Every year, many newcomers arrive to pursue their fortunes in the Bollywood industry and although some stars gleam brilliantly, others fade into obscurity following a string of unsuccessful films. Today, we will discuss a star kid who, despite not achieving box office success with his two films as an actor, now leads a company valued at Rs 10000 crore. The Lost But Successful Starkid
Here we are talking about Girish Kumar Taurani, the son of Kumar S. Taurani, managing director of Tips Industries Limited, and the nephew of renowned Bollywood producer Ramesh Taurani, who has backed many star-studded blockbusters. Similar to nearly all starkids, Girish Kumar aspired to be an actor. He debuted in Bollywood with film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, alongside Shruti Haasan, which premiered in July 2013.
Helmed by Prabhu Deva, which was a remake of his own Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana and produced by his father Kumar S. Taurani, however, after its release, the movie performed poorly at the box office. Despite the setback, Girish did not lose hope. In 2016, he featured in Loveshhuda, helmed by Vaibhav Misra, alongside Navneet Kaur Dhillon. This movie also failed to perform well at the box office. Later, he featured in the third film, Collateral Damage, alongside actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, a short film highlighting an outdated practice in villages, which did not significantly affect his career. When Girish Decided To Leave The World Of Glitz and Glamour
Following these repeated setbacks, Girish understood that acting was not his destined path. He left the film industry when he was 27. Nonetheless, his lack of success in acting did not prevent him from achieving success in Bollywood, which led him to join the family enterprise, Tips Industries, alongside his uncle. Reports indicate that Girish Kumar Taurani is currently the COO at Tips Industries, overseeing film production, distribution, and the music sector.
As per Business Standard, the market valuation of Girish Kumar's firm, Tips Industry, exceeds Rs 10000 crores, which is more than many stars currently present in the industry. Girish Kumar's wealth is reported to be Rs 2,164 crores. Yet, he has now also turned into a family man. In 2016, he wed his childhood friend and girlfriend, Krishna Mangwani and they now have a child together. He currently resides in Mumbai with his family and enjoys his lavish and peaceful life.
