KK was an artist you'd discover in private. His best works were all about personal moments of loss & vulnerability.

Sach Keh Raha Hai, Tadap Tadap Ke, Yaaron, Awarapan Banjarapan, Maine Dil Se Kaha.

His voice was a candle in a dark room, a ग़म-गुसार.

Goodbye and thanks, sir. pic.twitter.com/p28vA8zoDD

Lost a dear friend. So many shows. So many memories. KK was a senior from college. A contemporary of Kabir Khan
from KMC. And someone so gracious, polite and smiling all the time.

I still can’t believe this.
