When a woman decides to be happy, she takes charge of her life and that’s exactly what Mangal (played by Deepika Singh) is doing. In COLORS’ ‘Mangal Lakshmi’, she now stands at a turning point, choosing to leave behind the shadows of her broken marriage with Adit (played by Naman Shaw) and stepping boldly into a new beginning with Kapil (played by Kapil Nirmal). Despite the heartbreak, Mangal refuses to be chained to her past. Instead, she’s daring to start a brand-new chapter, one where she gracefully balances co-parenting with her ex-husband Adit while stepping into a promising new life with Kapil. It’s this rare mix of strength and vulnerability, of letting go yet holding on to what truly matters, that has gripped audiences. Viewers are not just watching her journey, they’re rooting for her, celebrating her courage, her unshakable positivity, and her bold decision to claim happiness on her own terms.
On screen, Mangal has always been a woman who refuses to be silenced, and now, her decision to remarry marks one of the boldest steps in her journey. For many women, taking that step a second time isn’t easy, society often treats divorce like a stain, one that weighs far heavier on women than on men. Mangal’s choice to marry Kapil isn’t just about moving forward in her personal life, it’s also about breaking the stigma, and showing that a woman has every right to rebuild her world. She can love again and be respected for it. Her story becomes a mirror for countless women who are told to adjust or compromise, reminding them that true strength lies in choosing happiness for oneself despite the whispers of society.
Sharing her thoughts on the track, Deepika Singh says, “Playing Mangal has been very close to my heart because, in many ways, I relate to her. Just like Mangal, I am also a mother, a wife, and someone who is balancing her personal life with her career. I know how challenging it can be to wear so many hats, but at the same time, it’s deeply fulfilling. What I love about Mangal is that she doesn’t let her past define her, she chooses to move forward, to embrace new beginnings with Kapil, and remain a strong mother for her children. That is so inspiring, not just as a character, but even for me personally. Through her, I want women to know that it’s okay to start again, to follow your heart, and to take charge of your own happiness without guilt. Mangal is not just an on-screen character ; she’s showing every woman that they can thrive, no matter what life throws at them.”
