Personal life

Khan remembers her childhood fondly :

My father was in the Forces so we practically had to shift base every two years. Each time we moved, there was a new school and environment. The real friends that I made during my school days were when I got into class eight. I don't have what would you call "childhood friends". The thing with so much shifting around is that one never develops any deep association for any institute. Otherwise, I enjoyed the process of packing, going to a new home, decorating my new room and all. It was fun but I am sure my parents got fed up with all the shifting. My brother, Zarak, was not around the house as he was sent to a boarding school to ensure he had steady schooling. I guess I did feel lonely. Despite the fact that we fought a lot, it was wonderful when he used to come home.

Career

Khan made her debut in a PTV drama called Rashid Minhas Shaheed. She received her real breakthrough from the drama serial Tanhaiyaan. She is also currently the good will representative of WWF.
