"Family will always come first, but the one thing I have learned about is life balance: you never get it perfect, but you're dead if you stop trying," says Khan.

Her path to stardom has taken some detours though the world of waitressing, consulting, sales and sponsorship. In 2004 she became a presenter on SuperSport's Update channel and was recently rewarded for her persistence and hard work when she was afforded the opportunity to be a presenter on SABC during the SA versus India cricket series.

It is, however, ultimately radio that grabs Khan's real interest. "I believe that radio has this ability to elicit unrivalled emotion. With the right producer and presenter, radio turns into a thought-provoking and idea-generating feast like no other medium," she says.

In between running her show and her home, Khan still finds time to indulge in her one weakness - world renowned tennis star, Roger Federer. She explains: He plays stylish, graceful, precision-based tennis. His unwavering devotion to his wife and kids is unfortunately unusual in a sports star's life, which contributes to my intrigue."

Khan's other hobbies include running half marathons, playing tennis, travelling and cooking, with her favourite sports being soccer, tennis and formula one. Her abundance of youthful energy and continuous inspiration come from a range of sources: "My parents have always been an integral part of my life and who I am. There are so many people doing good in this country, how can one not be inspired? I admire anyone who strives to increase human prosperity and reduce human suffering, poverty, disease, warfare and genocide."

When describing her experience of life, Khan refers to a saying by Albert Einstein: "Life is like riding a bicycle: To keep your balance, you must keep moving."
