Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK to the massive generation of audiophiles was known for his magical melody and soothing voice. He is credited to have composed over hundreds of jingles, songs and other musical pieces, which continue to reverberate in the hearts of his ardent listeners. Unfortunately, his tragic demise while performing on stage on May 31, 2022 left millions of his fans shell shocked and heartbroken, as they couldn’t fathom such a huge loss to the musical industry.
August 23, 2023 happens to be the birthday of the much-loved singer, KK, who would have turned 55 this year. Unfortunately, as his demise has left a gaping hole in the hearts of his ardent listeners, it is his daughter, Taamara who has now penned an emotional birthday wish for her late father. Taking to her IG handle, Taamara dropped a throwback childhood picture of herself along with KK. The little girl back then could be seen flaunting a huge smile as she tried her hand on the piano, while sitting on her father’s lap. Along with it, she penned an emotional note, that could be read as:
“Happy birthday dad, love you more than I’ll ever be able to explain. Miss you so much, thanks for coming back to life at least in my dreams. I hope we can eat cake together again sometime.”

After KK, it is his talented children, Nakul and Taamara, who have followed into his footsteps and have been charming massive audiences with their musical melodies. In one of his earlier interviews with News18, KK’s son, Nakul had opened up about the painful and traumatising moment, when he was informed of his father’s sudden demise. He had mentioned:
“When the doctor called me up and told that dad is no more, I didn’t know how to react. I couldn’t even cry because I couldn’t process what was happening."
Last year, on August 23, 2022, KK’s wife, Jyothi had taken to her IG handle, and dropped a precious picture of her husband from one of his performances. In the picture, KK could be seen standing while facing the audience, and his hand spread wide open. Along with it, she penned a note and expressed her feelings, that could be read as, “Happy Birthday Sweetheart. Love you, miss you sooo much, it hurts.”

Whenever we remember the best melodies of KK, we cannot ignore some of the special duets he sang along with his best buddy and colleague, Shaan. Songs like Dus Bahaane, It’s The Time To Disco among others are still chartbusting hits on the playlist of every audiophile. Recalling the moments he spent with KK, Shaan, in one of his interviews with the Hindustan Times had said:
“KK and I were like family. So when I heard the news about his death last year, I was in disbelief. I thought it was a prank. But when I realised it was true, I was shattered. He was among the most disciplined people around. He wouldn’t smoke or drink, and was perfect as far as striking a work-life balance was concerned. The fact that he’d get a heart attack was something no one could believe. I can’t believe it’s been a year since he left us.”
Happiest birthday KK!
