The makers of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai took a major risk when they opted for a generation leap on the show, as it made everyone disappointed with the exit of TV’s favourite bahu, Akshara a.k.a. Hina Khan. But after a dip in the TRPs, it eventually skyrocketed with the refreshing change of romance between the lead characters of the show, Mohsin Khan and Shivangi Joshi. After Kartik and Naira’s sizzling on-screen chemistry, fans started rooting for Mohsin and Shivangi to pair up off screen as well.

While Shivangi and Mohsin remained tight-lipped about their break up speculations, it did not take a minute for the rumours mills to go wild with such conjectures. However, without giving any clarifications to such reports, Shivangi and Mohsin thwarted them with their appearance at the Gold Awards 2018. On June 20, 2018, Shivangi and Mohsin won the 'Best-Jodi' award for Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai at the Gold Awards 2018.
Mohsin shared a picture with Shivangi on his Instagram, and captioned it, “There couldn't have been a bigger and more beautiful celebration!! Celebrating Togetherness Love Laughter..silly jokes.. intense scenes.. romantic songs.. 2 years. 600 Episodes and Truckload of memories..@Gold awards!!!”.

In 2017, Mohsin opened up about his relationship with Shivangi and had stated, “Several theories have been doing the rounds, including our link-up, but we didn't allow it to affect our friendship or work. In fact, there was nothing to talk about initially, since we were just friends. Our friendship graduated to love only recently; it's just been a month-and-a-half. We rang in the New Year with my family. Funnily, we haven't gone out on an official date yet, owing to our erratic schedule.”
Further speaking about the camaraderie between him and Shivangi, he added, “I am grateful that Shivangi and I got to work together. People accepted Kartik and Naira instantly and loved them. We have always enjoyed working together. We often get messages on all social media platforms and I try to reply to as many as possible”.
Revealing what he likes the most about his lady-love, Mohsin remarked, “I don't know what made me fall for her. I guess it's her innocence. We are still exploring each other. It has been a long friendship and a beautiful journey, which has now blossomed into love."
