Pinkvilla was the first to report about Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actor Shehzad Shaikh being roped in for the Sony TV show. Now, the promos of the show Mehndi Wala Ghar are out, and the show is slated to hit the TV screens on 23rd February 2024.
Pinkvilla contacted Shaikh and reminded him of working with Karan Mehra on this show. The duo share a connection way back to Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Karan Mehra played the first main lead of the show, Naitik Singhania. Shehzad Shaikh entered the show much later, after Mehra's exit. He played the character of Naksh Singhania in the show.

When asked if he had spoken to Karan about the same, Shehzad Shaikh said, "Naksh and Naitik in the same show! (laughs). No, I haven't gotten the time to sit down and have an in-depth conversation about it with him. He is always working and is very busy on the sets. Everyone is! We have not gotten that time to have a one-on-one conversation because I feel if we start talking, it will go forever and ever."

Shehzad Shaikh on the legacy of YRKKH created by Karan Mehra and Hina Khan
He said, "If you go to see Karan Mehra and Hina Khan set the foundation of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai for eight years. After that, people are literally taking pay cheque after pay cheque and are building on top and are enjoying the fruits of their labor."
"That's why, I think somewhere I am very grateful for him to have done that show as because of these actors, I also got an opportunity to play a character which went on for three years, and obviously others also worked hard for that show, but I have a huge amount of respect for him, always.", he concluded.
Mehndi Wala Ghar also stars actors like Reema Wohra, Vibha Chibber, Shruti Anand, and Rushad Rana, among others.
