The 9th October 2026 episode of Mannat splits between a mother's healing and a schemer's revenge. Samragi tells Ankit she wants Vikrant Saluja jailed for Manyata's murder, and Ankit agrees to frame him. By the final scene, Ankit has planted blood-stained evidence inside Vikrant's own home. This Mannat written update covers every scene of today's episode, including the heartbreaking moment Dua breaks ties with Dhairya and the upcoming twist the precap promises.

Samragi vows to send Vikrant to jail

Samragi tells Ankit she wants to see Vikrant behind bars for Manyata's murder. She blames Vikrant for her sister's death and refuses to let him live peacefully beside Mannat. Rage drives every word as she swears revenge on him.

Ankit agrees to frame Vikrant

Ankit asks Samragi directly whether she wants Vikrant framed for Manyata's death. She confirms it. He assures her that Vikrant will go to jail. His promise is calm and certain, and it seals the plan between them.

Dua smashes Dhairya's photograph

Meanwhile, Dua sits alone thinking about Dhairya. Her anger boils over and she breaks his photo in a fit of rage. The glass shatters across the floor as every good memory of her Baba turns bitter in her mind.

Mannat apologizes for hiding the truth

Mannat walks in and notices the broken frame. She wraps her arms around Dua and apologizes for keeping the truth from her. She admits she was wrong.

Mannat explains that she knows how deeply Dua loves her Baba. She never expected Dhairya to change after Vikrant entered their lives, but he did. He killed Neetu, and his actions separated Vikrant from them. Dhairya raised Dua since birth and made many sacrifices for them, which is why the truth hurts even more.

She tells Dua she hid everything because she did not want her daughter to suffer the same kind of pain she once endured. Aishwarya Rai Singh traumatized her once, and Vishaka Kumar used Vikrant for selfish reasons, and Mannat wanted to protect Dua from reliving any of it.

Dhairya begs for one last word with Dua

Dhairya calls Mallika and requests her to hand the phone to Dua. He wants to speak to her one final time. Mallika passes the phone over.

The moment Dua hears his voice, she disconnects the call. She shouts at Mallika and declares that she hates him. Mallika later explains to Mannat that she only helped Dhairya because she wants Dua to move on with her life. Dua clings to Mannat and cries.

Vikrant comforts Dua and lifts the mood

Vikrant steps in to console Dua. He tells her to accept the truth, move forward, and rise above the pain. Then he suggests they forget everything for a little while and celebrate Ganesh Visarjan together. His warmth works. Dua laughs for the first time in the episode, and the heavy mood finally breaks.

Ankit plants evidence against Vikrant

In the darkest scene of the episode, Ankit takes one of Vikrant's old shirts and stains it with Manyata's blood. He deliberately drops a button from that shirt near her dead body. Then he sneaks into Vikrant's house disguised as a dhobi, hides the blood-stained shirt inside, and quietly collects Vikrant's fingerprints before leaving unnoticed.

Precap: Mannat 10th October 2026

The precap confirms the worst. An inspector will arrest Vikrant Saluja for Manyata's murder. The precap hints that Ankit's planted evidence is about to do its job, and Vikrant has no idea the trap is already closing around him.

Review

This episode runs on two opposite currents, and both work. Mannat's apology to Dua is the emotional heart. Watching a mother own her mistake instead of defending it gives the Dhairya fallout real weight, and Dua breaking the photo makes her rejection of Dhairya feel permanent rather than theatrical.

The Ankit track is pure menace. The frame-up unfolds with cold precision, from the blood-stained shirt to the stolen fingerprints, and it lands because the episode never hurries it. Samragi's grief has curdled into something dangerous, and the coming arrest looks like a crisis Vikrant will not talk his way out of.

Ratings: 4.4/5
