Her breakthrough came in 1990 with Mansoor Khan's Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar, where she choreographed the iconic song Pehla Nasha, which was noticed by the industry and instantly put her on the map and established her as a main choreographer. Farah went on to choreograph some of Bollywood's most memorable songs, including Ek Pal Ka Jeena from Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Chaiyya Chaiyya from Dil Se, Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan from Dil Chahta Hai, and others. 

In 2004, Farah Khan turned director with Main Hoon Na, starring Shah Rukh Khan. In 2007, she directed another superhit movie Om Shanti Om, which also marked the launch of Deepika Padukone, followed by Tees Maar Khan in 2010 and Happy New Year in 2014. After decades of success as a choreographer and filmmaker, Farah has now embraced digital content creation on her YouTube channel, where she makes quirky cooking videos with celebrities.
