A delightful romantic comedy series that is sure to make you smile is Dil Dosti Dilemma. The series, which stars Anushka Sen, Kush Jotwani, Vishakha Pandey, Elisha Mayor, Revathi Pillai, Tanvi Azmi, Shishir Sharma, Suhasini Mulay, Mahesh Thakur, Shruti Seth, and Priyanshu Chatterjee, is an adaptation of Andaleeb Wajid’s book Asmara’s Summer. Debbie Rao is the series’ director.
These days, the majority of online shows are either romantic, criminal dramas, or thrillers. However, Dil Dosti Dilemma, starring Anushka Sen, is not one of those typical programs. The young girl at the center of the program is punished by her parents for traveling to Canada, and she is forced to live with her grandparents. The story is based on Andaleeb Wajid’s young adult novel, Asmara’s Summer. She chooses to keep it a secret from her pals, though, because she would actually be spending her holiday in Bengaluru’s far more upscale Tibbri Road rather than in Canada.
In addition to Anushka Sen, the seven-part series also features Tanvi Azmi, Elisha Mayor, Revathi Pillai, Akshit Sukhija, Kush Jotwani, and Shishir Sharma.
Dil Dosti Dilemma’s writing is what makes it so effective. Anuradha Tiwari, Bugs Bhargava Krishna, Raghav Dutt, and Manjiri Vijay have all created excellent scripts for the program. Raghav Dutt is the writer of the dialogue. Many facets of Asmara’s (Anushka Sen) life have been skillfully shown. Emotion, rebellion, comedy, camaraderie, and familial ties are all present in Dil Dosti Dilemma. Together, these elements provide the play a charming and enjoyable quality.
Speaking of the show’s female star, Anushka Sen, she gained a significant amount of notoriety at a very young age and a devoted fan base both in India and abroad. She even debuted in South Korea in the film Asia.
Anushka Sen spoke candidly about her experience performing for Asia in an exclusive conversation with Tellychakkar. She also discussed the differences between filming Korean films and the recently released Indian serial Dil Dosti Dilemma.
“First off, I started watching K-dramas during COVID and I wanted something feel-good and Dil Dosti Dilemma wasn’t there at that time,” Anushka Sen stated. As a result, I was looking for a feel-good show. Of course, Bollywood films are the “it” thing that you can watch again and again, but I thought, “Let’s see something new,” so I started watching K-Dramas. Then, because this is a part of Asia, I would just randomly ask myself, “What if?” People are traveling to Hollywood these days, so why can’t we Indians travel to Korea and work alongside them as fellow Asians?
And after that, I would simply tell my mother things like, “Mujhe Han River pe mujhe shoot karna hai,” and so on. Eventually, they got in touch with me and told me that they had been watching what I was doing for the previous two years. After that, we had meetings and other things over Zoom calls. following COVID. It has been over a year and a half since my first trip to Korea. I completed the first schedule of the film Asia, where I play an assassin—a totally different role from the ones I have performed up to this point. That makes it really tough and different for me as well.
A very unique feature of my life is that I am now the Ambassador for Korea Tourism. As you may know, I wanted to act as a bridge between Korea and India because they are both parts of Asia, and I wanted Indians to learn about Koreans. It’s about so much more than just the movies and music—it’s about the people, the cuisine, and so on. Later, when I worked there, I saw that the enthusiasm remained the same. The director didn’t speak English, which posed a major communication barrier for me even though I had a translator on site who was always speaking.
Emotions on set need to be in sync with your director’s discussions, and you can only better comprehend your characters when you have a deeper understanding of them. Language is not a barrier, I realized. Whatever the endeavor, it might be a bit challenging, but obstacles toh aate hi hai, and it just worked out. It improved, and I saw that they are now much more thorough and strategic. They still go through the entire storyboarding process, drawing each and every scenario.
They too have choices and all that. It’s amazing to realize how much I learnt over the entire experience, and I can’t wait to complete the second schedule. The distinction is that, while not significantly different, language serves as a barrier. Otherwise, nothing changes—it’s still movie. That is not particularly impacted by language.

— Anushka Sen (@anushkasen_04) April 16, 2024Anushka said, “Oh, it’s a big shift,” in response to a question concerning the transition from Korean film to Hindi series and the sort of shift she felt. It’s enormous. It’s the largest project I’ve ever worked on and something I’ve always wanted to accomplish. I love rom-coms, so this is the ideal chance for me to create one. I’m so appreciative that they believed I could uphold the character and bring justice.
I had a great time and learnt a lot, but to be honest, I still find it strange that I’m speaking to you in this strange place. It seems like we shot this last month, but it was really last year. To be honest, it feels unreal. It’s not really setting in yet.
