Mohsin Khan, best known for portraying Kartik in the popular TV show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” recently revealed that he suffered a mild heart attack last year.

But I didn’t tell anyone. It had become quite serious).”
A Critical Moment
Reflecting on the severity of his condition, the actor mention that the situation was quite serious. “I was admitted for some time. Phir eljaz wagera hua. 2-3 hospital change kiye humne (We switched between 2-3 hospitals for treatment. But now, everything is under control.),” Khan said. Thankfully, his health improved, and he reassures his fans, “But it is now controlled, mashallah.”

Par woh pata nai hoh jata hai, maybe hum sleep pattern sahi nai hai. Woh hua tha. (It’s called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. You can develop a fatty liver even without drinking alcohol. It just happens without you realizing it, maybe because our sleep patterns aren’t right. That’s what happened).”
