Sowmya’s Plan Fails as Mangal Helps Adit, Kapil Stops Gift Chaos:
In the Mangal Lakshmi 5 May 2025 Written Update, the episode starts with a heated talk between Sowmya and Adit. Sowmya is upset and asks why Adit is working under Mangal. She says she takes care of the house, the kids’ studies, and gives him money every month. Adit feels hurt. He says he doesn’t want her money. He wants to start his own business and not feel like a failure. He took the job with Mangal because no one else would invest in his ideas. Sowmya gets angry and says she might have spoken in anger, but he must quit the job. Adit refuses. He explains he signed a contract, and breaking it would cost a lot of money they don’t have. He says Mangal is only guiding him for his startup, and she means nothing to him since they are divorced. Sowmya is furious and thinks to herself that she hates Mangal and will make Adit quit. She pushes a table in anger.
Later, Adit is on a call, promising to reach a meeting on time. Sowmya brings him tea and wants to talk about their fight. Adit asks if she’s trying to make excuses. Sowmya says she’s sorry and feels ashamed. She admits she got scared because Adit is working with Mangal. She felt he might leave her. She says she trusts him and doesn’t want to doubt him. Adit is happy to hear this. He says her trust is all he needs. He promises he’ll never do anything wrong and tells her not to worry about Mangal. He says, “I love you,” and hugs her. Sowmya smiles and tells him to hurry to the office so Mangal doesn’t scold him for being late. Adit agrees to meet her later and leaves.
As Adit gets ready to drive, he finds his car tyre is flat. He checks for the spare tyre, but it’s gone. He’s confused. Meanwhile, Sowmya watches from a distance. She remembers how she punctured the tyre and hid the spare. She smirks, thinking Adit will lose his job since he didn’t listen to her. Adit tries to book a cab but fails. He looks for a lift. Just then, Mangal drives by and offers him a ride. Adit accepts, unaware of Sowmya’s plan.
In another scene, Pratima talks to Kusum on the phone. She complains that her son Kapil is always busy with work. She wants to arrange his marriage. Kusum asks if Kapil knows. Pratima says she’s worried about his reaction. She might get scared if he gets angry or stops talking to her. But she’s determined to find a good girl for him. She says she’s trying to know the girl’s feelings to move forward. Kusum supports her. Pratima hopes Kapil understands. As she hangs up, Kapil walks in and overhears. He asks what mission she’s talking about and if she spoke to Mangal. Pratima admits she sent Mangal a gift on his behalf—a ring and a letter. Kapil is shocked. He reminds her that Mangal returned her last gift. He says Mangal is only his business partner, and their relationship is strictly professional. Pratima insists it’s a small gift. Kapil is worried and asks what she wrote in the letter. Pratima says she wrote about his feelings. Kapil panics, saying this could cause a big problem if Mangal reads it. Pratima believes she did the right thing and says he’ll thank her later. Kapil is upset and says she crossed a line.
Kapil calls Jeetu and asks where Mangal’s gifts are kept. Jeetu says they’re in her cabin. Meanwhile, Mangal enters her office cabin and sees many gifts. She smiles, thinking how happy her children would be to see them. Suddenly, her son Akshat surprises her. Mangal is thrilled and asks how he came. Akshat says it’s a school holiday, and he came with his friend’s father, who works in the office. Mangal is overjoyed to see him.
Back at home, Sowmya calls Adit and learns he reached the office on time because Mangal gave him a lift. She’s annoyed that her plan failed. Kusum tells a worker to make Adit’s favorite dish for his tiffin since he forgot it. She plans to deliver it to his office.
In Mangal’s cabin, Akshat asks if he can open her birthday gifts. Mangal agrees. Akshat opens one and finds a gift from Kapil. He tells Mangal about it. Mangal is surprised. Akshat says he has a friend named Kapil, who visited his school. Mangal realizes it’s the same Kapil from her office. She tells Akshat that Kapil is her boss. Akshat shares how Kapil sent a cake for his birthday, which helped Mangal find him. As they’re about to open Kapil’s gift, Kapil rushes in and stops them. Akshat is excited to see his friend and says they were opening his gift. Mangal thinks to herself that she hasn’t told Kapil about her past or her son. She wonders if it’s time to share.
Review
This episode of Mangal Lakshmi is full of drama and emotions. The fight between Sowmya and Adit shows their love and trust but also Sowmya’s insecurity about Mangal.

The cliffhanger with Kapil stopping the gift-opening leaves you curious about what happens next.
Next Episode Prediction
In the next episode, Kapil might explain why he stopped Mangal and Akshat from opening the gift. This could lead to an awkward talk about the letter Pratima wrote, causing a misunderstanding. Mangal may share her past with Kapil, strengthening their professional bond. Meanwhile, Sowmya might plan something bigger to separate Adit from Mangal, possibly confronting her directly. Adit could face trouble at work due to Sowmya’s actions, testing his patience. Pratima might push Kapil further about marriage, leading to a funny or emotional moment. Akshat’s presence in the office could bring more surprises, maybe revealing something about Mangal’s life that changes how others see her.
