Khan works in the Hindi television industry in India, appearing in productions associated with mainstream general entertainment channels. His on-screen work has been concentrated in the historical, mythological and fantasy genres that are a staple of Indian primetime television.
Khan came to wider notice with his role in Jodha Akbar, a period drama centred on the Mughal emperor Akbar and his consort Jodha Bai. Khan played the younger version of Akbar, also referred to in the series as Sultan Murad Mirza, depicting the emperor's earlier years.
He subsequently played the title character in Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul, a fantasy adventure series inspired by the legend of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, set in a fictionalised version of Kabul.
Khan's work in Jodha Akbar and Ali Baba: Dastaan-E-Kabul places him among the younger Hindi television actors associated with the historical and fantasy adventure formats that have remained popular on Indian general entertainment television.
