Mumbai, April 21 (IANS) Television actress Sumbul Touqeer has revealed a long-held dream close to her heart — starring in a dance-based film.

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.”

When I dance, I feel seen — even if no one is watching. I feel free. 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. 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.”

The actress also mentioned that dance has kept her 'grounded and real.'
