Recent reports claiming that television actor Mohsin Khan is set to marry a non-celebrity girlfriend have been swiftly refuted by the actor himself. Khan, known for his portrayal of Kartik Goenka in the long-running series "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai," took to Instagram on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, to address the swirling rumors.

In a concise yet firm message, Khan labeled the news as "Fake news bro," urging media outlets to verify information before publishing it. His response came after a popular TV show on ABP News, "Saas Bahu Aur Saazish," suggested that the actor had been secretly dating someone and was preparing to tie the knot. This sparked a flurry of reports across various entertainment portals, further fueling the speculation. Some reports even indicated that the woman was not from the entertainment industry and that the potential match had been arranged through family friends.

Khan's denial isn't the first time his personal life has been the subject of public conjecture. Since his departure from "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" in 2021, rumors about his relationships and marriage plans have surfaced periodically. However, the actor has generally chosen to maintain a dignified silence on these matters.

Despite the recent buzz, Khan had previously expressed his openness to an arranged marriage. In a 2024 interview with The Times of India, he stated that he was single and that his family was actively looking for suitable matches ("rishtas") for him. He also mentioned his desire to get married by 2025, feeling that he had reached an appropriate age. In the same interview, Khan shared his fondness for children and his hope to become a "hands-on father."

Prior to these recent rumors, Khan was linked to his "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai" co-star, Shivangi Joshi. While neither actor publicly confirmed the relationship, their on-screen chemistry and off-screen presence led to widespread speculation among fans. Reports suggest they were together from 2017 to 2020.

Currently, Mohsin Khan is reportedly focusing on upcoming projects, including ventures in the OTT space and ad campaigns. While fans eagerly await his return to fiction television, the actor has remained relatively private about his professional endeavors.
