Irfan and cricketer brother Yusuf Pathan have a joint foundation called Cricket Academy of Pathans, which is a self-funded project for the under-privileged children. "We have a foundation — Cricket Academy of Pathans — and it is our dream project that we launched last year," Irfan told PTI.

"It is a self funded project where we help under-privileged children... coach them, give them equipment and other things. So whatever funding I get from here, we will use it there." For Irfan, a self-confessed non-dancer, the challenge of grooving on a national platform made him sign Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded.
"This offer came to me and I took it as a challenge. It took time for me to accept the show. I am a non-dancer. And this show is about the journey of non dancers and this thing attracted me to do the show," he said.
