Renowned singer KK’s sudden demise left an unreplaceable void in the industry. The musician who had gifted us several soulful tracks on friendship, love and heartbreaks enjoyed fan following across all generations. Ever since the news broke, several prominent personalities have expressed their grief and shock. Filmmaker Srijit Mukherji, on Wednesday night, shared a throwback video of KK singing ‘Chor Aye Hum’ in front of Gulzar Saab.
Sharing the video, Srijit penned that he met the singer only recently and it seemed that they had known each other for years. He started his tribute note by writing, “In a state of total shock. Just met him last month for the first time and it seemed that we had known each other for years. The chatter wouldn’t just stop. And I was so moved to see the love he had for Gulzar saab.”
He continued, “He said he stepped into the film world with Chhor aaye hum and sang it to him as a tribute.
Farewell, my newest friend. I wish we could have had more sessions on music and food and cinema.”
Take a look at his post:
KK had recorded a song for Srijit Mukherji’s film ‘Sherdil’ last month. The song was penned by Gulzar. Sharing pictures from the recording session, KK had said, “Had an amazing time yesterday!! Sang a beautiful song for my old friend @moitrashantanu ( we made music together, back in the day in Delhi ) written by another old friend , the amazing Gulzar Saab 😊. For a new friend @srijitmukherji , his film Sherdil. Thank you so much for the faith in me . Love the song.”
