Writing on his blog on Saturday, Bachchan said SPB, as he was fondly called, had a "God gifted voice". "In the middle of the work schedule, the mind works at a tangent that brings emotion for the departed - SP Balasubrahmanyam the God gifted voice gone silent. And day on day the very special have left us for the heavens and as they would often say 'to a better place.' The pandemic claims yet another gem, the voice of great divinity and soul," Bachchan wrote.
Bachchan also posted a photo of the duo from an old event and said he was fortunate to meet the singer. "Long years ago at a function, I had had the honour of meeting him. A simple, modest human, despite the immense celebrity he was bestowed with."
"But the work continues .. life needs the momentum to keep moving ..and so we do," the actor concluded, sharing pictures of himself from the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati - Season 12.
