We could have hidden our tears from our dad and mom, however we discovered solace in ‘Sach Keh Raha Hai Deewana’ after our first coronary heart break. Some over-romantic and a bit filmy lot even resorted to ‘Tadap Tadap Ke’ throughout these ‘tough days’. And ‘Chhod Aaye Hum Woh Galiyan’ supported our robust resolve to by no means take pleasure in love affair once more.
Boiling in the identical pot, our mutual feelings are overflowing. A publish by a ‘90s kid’ on today is reaching far off by means of social media.
“Every song (of KK) traces back to a certain memory. Every lyric imprinted into the brain like a muscle memory. So, tonight, play his songs and just hope that his voice somehow pieces our hearts back together,” mentioned a publish shared on Instagram a number of occasions.
