Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai: Abhira impresses the Poddars by her cooking, rushes to deliver lunch to Armaan

The episode begins with Krish munching on candies from Dadi's box, reflecting on her wise words. Feeling lost and unsure of his skills, he regrets stealing the sweets, accepting his father's belief that he's a failure. Krish pretends to sleep when Sanjay enters, criticizing him for being worthless. Abhira, meanwhile, searches for breakfast but Dadi challenges her to cook it herself. Abhira, rushing for an internship, agrees to make breakfast the next day, but Dadi proposes a fast for the day. Armaan decides to go without breakfast, but Abhira steps up and promises to whip up something in five minutes. Despite skepticism, she presents wet poha, convincing everyone it's delicious.

Initially hesistant, the family loves Abhira's instant breakfast and heap praises on her. 

Impressed, Madhav praises Abhira's culinary skills, and the family enjoys the meal. Abhira, satisfied, prepares to leave. Dadi informs her that while she fed the family, her husband left for the office without eating. Abhira rushes to deliver lunch to her husband, while Ruhi decides to make sandwiches for Armaan.

In another subplot, Manish, desperate for Abhir's contact, resorts to negotiating with a manager. Eventually, he secures the number. Abhira, on her way to deliver the lunch, faces challenges, including a run-in with Ruhi. Despite the hurdles, she reaches Armaan, who appreciates her efforts.

However, Ruhi, when comes in and sees the tiffin in Armaan's hands, feels bad and states that she has come second as usual. 

In a parallel storyline, Suwarna and Surekha find Manish distressed and try to comfort him, realizing Akshu isn't taking his calls. Ruhi, concerned about Armaan, hurries to deliver the sandwiches. Abhira, driving an auto, navigates through the chaos to ensure her husband receives his lunch on time.
