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.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
