&quot;I just wanted to become somebody. I wanted to change the perception of people towards me. That was the basic reason,&quot; said the actor, a known name thanks to his work in &quot;Namesake&quot;, &quot;Paan Singh Tomar&quot;, and &quot;Maqbool&quot;, to name a few. <img alt="Irrfan Khan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/mar/Irrfan-Khan.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 423px;" /> The 46-year-old, who was speaking at the launch of author Vikas Swarup&#39;s book &quot;Accidental Apprentice&quot;, added: &quot;Initially, I wanted to become famous - be it a player or whatever. But I didn&#39;t get any support from my family.&quot; Irrfan states that the wide open field that acting is led him to pursue a career in Bollywood. &quot;When I was a kid, I used to think that there are 11 players (in cricket) so there is a limitation. Then I thought actors can be many, there is no limit and you have to work on yourself as there is nobody to choose you and your talent can become a weapon. So, that&#39;s how I chose acting,&quot; he said. Irrfan will soon be seen in Tigmanshu Dhulia&#39;s &quot;Sahib, Biwi Aur Gangster Returns&quot;.u00a0

Irrfan, known as one of the best performers in the country, says as a child his only motive was to become famous and change people's perception towards him.

For Irrfan, it was all about becoming famous
