Sumbul Touqeer, who has captured countless hearts with her versatility , recently spoke from the heart about a passion that has shaped her more than anything else which is dance. In a world full of noise and constant change, Sumbul says it is dance that has been her anchor, her safe space. “I would love to do a film, a series, or even a reality show that’s centered around dancing,” she shares with a heartfelt smile. “It’s not just an art form for me. It’s a feeling. It’s where I find my calm amidst the chaos. Dance has been my silent friend on the loneliest days, my celebration on the happiest ones.” For Sumbul, dance is deeply personal — it’s stitched into the fabric of who she is. “There were times in my life when words failed me, when the world seemed too heavy and it was dance that helped me breathe again. When I dance, I feel seen — even if no one is watching. I feel free.” Having built a career based on talent , hard work, Sumbul now dreams of merging two of her greatest loves — acting and dancing. “I would love to tell a story through dance — to live a character who expresses with every move, every emotion. To show the world that dance is not just movement, it’s a pure emotion.” She adds,“I don’t just want to perform. I want to feel every beat, live every moment, and pour my soul into it. If a project like that happens, it won’t just be another assignment — it will be my prayer, my gratitude to the journey that has made me who I am.” While the world knows Sumbul as an actor of remarkable depth, what many don’t see are the countless moments she has spent alone — dancing her worries away, dancing her dreams into existence. “Dance has kept me grounded. It has kept me real, it has kept me human,” she says.
And if there’s anything Sumbul has shown us through her journey, it’s that when you follow your passion with pure heart — magic is inevitable.
