Khan married Sadaf Khan in 2005 after a seven-year courtship.[2][3] They have three children.[4][not in the source given][5] Khan and his wife founded Silk by Fawad Khan, a clothing line,[6] whose debut collection was launched in August 2012 in Lahore.[7]

He was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 17, after an accident which damaged his pancreas.[8] The accident occurred behind a swimming pool, where Khan was scratched and jumped into untreated water. He later realized he had the disease when he lost 10 kilograms (22 lb).[9]

Khan performed Hajj, the annual pilgrimage of Muslims to Makkah, along with his family in 2018 and was therein invited to the Annual Hajj Lunch by King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia.[10]
