June 4 marks the birthday of legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, whose untimely death due to COVID-19 saddened many fans across the world in September last year. Celebrities recalled and celebrated his talent by heartfelt tributes today. Anchor Bhavna Balakrishnan had a musical tribute to pay for the veteran singer.
"This mashup brings together two of the most iconic voices that have decorated the homes and hearts of music lovers all over the world. Kishore Kumar and S.P.Balasubramanium. On #spb sirs 75th birthday, I felt the need to pick up my uke ( after a long time) and hum some of his evergreen songs and thus came about this mashup. Also, the title 'paadum nila' was bestowed upon him after this song. His voice was the moon that shone bright during the darkest of times for most people. Still is," she said, posting a video of her ukele tribute on Instagram.
Bhavna added, "Fun fact, this is one of my appas all time favourite songs. One of the first few spb songs he made me listen to when I was a kid. We still sing this together when we catch up." Bhavna is known for her ukele renditions of different kinds of songs on her Instagram page.
