It is a part of his legacy, his digital afterlife, that will continue to ignite strength and courage in those who face similar situations, and it is always there for fans to access. Khan had, through his social media posts, shared stories of his long battle with the ‘unwanted guest’ (neuroendocrine tumor), and his fight is truly an inspiration, even after his death. Before the release of his last film, Angrezi Medium, he had, via his Twitter feed shared a message with fans which began with the words, “Main aaj aapke saath hoon bhi, aur nahi bhi” which went on to describe, how ‘some unwanted guests’ in his body won’t let him promote his film. Return to Irrfan Khan’s Instagram profile, and you will find him echo Rilke’s words “let everything happen to you: beauty and terror” as his shadow on a white wall greets you. Influencers are forgotten, but true talents like Rajput, Sridevi and Irrfan Khan are not and although their digital lives came to a standstill after their demise, they continue to inspire, and tell their fans what they were like through the beautifully put together picture books on Instagram, or through their thoughts, and daily musings left behind on Twitter. In cases of deceased celebrities, it is also a unique and precious legacy that fans have access to, for years to come, thanks to social media. But, more importantly, it is also a reminder of who they wanted people to think they were. Even after a person is gone, their digital footprints on sites like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, is a constant reminder of who they were, what they liked, where they went, and who they hung out with. Digital afterlives are a new reality in the age of social media.
