By Anil Merani: Mohsin Khan, best known for his role as Kartik Goenga in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai (YRKKH) from 2016 to 2021, has recently gained attention for off-screen events rather than new acting projects. Since leaving the show, his visibility has primarily come from personal developments, unlike his co-star and rumored ex-girlfriend Shivangi Joshi, who has maintained a steady career. With Mohsin’s acting opportunities limited, there is an urgent need for a comeback to stay relevant in the competitive entertainment industry.
Off-Screen Focus vs. Professional Work
Since his departure from YRKKH in October 2021, Mohsin’s public presence has been driven by personal milestones rather than new roles. Key events include:
– Marriage Speculation: In June 2025, Mohsin denied rumors of marrying a non-celebrity on Instagram, calling them “baseless.”
– Health Issues: In August 2024, he revealed suffering a mild heart attack at 31, linked to health issues, which kept the spotlight on his personal life. He later clarifed the same as a communcation gaffe
– Controversies: Past incidents, including a 2017 traffic violation, have drawn media attention for reasons unrelated to acting.
– Social Media Engagement: With 1.4 million Instagram followers, Mohsin shares personal updates but rarely promotes new projects.
This pattern contrasts with peers like Shivangi Joshi, who have remained active and visible in the industry.
Shivangi Joshi’s Continued Success
Shivangi, who played Naira in YRKKH, has maintained a strong presence:
– Ongoing TV Roles: She starred in Balika Vadhu 2 and competed in Khatron Ke Khiladi 12, most recently appearing in Barsatein – Mausam Pyaar Ka.
– Social Media and Popularity: With 7.2 million followers, her engagement and endorsements keep her in the limelight.
– Buzz for Future Projects: Rumors about a potential reunion with Mohsin keep her in the conversation for lead roles.
This strong professional trajectory underscores the need for Mohsin to regain visibility.
The Need for Mohsin Khan’s Comeback
Mohsin’s extended hiatus threatens his standing, especially as peers remain active. His fans demand new work, evident in social media comments expressing hope for his return. At 33, he is still marketable, but strategic actions are crucial to avoid being typecast.
Comeback Opportunities:
– Reality TV: Reports suggest Mohsin was approached for Khatron Ke Khiladi 15, which could enhance his visibility.
– TV/OTT Lead Roles: A reunion with Shivangi in a new project or a lead role in a fresh series could redefine his image.
– Film or Web Series: His early work as a second assistant director could open doors in film or web series.
In summary, Mohsin Khan has clear opportunities for a comeback, and timely decisions will be essential for reclaiming his status in the entertainment industry.
