Early life

Sumbul Touqeer was born in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh and brought up in her hometown Katni, Madhya Pradesh where she spent the initial six years of her life. When she was of age six her parents got separated and her father Touqeer Hasan Khan brought Sumbul and her younger sister Saniya to Delhi where they spent 5–6 years. Sumbul and Saniya both of them were raised by their father as a single parent.[4] Sumbul's father was a dance choreographer in Delhi, while the siblings used to perform in their father's choreographed Krishna and Ram Leela plays, which sparked their interest in dance and later transformed into acting.[5]

Sumbul's father took notice of his daughters' keen interest and talent for dancing, due to which he decided to shift the family to Mumbai in pursuit of opportunities in the entertainment industry.[4]
