Meet actor, who hasn't given a single hit in 13 years, now runs a business worth Rs 8500 crore, name is..., father is..., not Vivek Oberoi
In the glittering rush of Bollywood's 2010s debut wave—when the likes of Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, and Ayushmann Khurrana exploded onto the scene—one face briefly lit up the silver screen and then quietly vanished: Girish Kumar. Was launched in Ramaiya Vastavaiya He launched into the limelight with Ramaiya Vastavaiya in 2013, a romantic drama directed by Prabhu Deva and co-starring Shruti Haasan. Though the film was only an average performer at the box office, its soundtrack became a hit, and Girish was even nominated for several Best Debut awards. But unlike his contemporaries, Girish didn't stick around. His second and last film, Loveshhuda (2016), bombed critically and commercially. And just like that, the actor walked away from the arc lights—never to return. But Girish didn't exit the industry entirely. As the son of veteran producer Kumar S. Taurani and nephew of Ramesh Taurani, he stepped into the family-run Tips Industries. Today, he serves as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the music and film giant. While fans wondered why he disappeared, Girish was quietly building an empire. Thanks to his stake in the company—currently valued at Rs 8,533.40 crore on the NSE—Girish's personal wealth now reportedly stands at Rs 2,164 crore. That's more than Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and even Aamir Khan. Now a husband and father, Girish was recently spotted in Mumbai, far removed from the world of red carpets and press tours. While many stars chase the spotlight, he chose a quieter path—one that made him one of Bollywood's most unexpectedly wealthy men.
