Tonight on The Anupam Kher Show Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai at 8 pm on Colors, Irrfan will reveal more about his life from his struggling years. Part of a feudal family, Irrfan will share how he frequently accompanied his father for hunting trips. Eager to pursue acting, Irrfan procured admission at the National School of Drama. On the show, he'll admit how at the start of his career, people commented on his lack of ability to act. He'll share another incident about how he landed a role in Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay, for which he underwent a workshop to prepare himself months before shooting began. Sadly, he was turned down. The actor started his career on television, with an aim to get into films. In fact, Irrfan recalled a memory from the beginning of his work life, when he felt that he resembled Mithun Chakraborty. The actor even tried to dress like him.

He won accolades for films like Warrior and Paan Singh Tomar. When Anupam Kher mentioned that the latter is one of his favourite films, Irrfan revealed that he had based his character on his father who had been a strong influence in his life.

He added that people often mistake his quiet nature as his ego, which he has tried to change. With many stories of his ups and downs, Irrfan's journey is touching.
