Sajid Khan was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, the son of former stuntman-turned-director Kamran Khan and his wife Menaka Khan (née Irani). He has one sister, Farah Khan, who is a choreographer, director, producer and actor. Farah's husband, Shirish Kunder, is also a producer, editor and director of films. Khan has other connections to the film industry: former actresses Honey Irani and Daisy Irani are his mother's sisters and filmmakers Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar are his maternal cousins. Khan completed his primary education from Maneckji Cooper School in Mumbai and then graduated from Mithibai College. Hindi film actor Ajay Devgn was his college friend. His father Kamran used to direct black-and-white B-grade films featuring actor Dara Singh but in an attempt to transition into mainstream cinema, he invested his life savings and mortgaged his assets to produce an ambitious project starring Sanjeev Kumar. However, midway through production, Kumar reportedly left the film, leaving it incomplete and causing Kamran significant financial ruin. In order to repay the debts, the family had to sell everything they owned, including cars and jewellery, and Sajid, at age 16 and while still a college student, had to start DJing at various parties and social events.

Khan began his career as a host of the TV show Main Bhi Detective in 1995. He then hosted a music countdown show Ikke Pe Ikka in 1996. The show entered the Limca Book of Records as the longest running countdown show to be aired on Indian television with the same host. In Kehne Mein Kya Harz Hai he played triple roles; the show, which aired on Sony TV, made 200 episodes which were aired from 1997 to 2001. It was a television talk and comedy show featuring humorous interviews, light banter, and celebrity interactions, often parodying older Hindi movies. In 2008, he hosted a talk show, Sajid's Superstars and also judged India's Got Talent season 2. Along with Terrence Lewis and Shilpa Shetty, Khan was a judge on Nach Baliye Season 5 (2012–2013) and Season 6 (2013–2014).

He also did a stand-up comedy show Sajid No. 1 in 2003. His next show was Super Sale in 2005.

While filming Housefull 2 in 2011, Khan began a romantic relationship with actress Jacqueline Fernandez. The relationship attracted media coverage in India and there was speculation of an impending wedding. However, the relationship ended in May 2013.

In the wake of the MeToo movement in India, since October 2018, Sajid has been accused of sexual harassment by several female colleagues. Women who have accused Khan of sexual harassment include Mandana Karimi, Saloni Chopra, Rachel White, Simran Suri, Marina Kuwar, Aahana Kumra, Dimple Paula, Sherlyn Chopra, and journalist Karishma Upadhyay. The BBC television documentary Death in Bollywood (2021), which covers the suicide of Indian actress Jiah Khan, also included accusations of harassment against Khan on Jiah by her sister Karishma Khan. The Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association imposed a ban on Khan from directing films in light of the allegations. It was subsequently revoked a year later on 10 December 2019. Though he denied the allegations, Khan stepped down as the director of Housefull 4 (2019) and was eventually replaced by Farhad Samji, the co-director of Housefull 3 (2016).
