Actor-creator Prajakta Koli is in a creative phase where every instinct is pulling her in different directions, yet her love for romance stories and the emotional connection she shares with the YA Netflix web series Mismatched remains constant. Marking her first lead role in a streaming show, Dimple Ahuja became a household name among younger audiences.
Speaking about the final season of the hit Netflix show Mismatched, Prajakta admits she is already emotionally preparing herself for goodbye. "I have been Dimple for almost seven years now. I am dreading each day that passes because it takes me closer to the final day. I am going to cry my eyes out and hug everybody."
The final season of the web series was officially announced at the Next on Netflix event held in Mumbai in February 2026. The upcoming chapter will once again follow Dimple and Rishi as fate unexpectedly brings them back into each other's lives despite their emotional goodbye.
Prajakta recalls how nobody anticipated the kind of impact the series would eventually have on younger audiences. "That was an eye-opener for all of us," she says. "Everyone was pretty much new. When we were shooting Mismatched, we would talk about how it had the vibe of Dill Mill Gayye or Miley Jab Hum Tum."
Prajakta recently stepped into Marathi cinema with the movie Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam, a move she says felt deeply personal. "The Marathi film came about through Kshiti Jog and Hemant Dhome, the producers," she shares. "Kshiti played my mother in Mismatched. I love Marathi cinema; it's my mother tongue, and I did Marathi theatre for a long time."
Prajakta's upcoming slate includes Operation Safed Sagar, Single Papa season 2, and the final season shoot of Mismatched. "It's so exciting," she says. "I am writing until June, then I start shooting Mismatched. I also have Operation Safed Sagar, where I have a small but beautiful character, and another project called Single Papa."
