KK Google Doodle: Can You Name The Film In Which He Debuted As Playback Singer? Hint: It Stars Tabu

KK Google Doodle: Marking the debut of Krishnakumar Kunnath aka KK's Bollywood singing debut in 1996 with Gulzar's film Maachis, Google dedicated a doodle to the celebrated playback singer known for his soulful renditions and romantic tracks. Google shared an animated picture of KK holding a mic on October 25. Interestingly, the day is considered special because in 1996, KK debuted as a playback singer on the song, Chhod Aaye Hum, as a feature in the movie, Maachis. Although KK sang parts of the song Chhod Aaye Hum, he made his full-fledged Bollywood debut with the song Tadap Tadap Ke Is Dil Se in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), which he considered to be his big break in the film industry.

How KK started his career in music?

It is reported that KK was a salesperson before he quit his job and forayed into music. His wife Jyothi Krishna, who was also his childhood sweetheart, supported him in this decision. KK got into making jingles on keyboards with his friends and also started earning money from it. It is believed that he was once performing at a rooftop cafe in New Delhi in 1989 when singer Hari Haran spotted him.

In 1994, finally, KK moved to Mumbai with his wife. He met singer and composer Leslie Lewis who liked his voice and together they made jingles before KK finally forayed into Bollywood and became a musical icon for the generations. 

Do you know about KK's final Bollywood song?

KK died on May 31, 2022, after suffering a heart attack while performing on stage at a college fest in Kolkata. He was 53. Recounting his career and contributions to music, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X at the time, “His songs reflected a wide range of emotions as struck a chord with people of all age groups."

KK's last song, titled Vada Karo Humse, featured in the movie Savi (2024) starring Anil Kapoor and Divya Khosla Kumar. The song's poignant lyrics have been penned by Rashmi Virag.
