Sumbul sister birthday: Sumbul Touqeer has been hogging all the attention ever since she participated in Bigg Boss 16. Who said you need to win the reality show to become a winner? The TV diva, who ruled the roost as Imlie, became a household name after featuring in Salman Khan's show. Although she didn't win, she earned a significant fan following.

After her stint in the show ended, Sumbul Touqeer Khan took up music videos, Entertainment Ki Raat and an audio series titled Devil Se Shaadi. Giving a major surprise to her fans, the 19-year-old unveiled the promo of her new show Kavya- Ek Jazbaa Ek Junoon. She will be seen playing the role of an IAS officer in the show, which will beam on Sony Entertainment Television.

Remember Filmibeat was the first portal to inform our readers about the Male lead of Kavya?"Mishkat, known for his work in shows like Aur Pyaar Hogya and Nisha Aur Uske Cousins, has signed the dotted lines for Kavya- Ek Jazba Ek Junoon. He perfectly fits the bill as we are confident that he will look amazing with Sumbul Touqeer.
