Physically, she is approximately 1.68 m tall (around 5'6"), with dark brown eyes and black hair.

Khanna began appearing on screen as a child of the early 2000s, with one of her first television credits coming in 2002. She moved into film with a debut credited in 2005. Over the years she established herself in Hindi television and film, and she is widely recognized for portraying Ayesha Sharma in the TV serial Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, a role she played between 2011 and 2013.

Her on-screen journey also includes earlier work in the TV serial Sachi Baat Sabhi Jag Jane and appearances in commercials, including an early Cadbury advertisement. In addition to her acting, she has taken part in music-related promotional projects, including a collaboration promoted in 2020 tied to a song called "Quarantine Love."
