New Delhi: Singer KK died of a heart attack in May this year in Kolkata. His death was a shock for the entire country. KK is survived by his wife Jyothy Krishna, and their two children, son Nakul Krishna Kunnath and daughter Tamara Kunnath. On Thursday, the singer’s wife shared a painting she made of the two of them together.
Jyothy shared the painting on Instagram, “Trying to paint again. Miss you sweetheart.”
KK and Jyothy were childhood sweethearts, they first met when they were in the sixth standard. The couple married in 1991.
Earlier, KK’s daughter Tamara had also penned an emotional note and posted some throwback pictures with the singer. While sharing the picture, she wrote, “I would take the pain of losing you a 100 times, if it meant having you as my dad even for one second. Life is dark without you dad. You were the cutest most loving dad, who’d come home after a gig and wait to come lie down and give us cuddles. I miss you, I miss eating with you, I miss our laughing sessions, I miss our secret snacking rituals in the kitchen, I miss our farting competitions, I miss showing you my music and little voice note ideas, I miss your reaction dad. I miss holding your hand.”
Tamara added that the late singer’s love is their strength.
“You were the realness this world needed, and now that you’re gone, none of it feels real. But your unconditional love has unknowingly prepared us to handle, even something like this. Your love is our strength.”
“Me, Nakul and mumma are gonna work every day to make you proud and spread your energy, and we’re gonna be strong and take care of each other like you did. Happy Father’s Day to the bestestest dad in the whole universe (red heart and trophy emojis). Love you forever miss you every day, umma, I know you’re here with us.”
KK died on May 31 shortly after performing at a concert organised by Gurudas College at Nazrul Mancha in south Kolkata.
