Singer KK may have passed away way too soon but the legendary singer lived his life with pride. It was back in 2008 that he declared he will not be singing at weddings even if he was paid massive money for it.
In an interview with Hindustan Times, KK had said, “Yes. I refuse to sing at wedding functions even if I’m offered ₹1 crore.” Furthermore, when he was asked about weddings, Krishnakumar Kunnath had said, “Oh please.. let that be. I can’t act for peanuts. Years ago, I was offered a film but I refused point-blank.”
Meanwhile, Krishnakumar Kunnath has given us some iconic songs over his legacy. Yaaron, Pal, Labon Ko, Beete Lamhein amongst others.
May his soul rest in peace!
