== Premise ==
''Dil Dosti Duniyadari'' is a journey of six friends, all of different shades and colours. Meenal, Sujay, Kaivalya, Anna, Ashutosh and Reshma not only share the same flat but also share their lives with each other. All of them have come to Mumbai with a reason of their own. When destiny brings them together, it becomes a mad man’s world to live in. Each day brings about a new set of fun-filled expeditions for them. No matter how bad the situation is they always stand by each other. The life in this house is no less than a roller coaster ride of emotions. These six individuals have now found family away from family. From here, begins a journey of evolving relationships, changing dreams, heartbreaks, and countless moments of pain and joy. But most of all, an unending journey of lifelong friendship.

== Plot ==
The plot of the Dil Dosti Duniyadari serial begins with a newly married Reshma who leaves her home in Akola to settle with her husband Rakesh. When she reaches Mumbai, she is heartbroken when she finds out that Rakesh has a girlfriend and was married to her unwillingly, upon receiving threats from his father. Reshma leaves the house and does not know what to do with her dreams crushed.

Another girl, Meenal, discovers Reshma abandoned and befriends her. She introduces Reshma to her flatmates. Initially, they are reluctant to receive her, but soon bond with her mainly because Reshma is a talented cook. The story showcases the friends in various situations, exploring their emotions to the fullest extent, and each one learns something new about life. Reshma changes as her friends teach her to live life full of freedom. Reshma and her friends decide not to tell her family the truth, at least until Reva, her younger sister, is married. Rakesh comes to respect Reshma.

The show concludes when Reshma, Rakesh, Nisha, and their friends reach Akola to attend Reva's marriage. When the marriage is done, Reshma and her friends reveal the truth in front of everyone. Rakesh's father threatens his son to abandon Nisha, but Rakesh, who is also influenced by Reshma's friends, no longer buckles and strongly asserts himself. Reshma tells the truth to her parents, who understand her. Reshma father asks her to stay with him. The friends become emotional when they come to know that Reshma will not be returning with them, who parts ways with her. Reshma reunites with her friends, saying that she would be starting a new life with them, with her father's permission. The friends become overjoyed and enjoy each other's company. The final scene is when all six friends happily step on the platform of Dadar Station in Mumbai.

He aspires to be a great singer and [[music composer]] one day and wants to show his father the real worth of music.

Kaivalya has a strained relationship with his businessman father, Vasant Karkhanis. However, Vasant reconciles with his son and allows him to live life the way he wants.

He often tells stories of his childhood friend Pamya and forgets each time that he has told everyone about Pamya.
* Pooja Thombre as Anna Mathews - A Catholic girl who is originally from [[Vasai]] and works in the fashion industry.

* [[Swanandi Tikekar]] as Meenal Shevale - A headstrong girl who has left her home in [[Kolhapur]] to become an actress. She is a very open-minded girl and is quite confident about herself.

During her work on a play, she fell in love with its director, Kabir, only to face heartbreak when he eloped with the woman he had truly loved all along.
* [[Sakhi Gokhale]] as Reshma Rakesh Inamdar (Patil) - She is the newest and only married member of "Mazghar".

So Jagannath arranges his son's marriage to a girl called Reshma Patil who happens to be in the same city and arranges property for both to live in Mumbai. However, Jagannath nor Reshma have any idea that Rakesh is cheating them by having secret extramarital affairs with a North Indian girl called Nisha. Rakesh is very intelligent, rich, and good at his work, but as a person very selfish, greedy, materialistic, and inconsiderate with Reshma. She believes that Rakesh would finally realize his mistake and come back to her, but her roommates loathe and disdain him. Nevertheless, they still tolerate his antics by never closing the door on Rakesh whenever he comes to Mazghar to visit his wife.
