Sameer Anjaan: KK didn’t want to be in the rat race and that’s why his voice was so recognisable – Exclusive – Times of India

Lyricist Sameer Anjaan is shocked at news of his close associate singer KK‘s passing. The veteran song writer spoke to ETimes and said, “KK was very close to me. He sang Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana from Rehna Hai Terre Dil Mein for me. He was a very simple man and didn’t want to be in the media. For him it was his songs, shows and family. He has two kids who are also in the field of music.”

He further revealed, “He was one of the fittest singers I know and he used to kill it on stage. KK was a damn good performer on stage. He had his own voice and especially his high pitch songs were most memorable. Who can forget Tadap Tadap from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.”

Recalling KK’s journey and his hardships, Anjaan added, “He did struggle a lot before he got his big break. He was not just a singer, he was a very learned man and he didn’t believe in singing whatever was offered. He was selective and he did tell me that he didn’t want to be in the rat race. That is why we are able to recognise his voice and that was special about him.”

Finally, with a heavy heart, he concluded, “Nobody can predict anything and life and death is not in our hands.”
