In the same interview, Krishnakumar Kunnath had also recalled the time when he had sung a song for his wife, Jyothy Lakshmi Krishna, on the first evening right after their wedding. However, when KK was asked whether he used to stare at Jyothy during his singing performances in the colony functions. KK had explained that he used to practice songs all day long whenever he was at home when his wife told him that he should stop singing songs all day long. Answering this, KK had admitted that it was tough for him as his parents and all the elders were present at the functions. The singer had surprisingly shared that his wife often used to request him not to sing in their house. Revealing the way his wife had reacted to it, KK had said: Girls even try holding me when I go for the shows.' I lie to her. Despite being regarded as the greatest singer of his generation, he had recorded songs in more than nine different languages. He was one of the few singers or celebrities, who had zero haters.

As the KK deserters made a beeline for Arijit, KK with a far more enviable singing range, found his career in Hindi cinema suffering a setback. KK was too self-made and too self-respecting to protest about being sidelined. [KK](https://www.firstpost.com/tag/kk) died young.

Nakul: When we heard the news and on our way, we were worried about what would be their space of mind, as they were right there to see it. Probably, he was thinking that he will go to the room, take a shower and go to bed. Nakul: In the industry, there was a joke that Hitesh uncle was (Lord) Hanuman to dad’s Ram. Nakul: He used to support us with whatever we wanted to do. During the pandemic, he was happy to wear the mask. We used to tell him that he looks different on stage and there is something about him that changes. He was very humble and very content with anonymity. It’s my version and he was about to record it. Taamara, dad and I went skydiving and then, we went out and ate a lot. Taamara: And, as a toddler, whenever dad used to come on TV, I would point at it. Nakul: Things that we won’t be able to have, like family holidays and hearing him speak, make it difficult. He was a funny man at home and a firecracker on stage.

I composed the song, and I had a vision of what it has to sound like, so I knew how I wanted him to sing.” He was one of the finest performers on stage. He used to hate getting his make-up done, stand in front of the camera, face the light, but he loved his live performances and his concerts, and he was very passionate about it. Talking about “Tadap Tadap”, Darbar says, “KK was an iconic singer because for someone to sing a song like ‘Tadap Tadap’, they didn’t have to be a great singer, but someone who sang from the heart, and KK sang from his heart. The singer was quite enigmatic because of his reclusive nature. However, the beauty of this singer was, he always let his music lead him, as he never tried to steal the song’s thunder. The song needed someone with a deep and soulful voice, that’s why I wanted only him to sing it. The song is a complete catharsis in itself, and one cannot help but sing the song in a high pitch even if they fail to match the song’s notes and scale. I had instantly liked him as a person and his voice was so beautiful, very natural. The makers were looking for a different kind of voice that would sound good with R Madhavan’s “different” screen presence. So, I had heard of KK and I suggested we try getting him to sing the song. The voice quality he had was like no other.

Remembering KK, Whose Songs Will Never Fade (Rolling Stone India)

KK aka Krishnakumar Kunnath passed away on May 31, 2022. “I am not a KK fan,” I once proclaimed to my sister, who happens to be a staunch loyalist of the ...

And rightly so in the case of KK, whose soulful renditions serve as constant reminders of how powerful and uplifting a great piece of music can be. The fact that a millennial, a Gen-Z kid, and a Gen-Y adult cried together upon hearing the news of his demise only reinforces how his music meant so much more – ode to friendships sometimes, to the fickleness of life sometimes, and to bittersweet memories of the past and nostalgia. Where an “O Meri Jaan” was crooned by fans at the top of their lungs, a “Pal” was also slowly hummed by them. [KK](https://www.mansworldindia.com/entertainment/music/kks-first-posthumous-release-dhoop-paani-bahne-de-gulzar-fans-share-emotional-responses/amp/) fan,” I once proclaimed to my sister, who happens to be a staunch loyalist of the deceased music legend. What piques my interest, even more, is the fact that in his almost three-decade-long career, KK made sure that he sang for different actors across generations and had something to offer to everyone. Yes, a hard realization that we’ll never have a new KK song anymore hit like a pile of bricks, but what kept his fans going was replaying and revisiting memories through his classics.

KK's son and daughter thought that organising a tribute gig for him would be the best way to celebrate the late singer.

The regulator has mandated that all loans go directly from regulated entities to customer accounts, eliminating the role of payment aggregators in these transactions. Besides this, Mumbaikars also witnessed a splendid rendition of late artists’ classics by KK’s original band. The concert is the right thing to do. To be honest, it’s a bitter-sweet feeling," Nakul had earlier revealed in an interview with News18. The show was special because August 23 marks KK's 54th birth anniversary. "We thought that the best way to keep ourselves occupied and be focused and still give him a tribute was through a show.
