Renowned Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan's birthday is here. Irfan Khan was born on 07 January 1967 in Rajasthan, in a Muslim family, at the home of Saida Begum Khan and Yasin Ali Khan. His parents were from Khajuriya village in Tonk city and ran a tire business. His family belonged to the Nawab family of Tonk. He spent his childhood in Tonk and Jaipur.

Irfan Khan did his schooling in Jaipur and graduated from college. Irrfan and his best friend Satish Sharma were good at cricket and were later selected to step into first-class cricket for players under 23 for the CK Naidu competition. Unfortunately, due to lack of funds, they could not reach to participate in the competition. He also received a scholarship to study at the National School of Drama in New Delhi in 1984 and was trained in acting from there.

On 23 February 1995, she married film writer and fellow NSD graduate Sutapa Sikdar. They have two sons: Babil and Ayan. In an interview to India Today in 2011, Sikdar said of him, "He is always focused. I remember him coming home, going to the direct bedroom, and reading books." In 2012 he changed his name to the English spelling "Irfan" by putting an additional "R" in the middle to "Irrfan" because he liked the sound of an extra R in his name. In 2016, he removed Khan from his name because he wanted his work to define him and not his lineage.
