Khan has written several highly acclaimed yet controversial TV plays for different networks.[6][7] He first rose to fame with the acclaimed Burns Road Ki Nilofer.[8] He is best known for Quddusi Sahab Ki Bewah which ran for 140 episodes[4][9] His stories are reflective of every day lives of the inner cities of Pakistan and highlight ills of society that are often viewed as controversial.[6] It was the case for the supernatural series Taar-e-Ankaboot (2013), which touched on many taboo and bold subjects such as prostitution, sexuality and black magic.[10] His plays come across as a slice of life, offered up without the garnishing of pretence.[11] Most of them were staged by Mazhar Moin, a childhood friend of his.

In late 2021, Khan made his directional debut with short film Dafa Ho Jao Tum starring Resham and Abdullah Ejaz.[12]
