious, while Kusum pressures Shanti for the truth. Meanwhile, Jia’s sinister plot endangers Lakshmi, as Raghuveer confronts Gayatri over her actions.
As Adit questions Sowmya about being locked in the room, she confirms and accuses Mangal of being responsible. Shanti jumps to Mangal’s defense, sparking a heated argument that escalates when Sowmya angrily shoves her. Mangal intervenes, urging Sowmya to respect her mother. The commotion unsettles the guests, leading them to leave, including the pandit.
Shanti attributes Sowmya’s behavior to the effects of thandai, while Kusum scolds her for creating unnecessary drama. Enraged, Sowmya confronts Mangal, accusing her of pretending to be Adit’s wife. Meanwhile, Niketan updates his mother on the growing rift between Adit and Sowmya. Suddenly, a vase shatters, and as Adit moves toward the sound in his wheelchair, someone abruptly shuts the door, nearly causing him to fall. Mangal rushes to help, but Sowmya forcefully pushes her aside, insisting that she alone has the right to care for Adit. To everyone’s astonishment, this tense moment triggers Mangal’s lost voice, filling the room with surprise and delight.
Adit grows suspicious, sensing an unknown presence in the room. However, Sudhesh dismisses it as nothing more than the wind. Furious, Adit scolds Sowmya, but she fabricates a story, claiming she fasted for him and was unfairly locked away. Meanwhile, Kusum confronts Shanti, suspecting her involvement, and pressures her to confess. Though Shanti admits her actions, she defends her decision, and after some hesitation, Kusum agrees to let the matter go.
Reassuring Sowmya, Adit promises to reveal the truth about their relationship when the time is right. Mangal, meanwhile, is rattled by Sowmya’s taunts as she focuses on an upcoming competition. Kusum seeks Ishana’s help, but Ishana refuses. The next morning, Kusum finds papers scattered across the room and questions Mangal, who reveals she hadn’t slept all night. Sowmya arrives, ridiculing her and predicting her failure in the competition.
During the event, Mangal hesitates when the judges ask her product’s name. Unbeknownst to her, Niketan informs the organizers of her struggle, hoping to stir controversy.
In another part of the house, Karthik prepares to see his reflection, but the power suddenly cuts out. As he steps out for a ride, Gayatri arrives. Meanwhile, Jia and Gayatri reprimand Lakshmi, who insists she is only following the doctor’s advice to help Karthik regain his memory. Furious, Gayatri accuses Lakshmi of trying to erase her presence and throws her out of the house. Lakshmi stumbles, hitting her head against a flowerpot and losing consciousness.
Jia watches coldly, remarking that Lakshmi’s fate is already sealed—soon, she will be the rightful daughter-in-law of the house. As Karthik returns, Jia quickly hides Lakshmi beneath a pile of dry leaves and diverts his attention. Unaware of the danger, a worker nearby prepares to set the pile on fire.
Meanwhile, Raghuveer, on a call with Sanjana, discovers the truth and confronts Gayatri. He warns her that if anything happens to Lakshmi, he will reveal everything to Karthik. Gayatri remains defiant, but Raghuveer refuses to back down. Oblivious to the looming threat, the worker continues searching for matches…
