Singer KK passed away on Tuesday in Kolkata where he had gone to perform in a live event.

Here are some lesser-known facts about the singer who appeared on the Bollywood map Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam song “Tadap Tadap Ke”.

Before he got his break with solo album Pal in 1999, he had sung over 3500 jingles.

KK had shared that he was once spotted by Hariharan while he was singing in Delhi and it was there that the veteran singer encouraged him to move to Mumbai.

Not a trained classical musician, like his inspiration Kishore Kumar, KK had shared that he visited a music school for a few days but it was not something that he was cut out for so his father did not push him.
