KK was a defining name in ’90s pop music scene in India, and a prolific playback singer who leaves behind an oeuvre of songs that were not only chartbusters but also celebrated love and friendship and touched many hearts. Here’s a look back at some of his iconic numbers that will take his legacy forward.
‘Pyar Ke Pal’
One of the most defining songs about life that KK sang in his inimitable voice was the title track of the album ‘Pal’. The song encompasses aphorism about living in the moment, and makes a strong case for creating new memories. One of the most profound lines from the lyrics of this song is ‘ Chal soche kya, chhoti se hai zindagi. Kal mil jaye toh hogi khush nasibi (let’s go, what are you mulling over, it’s a very small life. If we get a tomorrow, it will be our good fortune). Ironically, this song was part of KK's last performance yesterday, just a few hours before his death.
‘Yaaron Dosti’
‘Khuda Jaane’
A hauntingly beautiful number picturised on Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor ‘Khuda Jaane’ is perhaps the only thing with recall value from the film ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’. The soul-stirring song summarises the passion and unlimited happiness that love brings and KK’s evocative voice does justice to the beautiful lyrics of this melody.
‘Aankhon Mein Teri’
‘Aankhon Mein Teri’ is another beautiful number crooned in a wistful way by KK and became a chartbuster on the release of the film‘Om Shanti Om’. This song, picturised on Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone tugs on your heartstrings and holds up a beacon of hope for anyone falling in love. The lyrics are undoubtedly soulful, but KK gives this song the longingness and yearning in his mellifluous voice.
‘Tadap Tadap Ke’
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film, ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ was stitched together by many beautiful songs. However, one especially striking number sung in high notes and filled with anger, passion and rage is ‘Tadap Tadap Ke’. Picturised on Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan this song encompasses the pangs of separation and heartbreak, and KK’s voice adds a magical and haunting quality to it.
The only thing to survive the passage of time from the film ‘Dus’ is the popular number ‘ Dus Bahane’. Full of swag and easy grace, this number was picturised on Abhishek Bachchan and was a peppy, and foot tapping number that instantly made you want to throw your hand up in the air and clap.
