Actress Khan has since revealed that the storyline was her idea.
Speaking to BBC News, she said that she pitched the storyline because racism was an issue that she wanted to tackle.
"This was an issue that I definitely wanted to raise and wanted addressed, because I get a lot of people coming up to me, young Asian girls, Asian guys, that are so happy to see me on the television a representation of them.
"I'm so happy to be that voice for them in all the positive elements that come with that, but there is negativity and I thought that was definitely worth exploring."
Many viewers praised the soap for accurately representing the everyday racism that many people in the UK still experience.
