Actor Boman Irani says he fails to understand why celebrities hide from the media when their initial motive behind becoming an actor is to get famous.

"Actors work so hard to become famous and when they become famous, they run from the press, I don't understand that theory, " the 52-year-old said here Monday. He was paying a visit to the Don Bosco shelter.

Boman also targeted newcomers who start acting pricey after earning fame.

"First the newcomers are eager to come in front of the camera and later they are like 'no, sorry, sorry, no pictures'. What is this? I say fame is a very dangerous and bitter thing, " said Boman.

Last seen in "Ferrari Ki Sawaari", Boman is looking forward to his first romantic film "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi". He will be seen romancing Farah in the movie coming out Aug 24.
