Sumbul Touqeer is one of the most popular faces in Tinseltown. She rose to fame with her stint in the show, Imlie, which gave her mammoth recognition. Going forth, she became a part of a number of reality shows and some other daily soaps, including Bigg Boss 16, Kavya-Ek Jazbaa Ek Junoon. She also was a part of films like Vaaste, Ishq Ho Gaya and Sazishen. Despite such stardom, Sumbul unfortunately becomes a victim of criticism often, be it on the basis of her dusky skin tone, or her physique. As something similar happened yet again, the actress silenced it sharply.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), a fan of Sumbul Touqeer re-shared a glimpse from one of her interviews. The diva looked gorgeous in a white off-shoulder dress, and she seemed to be proudly flaunting her curves, looking gorgeous as ever. However, the internet user wrote a caption, that directly fat-shamed Sumbul. The fan wrote:
“@TouqeerSumbul kitni moti ho gai #SumbulTouqeerKhan.”

“Mere saath toh bohot alag tarah ke roadblocks the, ayesa nahi ki kisine roka mereko, but somewhere mentally, bohot zyada the because ye hota tha pehle."
In yet another interaction with Zoom, Sumbul had reacted to people’s constant inquisitiveness about her educational qualifications. The fact that at the mere age of 20, the diva has achieved so much in terms of stardom hasn’t been well-absorbed by many repressive thinkers of our society. Explaining how it is incorrect for people to think that education has no value in her life, Sumbul mentioned:
“Who says education is not important to me? Many girls like me have responsibilities towards their families. But that doesn't mean I have abandoned my studies. I was pursuing commerce, but I have chosen to put it on hold temporarily to pursue a course in cinematography.”
