Singer Shilpa Rao mourns KK's death. The singer passed away on May 31 in Kolkata.

Singer Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, passed away in Kolkata on May 31. He was rushed to a hospital after his concert and was declared dead soon after. KK continues to live on in our hearts. Many in the industry have expressed their shock over KK's untimely demise. Singer Shilpa Rao, who has performed with KK and has collaborated with him for one of the most iconic songs, Khuda Jaane, is as shocked as anyone of us. Speaking exclusively with IndiaToday.in, Shilpa mourned his death and reiterated that Khuda Jaane would be incomplete for her.

"I was fortunate enough to perform with him when I was starting out as a musician. It was an absolute honour to share the stage with him and sing Khuda Jaane," Shilpa Rao told IndiaToday.in. She added, "He was such a beautiful human being. When he would enter the room, it felt like today was going to be a great day. He was a very dedicated artist and very dedicated towards his family too. He was one of the most beautiful human beings in the music business. I say this without a shadow of a doubt. Khuda Jaane will be incomplete from today, I think."

Shilpa Rao also recalled meeting him 10 days back. She shared, "I met KK around 10days back at a concert and I remember that I just hugged him for 2 mins because I was so happy to see him. Every time you meet him, you feel like it's going to be a great day. Will miss everything immensely."

She emotionally added, "I am really thinking of his family right now and I don't know how they will come to terms with the fact that KK is no more and it's just a huge vacuum that has been created."

Shilpa Rao, with a heavy heart, signed off with the words, "Khuda jaane ye kyun hua hai!"

May his soul rest in peace.
