Mannat – Vikrant Faces an Unexpected Moment
Mannat arrives at the gurdwara for darshan. She prays saying the city has given her everything but has also taken so much away most of all Shruti. She never wanted to return but fate gave her no choice. Dhairya had told her something good would happen but she no longer believes in false hope. As Mannat prays Vikrant also steps forward to pray. Suddenly a cloth falls and covers both of them together. Mannat is reminded of their first meeting. Vikrant too senses her presence. Before either of them can see each other Mannat walks away.
Vikrant runs after her. Lightning strikes and he remembers how Mannat used to fear thunder. But she doesn’t draw back in fear this time making him doubt if it was really her yet something pulls him towards her.
Mannat stops an auto rickshaw. Just when her face is about to turn toward Vikrant a speeding car splashes mud all over her. Shocked Mannat tries to clean her face but doesn’t have a handkerchief. Vikrant steps forward and offers his. She senses a familiar fragrance and then notices the initial V embroidered on it.
Vikrant’s PA informs him that Arzoo was in the car and that he must meet her regarding the deal. Vikrant leaves. Mannat asks whose handkerchief it is and is told it belongs to the man who just left. Once again they miss seeing each other.

Dua asks him not to pick up the video call or Mannat will get suspicious. While they argue the call gets answered by accident.
Mannat questions dhariya why there is flour on his face and where Dua is. Dhairya lies. Dua then asks where she is and why she came without informing her. Mannat lies too saying she is in Delhi for important work and will return soon. Mannat almost reveals that she is in Mumbai but quickly corrects herself. She asks him to take care and ends the call.
Vikrant’s PA reminds him that they must speak to Arzoo about the deal soon. Vikrant instructs him to find every detail about her before finalising anything because sometimes partners turn out to be problematic.
