To this, Sumbul mentioned that it is incorrect for people to think that education is not important for her. Moreover, she revealed that she chose to put it on hold temporarily. In her words:
“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.”
