Madhumita has always been an avid Bollywood fan. When one of her favourite actors, Amitabh Bachchan, set up a blog in 2008, she was quick to start following it, and often left comments. Soon, she also began to notice replies being left by other readers, and a few women in particular caught her eye. “Mira and Kashmira always replied, and had something interesting to say,” she says.
Another commenter, who was based in Liverpool, suggested regular readers connect via email. “She sent an email to a few women, to connect a small group of us together because she thought we’d get on well,” says Mira. It turns out she was right. Madhumita, Kashmira and Mira got on so well that they quickly formed their own friendship trio.
