The Start
At its core, Mismatched is about two individuals, Rishi (Rohit Saraf) and Dimple (Prajakta Koli), who couldn’t be more different. Rishi is the perfect old-school romantic, searching for his “happily ever after,” while Dimple is a feisty coder driven by her dream of developing apps and breaking glass ceilings in the tech world. They meet at the Aravali Institute in Jaipur, where they’ve been enrolled in a tech course. Spoiler alert: things don’t go as planned.
From the start, Rishi’s intention was clear — he believed Dimple was “the one.” But Dimple had other priorities, and romance wasn’t one of them. Cue drama, fights, and emotional misunderstandings as their worlds collide.

But her personal and professional crises aren’t the only issues at hand.
On the romantic front, Dimple’s relationship with Harsh grows, and they even share a brief fling as they try to figure out their feelings.

But things take an even darker turn when it’s revealed that the app’s code was stolen and sold to a third party. The shocking truth comes out when Namrata reveals that Celine betrayed Dimple. Celine was blackmailed by Krish and Simran, who threatened to reveal her secret life as a food delivery girl unless she stole the code. They promised her 25,000 rupees in exchange for the app code, which would help her pay her hostel fees. This betrayal leaves Dimple heartbroken and furious, ultimately ending her friendship with Celine.
As for the love triangle, Dimple realizes she still has strong feelings for Rishi.
