Irrfan Khan was born as Sahabzade Irfan Ali Khan and had blue blood in his veins. 

Irrfan's mother came from the royal Tonk Hakim family, whereas his father was a rich zamindar. But, apparently, Irrfan was sort of 'embarrassed' about his royal lineage, and hence he dropped Sahabzade from his name.
