=={{anchor|Two years later}}Plot==

Radhika Mishra and Samaira Khanna are best friends. Radhika, an easygoing and optimistic young woman from [[Rishikesh]], wants to be a writer. Her grandfather inspires her to live life to the fullest. Saral Joshi is deeply in love with her, wants to marry her.

Samaira (Sam) is an independent, bubbly, fun-loving young woman who works at Birdsong Advertising Agency in Mumbai. Neil Malhotra, Sam's friend since childhood, also works at Birdsong and is secretly in love with her. Sam has a poor relationship with her mother, Piyali, who blames her for her son Jay's death.

Radhika befriends Sam and Neil when they go to Rishikesh to shoot an advertisement. Radhika helps Sam by providing her with a [[tagline]] for the ad. Seeing her talent, Sam and Neil encourage Radhika to focus on writing. She and Saral get engaged; she moves to Mumbai and begins working at Birdsong.

Radhika decides to go back to Rishikesh, but Arjun asks her to stay. Since she knows that Sam loves him, however, she leaves.

Neil and Sam then realise that they love each other, and marry. Neil, Sam and Arjun go to Rishikesh to bring Radhika back. Arjun apologizes, and proposes to her romantically.

==Reception==

==={{anchor|Critics}}Critical reception===

According to a ''[[The Times of India|Times of India]]'' review, "Manmarziyan have created characters which are real and relatable to the youth today."<ref>{{Citecite web|last=|first=news|date=31 July 2015|title=Top 5 must watch shows on 'Friendship's Day|url=https://m.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi//photostory/48291706.cms?picid=48292030|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=29 July 2024|websitework=The Times of India}}</ref> ''[[The Indian Express]]'' gave the series two-and-a-half stars: "What struck us was the freshness of the show. Monica Sehgal leaves quite an impression, whereas veteran Kashmira Irani who makes a comeback on television after seven years still knows how to make an impact on-screen. The show also scores some brownie points by exploiting the unmatched beauty of real locations."<ref>{{Citecite webnews|last=Kapoor|first=Jaskiran|date=27 June 2017|title=Tv show Dosti… Yariyaan… Manmarziyan: So far there are little complaints|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/play/out-of-the-box-of-friends-and-big-dreams/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150418051412/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/play/out-of-the-box-of-friends-and-big-dreams/ |archiveaccess-date=1829 AprilJuly 2015 |access-date=2024|websitework=The Indian Express}}</ref>
