Rashid built his career in the Mumbai-based Hindi television industry, taking up character and lead roles in daily soap operas. His on-screen persona has typically been associated with grounded, family-oriented protagonists, a casting niche common to Star Plus prime-time programming during that era.
Rashid featured in Sapna Babul Ka...Bidaai, a Star Plus serial produced by Sphere Origins that focused on the lives of two sisters and the social dynamics of marriage in north Indian households. The show ran from 2007 to 2010 and was among the highest-rated Hindi serials of its time.
His best-known role is that of Sooraj Rathi, a Pushkar-based sweet-shop owner married to an aspiring IPS officer, in Diya Aur Baati Hum. The serial, produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions, aired on Star Plus from 2011 to 2016 and became one of the network's flagship long-running dramas, drawing attention for its themes of women's empowerment within a traditional family setting.
After Diya Aur Baati Hum, Rashid took an extended break from television before returning in supporting and lead roles in subsequent Hindi serials.
Rashid's screen pairing with Deepika Singh in Diya Aur Baati Hum became a recognisable element of Indian prime-time television in the early 2010s, and the show's success contributed to the popularity of family-drama formats centred on small-town settings during that period.
