Mohsin Khan said, "I think nobody knows but Kartik ka bada bhai bhi tha. Toh jo mera pehla mockshoot tha woh tha with Naira and Kartik ka bada bhai. So, I think, the bada bhai was supposed to be the hero later. So, they told me that there are these two characters; Kartik who's this cute, bubbly guy and his elder brother who is this strict man who hates his father and has gone abroad for studies aur woh bahar se aayega. Toh maine bola mai Kartik ka mockshoot duga kyuki mujhe yeh pasand hai so woh karke mai nikal gaya."
Take a look at the exclusive interview of Mohsin Khan here:
(Nobody knows, but initially, there was another character who was Kartik's elder brother. My first mock shoot was with Naira and Kartik's elder brother. The elder brother was supposed to be the hero later. They told me about both the characters; Kartik was cute and bubbly while his elder brother was a strict man who hated his father and had returned from abroad. I connected more with Kartik and I decided to audition for the same and then I left).
Furthermore, the Jab Mila Tu actor revealed that he got a call from Yeh Rishta's team and they insisted on him giving a mock shoot as Kartik's older brother too, however, Mohsin wanted to play Kartik, irrespective of whether he would be the lead or not. Later, the makers scrapped the elder brother's character from the script and the story revolved around Kartik and Naira as leads of the show.
Mohsin Khan on how Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai came his way
He said, "Dream Girl complete hua tha and uske baad maine baal short kardiye they. They were calling for Yeh Rishta but mere itne chhote baal they, maine socha mai kaise karu. Chaar paanch mahine baad bhi unke auditions chal rahe they. Tab tak baal badhey hogaye they tab maine socha chalo theek hai mai abhi jaa sakta hu audition ke liye. Tabhi mai mile tha Rajan Sir or baki sab se. Mockshoot wagera hua tha."
(After completing Dream Girl, I cut my hair quite short. They were calling me for Yeh Rishta auditions but I felt I shouldn't go with such small hair. After four to five months, they were still auditioning and then I thought to try it out as my hair had grown. It was that time when I met Raghan Sir and everyone and gave a mockshoot).
