Raisinghan trained as an actor and entered the Mumbai television industry in the early 2000s, taking up supporting roles before progressing to lead parts. Beyond performance, he developed an interest in production work and direction, which he later pursued alongside acting assignments.
Raisinghan featured in several daily soaps during the 2000s, building a profile as a dependable second lead and antagonist on Hindi general entertainment channels. He took on episodic and host-led roles in crime-based shows, a genre to which he has returned repeatedly through his career.
His widest recognition came from Sasural Genda Phool, a family drama produced for StarPlus, in which he played Dr. Siddhant "Sid" Modi opposite Ragini Khanna. The serial, set in a large Delhi-based joint family, ran for an extended period and remains the role most closely identified with him.
After Sasural Genda Phool, Raisinghan appeared in shows including Saas Bina Sasural on Sony Entertainment Television and the medical drama Savitri Devi College & Hospital on Colors TV, where he played a senior doctor. He has also taken part in dance- and stunt-based reality formats and continued to anchor and dramatise segments for crime reconstruction programmes such as Crime Patrol.
Raisinghan has been involved in independent content production, working on short-form digital projects and music videos in collaboration with his wife, actress Sangeita Chauhaan. These projects mark his expansion from on-screen performance into behind-the-camera work.
Raisinghan married actress Sangeita Chauhaan; the two have appeared together in promotional and digital content. He is generally based in Mumbai, the centre of the Hindi television industry.
Raisinghan is representative of a cohort of Hindi television actors who built careers across the genre shift from saas-bahu family dramas of the late 2000s to procedural and medical formats of the 2010s. His sustained work on crime reconstruction programming, in particular, reflects the steady viewership of that genre on Indian general entertainment channels.
