EXCLUSIVE: When KK spoke about why he was not too keen on ‘being seen’ – “I fiercely protect my privacy”

In an earlier interview with Bollywood Hungama in 2019, the singer had spoken about what he does not like to be seen much, whether in front of cameras or on social media. While he is one of the most popular and successful singers in India, KK is hardly ever seen in public and enjoys keeping a low profile. When asked about the reason for the same, he had said, “Cameras don't make me very comfortable. I am right now comfortable because I am with you, but by myself, if I have to shoot something, I feel very awkward. I am very comfortable with the mic. Also, I feel the more you are seen, there is a part of you that goes away. In this sense, anonymity goes out of the window. I can still be anonymous in a lot of places. By the time people look at me for the second time, I will be out of there. So, it gives me a sense of freedom that I don't want to let go of. I am a very private person. I fiercely protect my privacy.”
