Sara Ali Khan was born on 12 August 1995 in Mumbai to Saif Ali Khan, son of Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore, and Amrita Singh; both actors of the Hindi film industry. A member of the Pataudi and Tagore family, she is also the maternal granddaughter of Rukhsana Sultana. She has a younger brother, Ibrahim. Her half-brother, Taimur, is Saif's son from his second marriage to Kareena Kapoor. Khan is of predominantly Pashtun and Bengali descent on her father's side, and of Punjabi descent on her mother's side.

When Khan was a four-year-old, she acted in an advertisement. According to Saif, the actress Aishwarya Rai proved to be her inspiration for pursuing a career in film after she saw her perform on stage at Chicago. In 2004, when Khan was nine, her parents divorced, and Singh was granted legal guardianship of her children. Saif was initially not allowed to see her or her brother; they have since reconciled, and, according to Saif, "are more like friends [than father and daughter]". Khan also shares a healthy relationship with Kapoor, her step-mother; she stated in 2018, "I would like to imbibe her professionalism in me".

As a teenager, Khan struggled with her weight, and had to undergo daily workouts under a strict schedule to get fit. She was also diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which she ascribes as a cause for her weight gain. Khan studied history and political science at Columbia University in New York. In 2016, she completed her graduation early, within three years, and took off the remaining one-and-a-half years for weight training, following which she returned to India.

In 2019, Khan appeared in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list, ranking 66th with an estimated annual income of ₹57.5 million (US$810,000). She is a celebrity endorser for several brands and products, including Fanta, Puma, and Veet.
