Mumbai, June 21 Acclaimed star Pankaj Tripathi, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film “Metro…In Dino”, has talked about late singer KK, who crooned numbers like “Alvida” and “O Meri Jaan” from the 2007 movie “Life In A… Metro”.

Talking about “Life In A Metro..”, Pankaj said: “I have seen some parts of Irrfan sir. I have seen Irrfan Khan sir's songs and one or two scenes. I do not remember the whole film. The songs were very good.”

He then went on to discuss the music and said: “They were very good, amazing. I have seen and heard all the songs.”

Asked if he misses KK and his voice, Pankaj said: “Who will not miss him? He was a great artist, a great singer. But that is what happens, an artist lives in our community. Yes. But of course, we miss him.”

After the concert, he complained of feeling unwell on the way back to his hotel, where he experienced cardiac arrest. He collapsed, and efforts to revive him at the hotel were unsuccessful. The singer was rushed to Calcutta Medical Research Institute (CMRI), where he was declared dead.
