He was named after the famous French painter Paul Cézanne.

Khan went to boarding school at Barnes in Deolali. He earned his Bachelor of Commerce from M.M.K. College of Commerce & Economics in Bandra, Bombay.

Career

During his college days, he was involved with modelling and then theatre. After Khan completed his B.Com, he was supposed to join SVKM's NMIMS (Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies) for MBA when he was offered a film. This film never released but it made him leave his MBA to pursue a career in acting [5]. Then television happened. Anubhav Sinha offered him a role in his TV serial Hasratein on Zee TV and he accepted the offer. And soon after, he got Neena Gupta's Palchhin and Balaji Telefilms's Kalirein. He also did a bit of acting in B.R.Films' serial Dushman. Meanwhile, he was offered the role of Anurag Basu in Ekta Kapoor's hit television series Kasautii Zindagii Kay (2001 TV series) on Star Plus which catapulted Khan into stardom.

In June 2007 Khan entered Sony Entertainment Television's Ek Ladki Anjaani Si as Dr. Dhruv Mehra. Khan also hosted The Good Health Show on Zee TV for some time. He acted in few Pakistani TV serials – Piya Ke Ghar Jaana Hai, Silsilay Chahat Ke and Gulnaar Bano (guest appearance)[6].

Ek Ladki Anjaani Si was aired on Sony Entertainment Television. In it, Khan played the role of Dr.Dhruv Mehra for almost 5 months. Dr. Dhruv Mehra is a rich neurosurgeon, who adds major twists and turns to Nikhil and Ananya's life. He is an atheist who does not believe in luck but in himself and is arrogant enough to think that he is the one who grants life to his clients. He feels that he has magic in his hands and when he saves the life of a patient then all the credit should be given to him and not God. He is an overconfident doctor who thinks that he can do anything.

Seeta Aur Geeta

In the year 2009, Seeta Aur Geeta (TV series) was aired on Imagine TV in which Khan played the role of Suraj, the proverbial Prince Charming.[7]
