KK passing away feels like a personal loss. Last time I was this upset with the death of a Bollywood person was Irrfan Khan.

How can a singer sing both Dus Bahane and Awarapan Banjarapan with perfection. Amazing versatility. KK ??

If you were ever in love, he was with you. If you broke up after that, he was with you. If you found friends for life, he was with you.

KK, you raised a whole generation around the world. #RIPKK
KK¡¯s voice was a coming of age for so many 90s kids. We sang Yaaron at school farewells, casually played Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai when we hung out with our crushes, daydreamed about the people we loved with Ajab Si, and tripped over our own hearts with Khuda Jaane. All to his voice.

KK went on validating the hollowness of the emotions we felt through phases of adolescence. Now the same songs & emotions will make it so difficult to heal from this loss.Unrequited love, farewell to schoolmates, special moments gone by will have more than one reason to cry for.

There is a KK song that has stayed with me at every juncture of my life from school days to first love to college to heartbreaks. Such was the impact of KK¡¯s songs on 90s kids.
