Some Lesser Known Facts About Sumbul Touqeer Khan
- Sumbul Touqeer Khan is an Indian film and television actress.
- Her parents got divorced when she was six years old. She even tried to find a suitable match for her father, but her father denied it. [3]The Times of India In an interview, while talking about it, she said,
My parents got divorced when I was six, though life was different yet not difficult as I loved my dad who took care of me and my sister like a father and mother, both. My father used to wake us up for school, get us ready, prepare our breakfast and then after we used to go to school he would go to work. I was very close to my mother till we were in Delhi, my father didn’t have any problems with that. But after we shifted to Mumbai, I lost touch with my mother.”
- Her father worked as a dance choreographer in various dance reality shows. He encouraged his daughter to make their career in the entertainment industry. In an interview, while talking about it, Sumbul said,
My father is a dance choreographer in several dance reality shows and he always wanted his kids to do something big in life. He saw that his kids — my sister and I — had a great interest in dancing so he gave this a thought and finally decided to pack his bags and bring us all to Mumbai from Delhi in 2016 where we could try our luck in the entertainment industry. So this acting ka keeda was basically given to me and my sister (who too is an actress) by our dad. My sister and I did a lot of Krishna and Ram Leela plays in Delhi from where we got inclined towards acting.”
- In an interview, Sumbul shared that people criticised her for making a career as an actor. She said,
Coming from a Muslim background, I did face criticism from the society as they felt that my sister (who’s also an actress) and I shouldn’t join showbiz. They often have misconceptions about the industry and hence feel it isn’t safe for young girls like us. But I would like to talk about the efforts that my father has put in to be the wind beneath our wings. He has supported us like a rock. It is because of his belief in us and our craft that we can make a little mark in the industry. He always has complete faith in our work.”

My husband should be there for me when I come back from work, to just ask me about how was my day or if I am alright. He should be emotionally available for me. Even if he is not asking anything, just sitting with me after my long day of work counts.”
