Actor Irrfan Khan, who left a mark on people's hearts with his powerful performance on the big screen, is no longer in this world. Irrfan Khan may not be in this world, but everyone still knows him because of his acting. He said goodbye to the world on 29 April 2020. His journey from being a common man to becoming a Bollywood star has been very difficult. There was a time for Irrfan Khan when he used to be a technician.

Irrfan Khan never thought that he would become such a big star from a technician. Then he met Rajesh Khanna and his luck changed. Irrfan Khan himself revealed that he once went to Rajesh Khanna's house to repair his AC.

The late actor Irrfan Khan revealed in an interview that he had trained in a technical course while living in Jaipur to meet his expenses. After completing his training, Irrfan came to Mumbai. After coming to Mumbai, he had to go to the field for work on behalf of a company.

During this time, he went to many different houses and once he got a chance to repair AC at Bollywood star Rajesh Khanna's house. Talking about this, the actor said, "I remember a brother opened the door and he asked me who? So I said AC guy and he said come. So this is how I met Rajesh Khanna. It was only after meeting him that I decided that I also wanted to become an actor."

He further said, "Then I went to Jaipur from Mumbai again and wanted to do some work. My father introduced me to someone and made me sit at a fan shop to repair fans. Then I realized that I cannot work just to earn money."

After this, he graduated from NSD in 1987 and then started looking for work. Irrfan Khan made his acting debut with 'Salaam Bombay'. However, his role in this was very small and that too was removed after the final cut. After this, in 1990, he got a role in the film 'Ek Doctor Ki Maut'.
