Mismatched

Based on the young adult book by Indian-American author Sandhya Menon, MISMATCHED is a Netflix original series about a young woman who wants more than an arranged marriage, and a young man who dreams of finding the perfect wife. Seventeen-year-old Dimple Ahuja (played by social media star Prajakta Koli) wants to go to university, earn a Ph.D., create apps, and build a startup worth millions of dollars like her idol, Nandini Nahata. But her mother insists that she focus more on her looks and meeting suitable young men that she can marry in a few years. Meanwhile, the romantic 18-year-old Rishi Singh (Rohit Saraf) is letting his grandmother -- with the encouragement of his best friend Namrata (Devyani Shorey) -- use dating apps to meet a suitable girl that he can get to know, eventually marry, and live happily ever after with. After seeing Dimple's picture, Rishi enrolls in the same computer course she is taking in Jaipur to try to get to know her. Things don't work out as planned, but he soon finds himself becoming part of an eclectic summer cohort, including the edgy Celina (Muskkaan Jeferi), American-Indian Harsh (Vihaan Samat), and Zeenath Karim (Vidya Malvade), the oldest member of the class. While everyone else is competing to produce the best app in the class and land a coveted internship, both Dimple and Rishi are learning a lot about themselves, and each other.
