"53 is no age to die. It is the age to achieve and accomplish, and flourish. It's hard to believe that we are paying tribute to a singer who was performing enthusiastically till late last night. And he's gone. It's hard to believe that we won't be able to ever, ever hear his mellifluous voice," says Shekhar Suman in a shocking state of mind as he bids final goodbye to a singer KK who breathed his last yesterday at Kolkata.
Recalling his first encounter with the late singer, Shekhar Suman says, "I had the opportunity of meeting him for the first time on my talk show 'Movers and Shakers' and he came across as a very nice, friendly, extremely talented, affable person. And when I was making my first film 'Heartless', I made sure that one of the songs was sung by him."
