Mismatched: Prajakta Koli & Rohit Saraf’s Netflix Series Debut Is Heartwarming

Prajakta Koli has come a long way from YouTube and has made her Netflix series debut titled ‘Mismatched’ with debutant Rohit Saraf.

Mismatched premiered on Netflix on the 20th of November and it is created by Akarsh Khurana.

Throughout the ‘Mismatched’ journey, Prajakta and Rohit have become best friends. Rishi and Dimple, the characters of the two actors, are against each other in an app-developer competition at a summer program. While Dimple is a technology bee and wants to make an empowering woman out of herself, Rohit is the opposite as he focusses on finding the perfect girl to settle down with. Throughout the course of the series, the pair find their paths drifting from friendship to romance.

As per The Hindu, Rohit confesses to being a hopeless romantic which is why he says he can relate to his character in many levels. “Honestly, none of us thought about it like that. It does give off that vibe because we haven’t seen too many films or shows of its ilk in India before, but we weren’t trying to mimic any Hollywood movie for sure.

Prajakta on the other hand talks about ‘Dimple saying, She’s very driven to achieve her goal; if she doesn’t, her parents will get her married! Isn’t that relatable to so many girls —and boys — across the country? I have so many cousins in my family who are dealing with this dilemma. That’s why Dimple is so tough to crack; she doesn’t let her guard down at all, and even gives this guy such a hard time. In real life, I’m not that way though… have you seen Rohit on screen? He’s impossible to resist.”

“It was the first time Prajakta was getting into the acting space, so it was a different experience for her. But I already knew some of them from earlier auditions et al, and when we all met, the collective high from being part of a Netflix show kept us excited throughout. The first reading itself was brilliant — when we got to Jodhpur to shoot, I was banking on the fact that my gang was there to have my back,” Rohit states.

Prajakta too shared her excitement as she mentioned that Rohit made sure to break the ice. He told me he was following me on Instagram and seeing me running around, and hoped that I was getting enough rest before we started the show. It was so sweet, and I was wondering why I hadn’t thought about getting in touch first. After I met him, he introduced me to everyone else, and was just super helpful and caring. I felt really welcome. Just take me back to the Mismatched sets already!

While Saraf was last seen in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Ludo’, Koli will be seen in Jug Jug Jiyo, her Bollywood debut.
