Krishnakumar Kunnath, popularly known as KK, would have turned 55 today. Survived by his wife Jyoti, son Nakul and daughter Taamara, the veteran singer left for his heavenly abode on May 31, 2022, after suffering a sudden cardiac arrest in Kolkata. On his birth anniversary, Taamara shared an old picture with her father and remembered him fondly.
Taamara shared the picture on Instagram and wrote, "Happy birthday dad, love you more than I'll ever be able to explain. Miss you so much, thanks for coming back to life at least in my dreams. I hope we can eat cake together again sometime." KK can be seen teaching her to play the piano. Taamara sat on his lap and smiled for the camera.

On his birth anniversary last year, she shared yet another beautiful picture. Her caption read, "Happy birthday dad, gonna miss wishing you 500 times today. And miss waking up and eating cake with you, hope you're eating as much cake as you want to up there. And don't worry we're not gonna let mom feel sad today, we'll annoy her so she's angry. Hope you can hear us sing tonight dad, it's all for you."
Following their father's footsteps, Taamara and Nakul are pursuing music. They're singers. On KK's birth anniversary in 2022, Taamara and Nakul organised a special concert to pay tribute to the legendary singer. They also teamed up with Shaan, Benny Dayal and Dhvani Bhanushali to recreate KK's popular song Yaaron in his memory.
KK suffered a heart attack due to an 80% blockage in the artery. He complained of pain in his arm before the concert. During the performance, he experienced discomfort and was rushed to a hospital. The venue where the performance was held was overcrowded. It reportedly accommodated more people than its capacity. The air conditioner wasn't functioning due to the crowd. The management was questioned. Singers across the country spoke about the poor conditions under which they are expected to perform.
