Her parents had a polyamorous relationship where they were married to different partners, but in 1978, they married to legitimize their children. She has two younger brothers, Zac Goldsmith and Ben Goldsmith, and five paternal and three maternal half-siblings, including Robin Birley and India Jane Birley.

Khan enrolled at the University of Bristol in 1993 and majored in English, but dropped out when she got married in 1995. She eventually completed her Bachelor's Degree in March 2002 with 2:1 honours.
