Sibal's family hails from Lahore. His father came to India during Partition, leaving everything behind. His maternal grandparents lost their lives in the violence that followed the Partition. After his post-graduation from St Stephens College, Sibal was persuaded by his Professor Bipin Chandra to take up academics. Sibal taught history in Hindu College for two years where Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri was among his students.
