<p>In an industry where competition is growing by the day and his contemporaries are getting to sing lesser number of songs, singer KK speaks to Deepali Dhingra about staying free of insecurities and fears</p>

When KK was in school, one of his teachers advised to send his son to a music tutor to learn the craft as he had a good voice. “I went for exactly two days and gave it up,” laughs the singer, who has crooned some of the most melodious numbers in Bollywood, including Yaaron from Rockford, Koi Kahe from Dil Chahta Hai, Tu Aashiqui Hai from Jhankaar Beats, Aashayein from Iqbal and Khuda Jaane from Bachna Ae Haseenon. Pal, that beautiful number, which became a love anthem for many, was also delivered by this talented singer in 1999.
