Google Doodle Pays Tribute To Singer KK: A huge thanks to Gulzar’s much-hailed film ‘Maachis’ in 1996, as the movie ended up becoming the ‘gateway’ film for Bollywood’s one of the most loved and talented singers- Krishnakumar Kunnath. Yes, it was this day in 1996, when everyone’s favourite KK made his debut in the Bollywood industry with his song ‘Chhod Aaye Hum’ from the action-thriller project. What came after was a list of back-to-back hit songs that eventually turned KK into a Bollywood music industry gem. Remembering the same musical contributions that played a major role in shaping India’s musical journey, Google Doodle paid tribute to the singer in its own way.
Displaying a beautiful doodle of KK singing, Google successfully left fans with major nostalgia and some bittersweet pain over the great loss. The singer was born in 1968, on August 23 in Delhi. Throughout his time in Bollywood as a valued playback singer, KK gave countless masterpieces to his fans. From songs like ‘Khuda Jaane’ to evergreens like ‘Beetein Lamhe’, you name it and all those beautiful songs had KK’s soothing vocals.
It was May 31, 2022, when the fans of the loved singer went into shock after hearing the sad news of his demise. The singer died at the age of 53. As per reports, he passed away due to cardiac arrest, hours after a performance in Kolkata. Apart from Hindi, the singer sang songs in other languages as well, including Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Odia, Assamese, and more. Talk about being a true all-rounder!
His talents surely did not go unnoticed, as apart from a major fan base, he also earned several awards. From Filmfare Award nominations and Star Screen Awards, the singer bagged quite a lot of honour. Remembering the same, KK’s fans also took to social media to share their take and remember the singer.
