## Plot

The show starts with Disha and Arav doing commentary on the ongoing cricket match in their colony, while their parents Ram and Anandita playing cricket with other colony members. Anandita faints, and Ram and their children care for her.
Ram gets disturbed when he discovers Anandita cancer has relapsed. The doctor advises him to take Anandita to a cancer hospital. She refuses to go to the hospital and tells Ram to accept her willingness to die and her rejection of treatment. Anandita wishes to see her father, Mr. Kapoor, whom she left 18 years back.
When they reach her father's house, her younger sister, Monica and Monica's husband, Manav, shout at them and ask them to leave. Mr. Kapoor, her father, argues with her for leaving them 18 years back and was not ready to forgive her. On returning home, Disha argues with them for meeting Mr. Kapoor. Ram convinces Disha and Anandita thanks him for saying sorry to her father.
Ram plans a vacation for his family to Jodhpur, where they celebrate Anandita's birthday. Ahuja's family returns home from vacation. Anandita faints again and Ram calls for a local doctor. The doctor advises him to take her to a cancer specialist. Disha is shocked. At the hospital, Ram consoles Disha.
After few weeks, Anandita dies in the hospital. After her death, Mr. Kapoor argues with Ram and forces Disha and Arav to come home with him. Disha meets a lawyer who helps Disha and her family to get out of the situation. However, Ayan's family warned Ayan not to help Disha and Arav, as his dad, Suraj, is Mr. Kapoor's driver. Disha argues with Mr. Kapoor but is unable to do anything. Mr. Kapoor apologizes to everyone in the court, police arrest him and take him away.

## Reception

Prathamesh Jadhav of india.com rated 3.5/5 saying, "The show offers a hatke watch. Indian Express rated 2.5 saying, Ram Kapoor’s ‘Dil Ki Baatein Dil Hi Jaane’ ventures into uncharted territory." Mouthshut.com rated 3.5. Bollowoodlife.com rated 4/5 saying, "The story itself provides for a huge scope of melodrama and emotion that is ideal for small screen. Plus Anandita and Ram's daughter Mahima are promising. And hopefully, like her on-screen dad, Disha too will bring out fresh expressions that will be a breath of fresh air from the regular rona-dhonaa that we witness on television.'
