Early life
editSumbul Touqeer was born on 15 November 2003 in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh[1][2] and brought up to Katni, Madhya Pradesh where she spent the initial 6 years of her life. When Sumbul's age was 6, her parents were separated. Sumbul and her younger sister Saniya who is also a television actress both were raised by her father as a single parent.[3] Her father Touqeer Hasan Khan, then decided to move to Delhi with the family and spent 5-6 years. Sumbul's father was a dance choreographer in Delhi while Sumbul and Saniya used to perform in her father's choreographed Krishna and Ram Leela plays, which sparked their interest in dancing which further led to interest in acting. One day her father pondered about the future of their kids and thought that they can't do anything while staying in Delhi so ultimately decided to pack his bags and move them all to Mumbai from Delhi so that they could try their luck in the entertainment industry after noticing that his children, Sumbul and Saniya had a keen interest in dance.[3]
