Hina Khan's six-year stint in Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai made her a household name and her sudden departure after the second generation taking the lead position was a significant event. The show's producer, Rajan Shahi, shared that Hina was not happy with the leap as the focus shifted towards Shivangi Joshi. Hina's refusal to do certain scenes where she had to glorify Shivangi Joshi had a profound impact. In Rajan Shahi's words:
"One day, the shoot was going on and Hina didn't want to say some lines that were in support of Shivangi Joshi's character Naira. There was a certain level of script interference where Hina refused to say those lines. That day I told her she would have to do the scene as it was, when she didn't agree I told her to either shoot or leave the set."

After that, she was informed about her termination from the show. However, the next day, however, Hina came to the set and then again had a word with the associate, who informed her that she did not need to come to the sets as her contract with the show was terminated.
