Mismatched Season 2 Story Summary
Everything started to go downhill from the night of the ‘League of Legends’ championship. A crushed Dimple seeks solace in the arms of Harsh after her breakup with Rishi. Getting carried away in the moment, Dimple kisses Harsh, and Harsh obliges.
The next morning, Dimple and Rishi are still dealing with the previous night’s consequences. While Dimple hesitantly confronts Harsh about the kiss, Rishi attempts to sort things out with Namrata. Both Dimple and Harsh decide to put the previous night behind them and never speak of it again. This is until they realize that the “bahubullies” caught them making out.
Meanwhile, at Rishi’s house, his grandmother’s birthday party is disturbed when his mother informs him of her decision to marry again. Namrata, who is also present at the party is still not talking to Rishi because he betrayed her trust. But being close family friends, he is one day called to Namrata’s house at her father’s request.
Namrata’s father found a drawing of two female cartoons, who resemble Namrata and her crush Celina kissing. Angry at this discovery, he is suspicious of his daughter’s sexuality and calls Rishi to provide him with answers. Rishi lies to him, assuring him that Namrata is not a lesbian as she is actually in love with him. Although this lie may keep Namrata’s father at peace, for now, they understand the need to come up with another solution.
Back at college, Momo reminds Anmol of the bet he made with Dimple, and how having lost the championship, he was accountable to hold onto his promise. Angry at Momo’s nerve to even ask such a thing, he punches Momo in the face and knocks out one of his teeth. To avoid getting expelled, Anmol is given the alternative of getting counseling.
Meanwhile, Krish and Simran too, are having some trouble in paradise as Simran still hasn’t consented to have a physical relationship with him. To deal with this, Krish joins a dating app to fulfill his needs elsewhere.
Simultaneously, both Dimple and Rishi begin to find love in Harsh and Sanskriti respectively. The team partners Harsh and Dimple now have to start working on another app considering ‘Anti-Sosh’ was stolen from them. They roam around the streets of Jaipur and come up with the idea of an app that unites local musicians. Meanwhile, Sanskriti aka Sunny is helping out with the photography at Rishi’s mother’s wedding.
After days of hiding at home, Namrata and Rishi both return to campus, after being humiliated the night of the ‘League of Legends’ championship. Rishi continues to avoid Dimple, and Namrata too ignores Celina, who just a few days ago outed her in front of the entire college.
A new love interest called Ayesha emerges in Namrata’s life. An ex-student of professor Sid, Ayesha is called upon to help the students with their apps. Jealousy fills the room as Celina becomes uncomfortable with Namrata and Ayesha’s growing proximity. Celina even begins to question her sexuality after feeling insecure about Namrata. Similarly, Dimple’s proximity to Harsh seems to make Rishi envious. Rishi and Sunny thus, pretend to be lovers to get back at Dimple.
Meanwhile, Dimple and Harsh are on a mission to find out who leaked their app. It is then shown that it was Celina, who was forced by Krish and Simran. Krish and Simran blackmailed Celina that they would tell everyone about her job as a delivery girl.
Then comes the much-awaited day of the TechFest. The students travel to Ajmer to participate in various technology-related pursuits and find investors for their apps. The TechFest brings all the couples together and the love between Dimple-Harsh, Rishi-Sunny, Siddharth-Zeenat, and Namrata-Aisha further blossoms. However, growing animosity between Dimple and Rishi leads to a dance-off in which Dimple gets jealous seeing Sunny kiss Rishi. Later that evening, both Dimple and Harsh too realize their feelings toward one another and seal the starting of their relationship with a kiss.
Dimple’s idol Nadini Nahata is also present at the TechFest. She goes on to present her future endeavor – ‘Nandini Nahata Institute of Technology’, an institute comprising solely of selected, gifted students who are worthy enough to work under her. Elated at this opportunity, Dimple starts working hard in hopes of getting selected.
Back on campus, Rishi and Dimple start to set aside their differences and become friends again slowly. A night under the stars makes them realize how similar they are, and thus, they forgive each other. But it is still quite clear to those around them that they still hold the same love for each other, despite being in different relationships.
