Asmara argues that the elderly woman often spoke badly about her mother – Arshiya for not being in love with Akhtar Begum’s now-estranged son. Asmara tells Naani that she was only defending her mother.
Naani argues that Asmara should respect her elders, even if it meant they were wrong. Asmara decides to pack up and go back to her own house as she does not want to live in a house where her mother is not respected. This pushes Naani to stand up against Akhtar Begum’s remarks. She calls the old woman out for calling Asmara an ill omen.
Asmara apologises to Akhtar Begum for the way she talked to her the night before. Just then, a bunch of shopkeepers tell Asmara’s grandfather – Nanaji that the builder has sent them a notice.

There, Asmara and Tania expose David Chenoy and his minions for stealing Rukhsana’s designs. David Chenoy fires his minions – Nia and Ariana. He asks Rukhsana to work with him as an independent freelancer. Rukhsana shares the news with Farzaan.

Assuming the woman is Farzaan’s first love, Asmara backs out and walks away as the first season of Dil Dosti Dilemma comes to an end.
The Episode Review
As long as this episode was, this Prime Video original has come to an end and it has ended in total confusion. While on one side the show looks well written and well made for a young adult romance, there are so many questions about the way things on this one are left open-ended.
We know how Asmara and her friends managed the task of saving Tibbri Road, how they did all this at such a young age is beyond me. Aside from that confusing plot point, the rest of the show makes a lot of sense. We see Asmara and Naani struggling to understand each other’s world and the two finally coming to terms with the differences between them due to the generation gap.
We also see teenagers struggling to deal with the ups and downs of their romantic lives while maintaining a picture-perfect world for their rich friends to be envious of. As cringy as people like to call Anushka Sen for being an influencer at a very young age, she does a pretty good job on this show.
