Bollywood Actor Flopped And Quit Acting, Is Now Richer Than Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh
Last Updated:
This actor made his acting debut opposite Shruti Haasan and worked in only two films. Who is he? Find out.
Every day, many people come to Mumbai with a dream of becoming an actor one day. While it is not easy to get a chance and become a superstar, not all those who once received an opportunity decided to continue in the showbiz world. One such person is Girish Kumar. He stepped into Bollywood in 2013 but disappeared from the film industry in just three years. But today, he is richer than most of the A-listers. What does he do now? Let's find out.
Girish Kumar's Film Journey
Girish Kumar is an actor who made his Bollywood debut in 2013 with the romantic comedy film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, opposite Shruti Haasan. However, his film journey didn't quite take off as expected, with only a couple of films to his name. Despite being born into a film-producing family, with his father Kumar S. Taurani and uncle Ramesh S. Taurani being notable figures, Girish's acting career didn't gain much momentum. He was last seen in the 2016 movie Loveshhuda.
Girish Kumar's Business
After stepping away from acting, Girish Kumar found success in the corporate world, running a business worth a staggering ₹10,000 crores. He joined his family's Tips Industries. Today, as the Chief Operating Officer (COO), he works closely with his father and uncle to expand the company's music and film ventures. Under his leadership, Tips Industries has achieved remarkable growth, with a market value of ₹8,533.40 crore as of June 24, 2025. The company had previously reached a market capitalisation of over ₹10,500 crore in 2024.
Girish Kumar's Net Worth Is More Than Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh
As Girish is focused on his business now and not on acting, his net worth today is more than a number of Bollywood A-listers. If a report by the Economic Times is to be believed, his personal wealth is around ₹2164 crores. This is much higher than top Bollywood actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. While the former has a net worth of ₹400 crore, the latter has ₹245 crore. Varun Dhawan's net worth is also ₹380 crore.
