Before becoming an actor, Mohsin Khan worked behind the camera as an assistant director in the Indian television industry. He assisted on productions before transitioning to on-screen acting roles, a path that gave him familiarity with set processes and direction.
Khan began his on-screen career with supporting roles in Hindi television. He appeared in shows such as Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya on Zing and Nisha Aur Uske Cousins on Star Plus, where he played the character Love. These early appearances established him on the daily soap circuit.
In 2016, Khan was cast as Kartik Goenka in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, produced by Rajan Shahi's Director's Kut Productions for Star Plus. The serial, originally launched in 2009, underwent a generational leap, and Khan's character became central to the show's narrative. His pairing with Shivangi Joshi, who played Naira Goenka, was widely followed by audiences and frequently referred to by the portmanteau "Kaira" by viewers and the entertainment press.
Khan continued in the lead role until 2021, when the serial underwent another generational transition and the lead cast was replaced. He also appeared in special episodes and crossover sequences linking the show with other productions in the same network.
Apart from his daily soap work, Khan has featured in music videos and promotional content for Hindi entertainment platforms. He has also participated in dance and reality-format episodes alongside other Star Plus performers.
Khan's performance as Kartik Goenka contributed to the sustained ratings of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, which has been among the longest-running Hindi-language fiction serials on Indian television. He received nominations and recognition at industry award ceremonies associated with television, including categories for popular jodi and lead actor on Star Parivaar Awards platforms.
