Rohit Saraf returns to the role that made him a Gen Z favourite as Mismatched Season 4 begins

Rohit Saraf is returning to one of the roles that turned him into a Gen Z heartthrob. The actor has reunited with Prajakta Koli as filming begins on the fourth and final season of Mismatched. For many fans, Rishi isn’t just one of the many characters in Saraf’s filmography, but the role that gave his popularity among young audiences a boost and made him one of the most-loved romantic leads on streaming. With the actor stepping back into Rishi’s shoes, anticipation around the final season has only grown stronger.

The makers announced the start of production on Monday, confirming that the final chapter of the coming-of-age romance is now on floors. Over the past three seasons, Saraf’s understated performance as the earnest, old-school romantic won him a devoted fan following, with Rishi’s journey becoming central to the show’s appeal. Hailed as the greenest flag of the lot, there’s immense adulation for the role and how Saraf plays Rishi. The new season will once again follow the fan-favourite pair whose relationship has kept viewers invested through its many highs, heartbreaks and near-misses over the last three seasons.

For Saraf’s loyal fan base, the announcement sparks fresh excitement. Ever since the third season ended on an emotional note, with their engagement being called off, social media has been flooded with theories about where Rishi and Dimple’s relationship was headed. With Season 4 billed as the final curtain, fans have been eagerly waiting to see if the two finally get the ending they have been rooting for, or if the series has one last twist up its sleeve. Many have also been revisiting memorable moments from the previous seasons, hoping the beloved couple gets the closure they have long wished for.

The new season also represents a creative change behind the camera. Divyang Thakkar, who directed Jayeshbhai Jordaar, has taken over the director’s chair for the final instalment as the series heads towards its home stretch. His addition marks the biggest creative change for the franchise as it prepares to bring Rishi and Dimple’s story to a close.

While the makers are keeping plot details tightly under wraps, familiar cast members are expected to return alongside Saraf and Koli. Produced by RSVP Movies for Netflix, Mismatched Season 4 has officially gone on floors. The makers haven’t revealed a release date yet, but with filming now underway, the wait has officially begun for #DimpShi fans eager to know what lies ahead for one of streaming’s favourite couples.
