Born to a middle-class family in Jalore, Rajasthan, Sahil Khan Dyer always dreamed of becoming a renowned dancer.
Sahil started dancing at the age of 8 and started teaching dance at the age of 12.
Growing up, Sahil faced a lot of difficulties to get to where he is today. His father, Suleman Khan Dyer, is an auto-rickshaw driver who worked very hard to make ends meet and put food on the table.
He said, “I faced a lot of financial issues. I didn’t have money for my costumes, entry fee for competitions, or travel money to get to the competitions. I would borrow good clothes from my friends and family for my auditions.”
Sahil had to struggle a lot to make a name for himself but what got him through it all was the constant support of his family and friends.
He said, “I lost almost 170 competitions before I won my first. I never lost hope, thanks to my support system pushing me through every loss.”
Sahil talks fondly of his Sawti maa. He says she is one of his biggest supporters and had a huge role in his success.
He says, “she didn’t give birth to me but unhone apne sagge betto se bhi jyada rakha hai muje mere her mode pe support kra hai unhone muje (although she isn’t my birth mom she took care of me like I was her son. She supported through everything).”
Talking about his journey, he said, “I won my first competition at district level after that I had a winning spree, and then one day, I had won 450 competitions! I won for the district, state, national, and international levels 11 years from 2010 to 2021.”
Sahil’s story is nothing but an inspiration for everyone. He preaches the motto “never stop chasing your dreams”. This cheerful and passionate willpower of Sahil has helped him win many accolades for his dancing skills. He is currently a social media influencer with thousands of followers.
Sahil has worked and choreographed for many artists in reality TV, movies, etc.
He dreams of opening up the most prominent dance studio and talent management company. He wants to help as many people as he can that are chasing similar dreams.
