Mahir was born in Shehgal family as the eldest son of Andy Shehgal and Sumitra Devi. Mahir was disturbed from childhood when he learnt his father married his stepmother Pallomi and since then he decided to become responsible and loyal person for his family especially for his mother Sumitra. Mahir used to love his brother Yuvi and his family a lot. Mahir became a famous businessman afterwards.

At one night, Mahir received a call from his stepbrother Pratham who asked him to come to the mansion which was recently bought by Andy Shehgal. Mahir arrived there and noticed his stepbrothers and Yuvraj and Yuvraj's friends terrified. He saw a pistol in his another stepbrother Aaditya's hand and asked him the reason for carrying the pistol. Mahir was then told that Aaditya had shot a snake in the forest but did not know that Aaditya had shot a shapeshifting serpent, Vikrant. Mahir believing their lie snatched pistol from Aaditya.

    What Mahir didn't know was that Vikrant's lover, Ruhi saw pistol in Mahir's hand and assumed him to be Vikrant's murderer and had vowed to avenge her love.

After six months, the Shehgals planned double wedding of Yuvraj and Pratham where Pratham was getting married to Suhani and Yuvraj was getting married to Bela( Ruhi's new identity who had returned to avenge Vikrant). Mahir was aware of his brother Yuvraj's nature who was never serious for any relationship and thus Sumitra made Mahir to look after him and wanted Mahir to make sure that Bela would not get heartbroken later. Mahir being familyman decided to obey his mother but during wedding Mahir learnt that Yuvraj fled away with his ex-girlfriend, Raavi and to protect Bela and his family for humiliation, Mahir married Bela.

    Mahir used to care Bela a lot even though she used to behave rudely. Mahir then slowly started to fall in love with Bela. After few months of marriage, Mahir learnt that Yuvaraj( which was actually Vikrant in disguise) came back for Bela which devastated Mahir but soon Bela informed the man to be fake Yuvi who wanted to break their marriage. Mahir then helped Bela and acted as they were getting divorce for Yuvraj and Bela's marriage but were secretly seeing each other.

Mahir was also sure that Bela was also in love with him till this point.

Mahir with the help of Bela made fake Yuvi get married with their business-partner, Vishakha(another shapeshifting serpent and close friend of Bela). Soon Mahir learnt that actual Yuvraj was dead with some of his other family members and friends and Bela was somehow involved in all the murders. Mahir then confronted Bela and learnt that Bela was actually Ruhi and more importantly Naagrani of Sheshnaag clan. Heartbroken Mahir then disowned Bela.

    Mahir soon got attacked by a purple serpent which was Sumitra and lost his memory. Mahir then started to act as a child and was then mistreated by Sumitra and her gang. Six months after, Mahir was supposed to marry Shivli but got married to Bela who married him in the form of Shivli. Mahir who had forgetten Bela slowly got fond of her but still acting as a child. Mahir was then held captive but Bela protected him and stored Naagmani in him and sent him to Naaglok and then Naagmani cured him ad he regained his memories realizing Sumitra's true intentions and Bela's love for him.

    Mahir soon got reunited with Bela and soon they consummate their relationship. Soon Mahir got caught in fire which was set by Sumitra and her gang but he escaped somehow. Mahir's enemies(Sumita and her gang) assuming Mahir to be dead and Mahir went infront of them as a new persona named Krish who pretend to join hands with Sumitra for money.

Mahir then as Krish then met Bela and even pretended to join the demons(Hukum and Huzoor) to learn their conspiracy against Bela. Soon Mahir and Bela learnt that the demons want to impregnant Bela to give birth of dark entity Andhakaa but Vishakha got pregnant instead of Bela. Mahir then also learnt that Bela was pregnant with his child but soon afterwards Andhkaa got born from Vishakha as Taamsi and grew up fast and killed Mahir and Bela.

He was only attracted towards the mysterious girl and soon he recalled his past life and found out that mysterious girl in his dreams was his past life lover Bela who had reincarnated as Shravani. Mihir then got hostage by Tanya who was revealed to be Taamsi and was taken to Rahasmayee Mandir where Shravani, Vishakha, Sumitra, Rithik and Rocky were present. Mihir then witnessed Mahanaagrani Shivangi returning to protect Shravani and even helped to free real Rithik and Rocky who were imprisoned by Shesha who later took their forms. After the death of Sumitra, Shesha and Taamsi , Mihir married Shravani.
