He was 53 & this is just such Terrible news ! #KrishnakumarKunnath— Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 (@tehseenp) May 31, 2022
Can't believe that singer KK is no more. From Tadap Tadap to Tu Aashiqui hai, from Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai to Awarapan Banjarapan, from Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai to Aankhon Mein Teri, he could sing it all. The most versatile singer. There is a KK song for every human emotion.
