Not anymore; as the 54-year-old passed away today leaving Bollywood and maybe even Hollywood with a vacuum that few can ever fill. Khan is survived by wife Sutapa Sikdar and kids Babil Khan and Ayan Khan. “Irrfan was a strong soul, someone who fought till the very end and always inspired everyone who came close to him,” his family said in a statement. <div type="twitter" handle="SrBachchan" handlename="Amitabh Bachchan" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1138177088136011776/Rnp146CU_normal.jpg" favoritecount="102699" retweetcount="13997" status="T 3516 - .. just getting news of the passing of Irfaan Khan .. this is a most disturbing and sad news .. 🙏An incre… https://t.co/g6M8lUYukL" createdat="1588142616000" id="1255387239330263041"></div> Khan who made his debut with a DD-era TV show ‘Bharat Ek Khoj’ in 1988, became one of the very few actors who started with bit parts to progress to character roles and finally to become a protagonist playing author-backed roles in movies like Hindi Medium, Qarib Qarib Singlle and many more. His first stint with that of Bollywood was light on-screen time as he played a role that lasted a few minutes in the 1988 movie Salaam Bombay, which went on to win a National Film award. But he became famous for his acting chops as he played the layered and complicated Macbeth in Maqbool. It was later followed with the role of a boorish Bengali man in Life in a Metro who left the audience in splits. But one of his first roles as a protagonist was in Lunch Box, a heart-warming love story along with Pan Singh Tomar, the tragic story of a national-level athlete turned rebel - a role that won him a National Award. Very soon, Hollywood came calling where he played key roles in Life of Pi and The Amazon Spider-Man and even the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire along with The Namesake. In a career that lasted 32 years, there were few characters he did not try and excel. The ₹300 acting job in a DD serial <div type="image" title="rursszqnrihuq3e2_1578377770." msid="75445806" hostid="261"></div>Credits: DD Khan hailed from Jaipur and graduated from National School of Drama in 1984. While he was still learning, he landed his first job in a DD show that paid him ₹300, and was ‘very excited about it’. “It was a good amount back then, as my monthly expenses then were at ₹400,” Khan told Kapil Sharma on his show. Khan was influenced by actors like Om Puri who never met the conventional standards of physique and looks to make it in a Bollywood movie. Khan himself mentioned many times that he would not prefer to be a conventional ‘star’. Yet top roles came calling in Bollywood and Hollywood. True to his word, he also rejected A-list Hollywood films like The Martian and Interstellar. ‘To live and be dead is worse than the fear of death’ <div type="image" title="D9E9F5D3-A8DC-4A9A-9CF4-DAB76934283C" msid="75445812" hostid="261"></div> Khan exhibited this very same grit and determination even after he was diagnosed with cancer in 2018. After that, he shot his movie Angrezi Medium which was released just before the Coronavirus lockdown. Even as he fought a long and lasting battle with cancer, his spirits were never down. “You know what’s worse than one’s fear of death? To live and be dead. I relate to everything which works against the odds. I have faith in miracles and I have faith in obtaining the unattainable with an undying spirit,"<a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/irrfan-khan-on-angrezi-medium-film-new-bollywood-movie-6307242/"> Khan told media in March ‘20 while </a>talking about his movie Angreji Medium. Just before he passed away, the Padma Shri winning actor had to suffer through another personal tragedy. His 95-year-old mother Saeeda Begum had passed away in Jaipur on Saturday (April 25), and he was unable to attend the funeral because of the lockdown.

Irrfan Khan’s inspiring journey from Chandrakanta to Macbeth to a father struggling to get his child into a school

On 14 February, Junaid Khan, a bachelors student from Talen, a town in the central Indian state of <keyword id="6355554" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Madhya-Pradesh">Madhya Pradesh</keyword>, was booked under the IT Act and IPC Section 124 A (sedition) for sharing ‘objectionable’ material on the messaging platform. The 21-year-old was incarcerated for being the admin of a group that was sharing a seditious message via WhatsApp. However, his family claims that though he was a part of the group, he was not the ‘admin’ when the message was being forwarded. They told the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/whatsapp-forward-in-group-lands-default-admin-in-jail-for-5-months/articleshow/65096219.cms">Times of India</a> (TOI) that the group admin was someone called Irfan who left the group and someone else became the admin who also left leaving Junaid as the ‘default’ admin. Unfortunately for Junaid, at the time the police case was filed by a few locals at the Talen police station against Irfan (who was also arrested) and the group admin, Junaid was the admin and thus he was jailed. He was also denied bail to take his exams because of the nature of the message that was forwarded. The police, however, have countered the family’s claim saying that they had not said that he was the ‘default’ admin when Junaid was arrested and they only brought this up after the matter went to court. Yuvraj Singh Chouhan, the then Pachore police station in-charge told TOI that at the time of arrest they did not have any evidence that would corroborate whether or not Junaid was the admin at the time the message was being shared. He also said that if the family had evidence that he, in fact, was not the admin then they should produce it in court. This statement was echoed by the Rajgarh superintendent of police Simala Prasad who also told TOI that though they are trying to ascertain whether indeed there were other admins in the said group, the family at the time of arrest had not claimed that he was the ‘default’ admin. She also said they family claimed that there were more than one administrators at the time the message was shared. Just to clarify this whole admin, default admin issue - here’s how it works on WhatsApp. A group is usually created by one person first who is the original admin. He/she can add, remove other members to the group, change the group name and group display picture etc. The original admin also can make other people in the group admins as well. If and when the original admin leaves the group, the mantle passes on to the others made admin by him/her. However, there have been instances when many people exit the group or the conversation leaving only one person behind who becomes admin by default. And <a href="https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/whatsapp-group-admin-you-are-intermediary-and-here%E2%80%99s-what-you-need-know-35031">according</a> to the Indian IT Act, if you are the admin of a group you can be held accountable for sharing objectionable content. The irony, however, is that the admin cannot regulate what is posted on the group and neither he/she delete something posted by someone else. WhatsApp is already finding itself in a tight spot with the Indian government who believe that the Facebook-owned company should be held accountable for the surge in the distribution of <keyword id="2479020" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fake-news">fake news</keyword> that has lead to violence across India. To curb this, the company has already introduced a bunch of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/whatsapp-restricts-message-forwarding-in-an-attempt-to-reduce-fake-news-lynchings/articleshow/65073335.cms">changes</a> to the user interface to limit the reach of messages. However, for cases such as this, perhaps it is time for it to also find a way to plug this loophole.
