Sahil was born and brought up in a [[Muslim]] family in the [[Dharavi]] neighbourhood of [[Mumbai]]. He actively participated in [[Tablighi Jamaat]] programs and also engaged in Da'wah activities, which involve inviting non-Muslims to convert to Islam.

They engaged in a conversation for approximately four to five hours, during which the scholar's responses to Sahil's questions did not provide satisfactory resolution and despite efforts by his family to persuade him to reconsider, Sahil remained firm in his decision, and eventually, his family accepted his choice.<ref name="Bhaskar">{{cite web |last1=कौशल |first1=पूनम |title=एक्स मुस्लिम साहिल का इंटरव्यू:मैं पक्का मुसलमान था, फिर इस्लाम छोड़ दिया क्योंकि कोई मौलवी मेरे सवालों का जवाब नहीं दे सका |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/db-original/news/nupur-sharma-controversy-ex-muslim-sahil-on-islam-quran-blasphemy-130064800.html |website=Bhaskar}}</ref> | ||
