Gossip mills are now buzzing with the rumours that Karan will make a return as Naitik in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’. It was said that Karan met the show’s producer Rajan at an awards function and there are chances the actor will make a comeback to the show.

The ‘Bigg Boss 10’ contestant, while talking to an entertainment portal, refuted the rumours of meeting Shahi.

‘’Well, we are in touch and exchange messages, but I couldn’t meet Rajan Sir that day. It is strange how such news is formulated,’’ Karan told Tellychakkar.

When asked if he was approached to make a return to ‘Yeh Rishta’, he told the portal, ‘’Abhi tak toh aisa kuch bhi nahi hai.’’


Karan Mehra was last seen in a cameo in Shrenu Parikh and Zain Imam starrer ‘Ek Bhram Sarvagun Sampanna’.
