Eijaz Khan's early life unfolded in the quaint town of Chimur. He fondly reminisced about his youth, recalling moments such as walking to school and engaging in hockey practice.

Further, Eijaz highlighted the significant influence of his father in shaping his core principles and perspective on life. The 'Tanu Weds Manu' star shared, "He was both strict and open-minded. He ensured we absorbed the true teachings of Islam, not merely as a religion but as a lifestyle. He never imposed on us but facilitated our learning." Eijaz noted that these teachings remain integral to his life, and he aspires to pass them down to future generations.
His passion for sports and performance also played a crucial role in paving his career path. He recounted, "During school, we performed musicals on annual days. A friend encouraged me to audition, and I was honored as the best student on the very first day. That was my initial experience on stage."
Despite facing challenges, Eijaz Khan feels that his childhood experiences fostered deep empathy and resilience within him. "Experiencing various hardships as a child rewired my brain to empathize profoundly with others," he stated. He expressed his appreciation for the lessons learned and the discipline imparted by his father, asserting, "My experiences shaped me into the compassionate individual I am today."
Currently, Eijaz Khan is engaged in the Netflix drama, "Dhoom Dhaam", where he will share the screen with Pratik Gandhi and Yami Gautam in his upcoming project.
