Sumbul on meeting Geeta Kapur after years
"Meeting Geeta Kapur again on India's Best Dancer 3 was an incredibly surreal experience. I had initially auditioned for the show as a kid, and back then, just the thought of being in the same room as Geeta Kapur filled me with awe and excitement. She was, and still is, an icon in the world of dance and entertainment. When my sister Saniya Touqeer and I first met her as a child, I was overwhelmed by her presence. Fast forward to my appearance on the show as a TV star, and it felt like coming full circle. The difference this time around was that I wasn't just a wide-eyed contestant; I was now an actor with my own accomplishments and recognition. Geeta ma'am remembered me from those early auditions, which was a heartwarming moment. It was a beautiful reminder of how far I had come in my journey as a performer."

Geeta Kapur has a way of making you feel comfortable and motivated, and that conversation gave me the extra boost of confidence I needed".
