He attended Bikram College, Punjabi University, Patiala, and The Punjab Public School, Nabha. He graduated from Punjab University and Chandigarh’s Post Graduate Government College, number 11.

After a cousin persuaded him to try his hand at the movie business, Sheirgill traveled to Mumbai. He took acting lessons from Roshan Taneja there.
