His family roots lie in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan where, through his mother Sadi Khan, a MBE awardee and entrepreneur, his great-grandmother was the first female teacher in her village while his great-grandfather gave lands in Poonch so locals could build an university.[1]

Khan began taking acting classes at the Television Workshop at the age of 9.[2] He attended Trent College,[3][4] where he was a Drama Scholar and completed A Levels in Politics, Geography, and History in 2019. He went on to graduate from King's College London in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in History, being personally impacted by Dr Reza Zia-Ebrahimi's seminars on Race, Orientalism and Islamophobia.[1]
