Imlie fame Actress Sumbul Touqueer Khan: Many actresses started their career at a young age, however very few of them were able to reach their destination. Today we will talk about one such actress, who once had to face rejection due to her skin color. But today she has become one of the highest-charging actresses.
The actress we are talking about once used to survive by eating just one meal a day. But later, she became the owner of a luxurious house at the age of just 19. She is none other than Sumbul Tauqeer Khan.
Rejected because of dark complexion
Sumbul Tauqeer Khan was born in Shahjahanpur, Uttar Pradesh and lived in Katni, Madhya Pradesh until she was six years old. At the age of six, her parents separated and her father Tauqeer Hassan Khan brought Sumbul and her younger sister Sania to Delhi, where they spent the next 5-6 years before moving to Mumbai. Sumbul and her family had to struggle a lot when they came to Mumbai.
I survived by eating 1 vada pav a day
There was a time when Sumbul’s family survived on one meal a day, which was a vada pav. She revealed in an interview, ‘I remember how they sold everything before coming to Mumbai. Though our days of struggle were not too much, they were difficult. There were days when the only meal of the day was a vada pav but we never complained. Truly, vada pav has saved the lives of many strugglers in Mumbai who have very little money.’
This actress became a star at the age of 17
