 Hello @mausamrai,

 Does this problem still persist for you today?

 If yes, does a template file exist for the custom header, i.e. a file
 named: `header-customheadername.php`?

 How does this work?

 WordPress will load custom header templates when the `header-{template
 name}.php` file exists; else, the default template is loaded.

 You can find more information here
 https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_header/.

 As @ Compute notes, I too suspect the problem is due to a mismatch of the
 name passed to the function and the template's filename. I'm marking this
 ticket as a `close` `worksforme` candidate. Please don't be alarmed. We
 mark tickets for close consideration when we are unable to reproduce and
 suspect the problem is not due to WordPress core. However, when more
 information is given, we reevaluate.
