Salman Khan mourned the death of playback singer KK, who passed away on Tuesday night after performing at the Nazrul Mancha in South Kolkata.

The Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam star took to Twitter to offer his condolences to the legendary singer. 

Salman wrote in his tweet, "Deepest condolences to his family. You will forever be remembered in your music. #RIPKK." 

KK crooned ‘Tadap Tadap’ from the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam which starred Salman Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Ajay Devgn in lead roles. 

The song has gone down in the pages of history as a heartbreak anthem. 

KK made his Bollywood playback singing debut with 'Chhod Aaye Hum' from the Gulzar directorial Maachis, and has some of the biggest hits to his credit across languages including ‘Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai', 'Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai', 'Pal', 'Bas Ek Pal', 'Yaaron', 'Appadi Podu' and many more.
