As they say, all good things come to an end, and so, it’s time to say goodbye to our beloved show Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. For me, it wasn’t just a show, it was a place where I found a home outside of home and friends who are now my family. I found brothers for life in Aly, Abhishek, Sangram and Raj and most importantly my father-in-law. This 6 year-long connection with the show and the people cannot be expressed in words. We started off with a simple yet strong concept and little did we know that it would be so well accepted by the audience. Raman Bhalla became a household name, and so did I. And I am eternally grateful to everyone who made Raman Bhalla aka Raavan Kumar as Ishita (Divyanka) says, a character that I will keep with me forever. This show has made me a better person. I have experienced playing a father on screen for 6 years, so when the time comes, I feel I will be ready to accept fatherhood with open arms in real life. I can’t thank Ekta Kapoor enough for believing in me to portray this role and most importantly, I want to thank the fans of Raman and Ishita who kept loving us unconditionally. Like I have always said, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Tum Ho Mohabbatein. Lots of Love, Karan Patel / Raman Bhalla

Talking about his role, he said, “Raman Bhalla is very close to my heart. When we started shooting for the show, little did we know that the audience will relate to the story and my character.”

Playing Raman, who is so raw and relatable has made him who he is today. “I believe, if the audience relates to your character, the show is a sure success, and this came true.”

Through the course of the show, Karan become close to his on-screen father-in law, so much so that he made him his father-in-law in real life, too. He also became close to Aly Goni, Abhishek Verma, Sangram Singh and Raj Singh Arora.

Yeh Hai Mohabbatein was inspired by Manju Patel’s novel Custody and told the story of a Tamil dentist Dr Ishita Iyer and Punjabi CEO Raman Bhalla who get married for the latter’s daughter Ruhi’s sake.
