Mohsin Khan, a well-known personality in the Indian television industry, has recently shared some surprising details about his life in a candid interview on the “Behind The Success” segment. The beloved actor, famous for his role as Kartik Goenka in the hit show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, revealed that he suffered a mild heart attack last year, a fact he had kept private until now. Mohsin also discussed his decision to take a significant break from acting after his successful tenure on the show.
A Decade in the Television Industry
August 12 holds special significance for Mohsin Khan. It marks not only the day he began his journey in the television industry but also the day he completed ten years in the business. Out of these ten years, he worked continuously for seven and a half years, with the remaining two and a half years spent away from the spotlight. Reflecting on his career, Mohsin mentioned that after filming 1,800 episodes of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, he felt it was the right time to take a well-deserved break.
The Unplanned Extension of His Break
Initially, Mohsin had planned to take a year-long break from work. However, due to unexpected health issues, this break extended further. In the interview, Mohsin revealed that he developed a condition known as fatty liver disease. Unfortunately, this led to a mild heart attack, a situation that forced him to extend his time away from work. He shared, “I was hospitalized for a while, and my health condition made it necessary to take a longer break than I initially planned.”
Health Struggles and Recovery
While Mohsin’s health has improved since the heart attack, the complications weakened his immune system, causing him to fall ill more frequently. The actor was also diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, a condition he humorously compared to a famous dialogue from the movie Queen, saying, “It would have been better to just drink.” Despite these challenges, Mohsin has shown resilience and strength, gradually recovering and preparing to return to the industry he loves.
The Iconic Role of Kartik Goenka

His on-screen chemistry with Shivangi Joshi, who played Naira, became one of the most loved pairings in the show’s history.
