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 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 furthest extent and each one learns something new about life.

Rakesh comes to respect Reshma.

The show concludes when Reshma, Rakesh, Nisha, and the 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's 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.
