Sanam belongs to a multi-ethnic family. Her father is Punjabi while her mother is Memon. Belonging to an elite family, Sanam was always intrigued about the life of a commoner. It was her mother’s endless support that allowed her to burst her security bubble and discover different colors of life. She started modeling at 16 years old. However, it was a very short-lived career.

In 2015 Sanam Saeed married her childhood friend Farhan Hassan, an investment banker from Karachi. Sanam settled in Dubai with her husband. However, she was traveling back and forth to take care of her ailing mother. She recalls it as a dark phase in her life. She could not settle in her marital life as well. Sanam and Farhan parted their ways amicably. In 2018, Sanam announced her divorce.

In 2021, Sanam and Mohib Mirza got married in a private ceremony. They announced their marriage in 2023.

Sanam is very vocal about human rights and social responsibility. She has always used her power as a celebrity for good causes. She has been an ambassador for breast cancer awareness for Shaukat Khanum’s campaign. Sanam was very close to her (late) mother who passed away battling cancer. She considers it her responsibility to create awareness among the masses about the fatal illness.
