Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Actor Irrfan Khan passed away today morning. Here is a tribute to him from a fan, that only a true fan can write. May he rest in peace.
Sad! Very sad! Just heard the news. I really had a blackout for few seconds.
Is it a coincidence or something else, I don’t know, (and I really can’t fathom it), that watched Angrezi Medium last night.
Everyone knows he was an actor extraordinaire. But for me, he was that tall dark handsome hero from Mills n Boons.
I loved him in Banegi Apni Baat. I was too young to understand the complexity of the role, but then I think I got attracted to him because of this very reason.
He went on to act in several movies and can without doubt say that he was an exemplary ambassador for Indian movies on the global stage.
His role in Piku made me realize why I loved him in Banegi Apni Baat. He is that unconventional hero. He played the role so well, that every girl would want him in her life.
In Angrezi Medium, he has played the ‘perfect father’. I wanted to write about the movie today but God’s ways are strange. I never thought I would write about him to say how much he will be missed.
I knew he was not well, but had prayed for his health and hoped he would be well soon.
His message to all of us when he announced his illness had brought tears to my eyes then.
I had really hoped and wished that he would get out of it fighting fit.
Why him? Why so soon? Why now, when he can’t even be given a proper farewell because of the lockdown?
Or maybe he wanted it this way. To go away silently.
It’s indeed a very big loss for the Indian film industry.
May his soul rest in peace 🙏
God give strength to his family.

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
