KK Birth Anniversary: From 'Pal' To 'Aashayein', The Singer Was A Voice For Every Emotion

Today marks the 54th birth anniversary of Bollywood singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, who gave us songs that are part of our lives.

It was a tragic blow for the film industry when Bollywood singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, passed away on May 31 in Kolkata. The singer died due to cardiac arrest. Today marks the 54th birth anniversary of the musician who gave us songs that are part of our lives.

If you create a playlist of KK’s songs, it will be a playlist of nostalgia for almost all millennials. Any playlist of the 90s and 2000s is incomplete without KK’s songs in it. One of the most versatile singers of our generation, listening to KK's songs is like a trip down the memory lane. No Farewell party was complete without ‘Hum Rahein Ya Na Rahein’, every group of friends must have sung or listened to ‘Yaaron Dosti Badi Hi Haseen Hai’ together, and what is heartbreak if you haven’t listened to ‘Tadap Tadap’. Be it the rush of first love in ‘Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai’ or the deepness of love in ‘Abhi Abhi’, or coming to terms with your vulnerability or hurt in ‘Aawarapan Banjarapan’, KK was the voice behind every human emotion. 

KK’s Bollywood journey started with the soulful ‘Chhod aaye hum’ from 'Maachis' and from there on his songs became a part of our life, our collective nostalgia. KK lives on through his music, and on his birth anniversary there is no better way to remember the brilliant singer than listening to his songs, feel these emotions with these beautiful songs:
