Who Plays Kartik In Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Now

For viewers searching for the new actor playing Kartik in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, the key point is that Kartik Goenka was played by Mohsin Khan. He became one of the serial’s most recognisable leads opposite Shivangi Joshi, who portrayed Naira Goenka.

There has not been a newly announced replacement for Kartik in the current storyline. The show has moved through later generations, so recent episodes focus on different central characters rather than recasting Kartik. This distinction matters for Australian viewers finding older clips, streaming listings or social media updates.

Actor	Character	Place in the serial	Current position
Mohsin Khan	Kartik Goenka	Major lead in the third generation	Best known actor for Kartik
Shivangi Joshi	Naira Goenka	Kartik’s principal partner	Former lead character
Harshad Chopda	Abhimanyu Birla	Fourth-generation lead	Later central storyline
Samridhii Shukla	Abhira Sharma	Current-generation lead	Part of the newer cast
Rohit Purohit	Armaan Poddar	Current-generation male lead	Not a replacement for Kartik

Mohsin Khan remains the actor linked to Kartik

Mohsin Khan joined the long-running Star Plus family drama in 2016 as Kartik Goenka. His portrayal covered romance, family conflict, grief and responsibility, making Kartik a major figure in the serial’s third-generation storyline.

Kartik’s pairing with Naira became a major attraction for viewers. Their relationship was commonly discussed by fans as “Kaira”, and the character remained strongly associated with Mohsin even after the actor left the programme.

Why viewers think Kartik has been recast

Search results can create confusion because Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai has used generational leaps and frequent cast changes. Promotional videos, fan edits and short-form clips may place a newer male lead beside scenes or captions mentioning Kartik.

A new actor may also be described as a “new hero” or “new lead” in entertainment coverage. That wording does not mean the performer is playing Kartik. In the present narrative structure, later heroes belong to different families and story arcs.

Kartik’s place in the show’s generations

The serial began with Akshara and Naitik, followed by the Kartik-Naira period. After that storyline ended, the programme introduced Abhimanyu and Akshara’s generation, then moved towards Abhira and Armaan.

This format allows the series to continue without keeping every original character on screen. Kartik is therefore an important former lead rather than the active romantic hero in the latest generation.

How the cast differs from later leads

Harshad Chopda played Abhimanyu Birla during the fourth-generation arc, while Pranali Rathod played Akshara Goenka. Their story was separate from Kartik and Naira’s relationship, even though the wider Goenka family history connected the generations.

The current leads, including Samridhii Shukla and Rohit Purohit, belong to another phase of the serial. Calling either actor a replacement for Mohsin Khan would be inaccurate because the character names, families and central conflicts have changed.

Where Australian viewers can follow the programme

Indian television fans in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth often follow Hindi serials through streaming services, television packages and official digital channels. Availability can differ between states, subscriptions and licensing periods, so an episode found on an overseas platform may not appear in Australia.

Australian broadcast times may also shift when daylight saving changes between AEDT and AEST. Viewers can check this Star Plus schedule guide before planning an evening watch, particularly when sharing updates in family WhatsApp groups or local Indian community circles.

How to identify the correct actor

Look for the character name “Kartik Goenka” alongside Mohsin Khan in cast information. Images showing Kartik with Naira usually belong to the third-generation period, while scenes featuring Abhimanyu, Abhira or Armaan belong to later storylines.

Fan pages can reuse old thumbnails and label them as new episodes. Checking the episode date, official promotional material and the credited character name is a safer way to separate archival content from current programming.

Watching older Kartik and Naira episodes

People who want to revisit Kartik’s major scenes should search by story arc rather than simply typing “new Kartik actor”. Useful terms include “Mohsin Khan Kartik Goenka”, “Kartik Naira scenes” and “Kaira episodes”.

Australian audiences should also use legitimate services available in their region, since free links can be unreliable, contain intrusive advertising or raise copyright and security concerns. This guide explains how to watch online while helping viewers understand the available viewing options.

Kartik was played by Mohsin Khan, and there is no confirmed new actor taking over that same role in the current generation. Newer male leads are part of the show’s continuing family saga, rather than direct recastings of Kartik Goenka.
