Bollywood's most unsuccessful actor, never became a star, gave 0 hits, still has net worth of Rs 2146 crore, he is..., his last film was...
In the world of glitz and glamour, as easy as it is for someone to earn name and fame, it is equally fast to lose all of that. There have been times when an actor started their journey in the industry, did only three to four films, and then vanished. However, have you ever heard of an actor who did only three films—one of which was a hit—and then decided to quit the industry? Despite quitting acting, this actor has a reported net worth of Rs 2,164 crore! Yes, you read that right! Scroll down to read his name.
During the 2010–2015 era, when actors like Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha made their debut, another face who also joined the race was Ramaiya Vastavaiya star Girish Kumar. For his first film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Girish shared the screen space with legendary actor Kamal Haasan's daughter, Shruti Haasan. And Girish Kumar is the actor we have been talking about, who, despite doing just three films, today owns assets worth Rs 2,164 crore. How Is Girish Kumar's Net Worth So High?
Girish debuted with the 2013 film Ramaiya Vastavaiya. Made for Rs 38 crore, the movie managed to mint Rs 38.34 crore worldwide, which is roughly the same as the budget. This led the film to be considered a flop. However, though the movie didn't do well, Girish grabbed netizens' attention for his role as Ram. He even earned nominations for Best Debut.
His second film, Loveshhuda (2016), failed to replicate the success of his debut. After the film received a lukewarm response both critically and commercially, Girish gradually stepped away from the film industry and never returned to the screen.
Girish, who is the son of famous producer Kumar S. Taurani and nephew of Ramesh S. Taurani, decided to join his father's business—Tips Industries. He now serves as Chief Operating Officer (COO), which has contributed to his net worth significantly. From Stardom to Strategy
According to a media report, Tips Industries' market capitalisation stood at Rs 8,533.4 crore in June 2025. And Girish's personal net worth has been reported as Rs 2,164 crore, which is apparently more than many leading Bollywood stars, including Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.

Farah Khan Thought Kay Kay Menon Took Drugs During Sajna Ji Vaari Vaari Shoot: 'I Had To...'
Last Updated: Kay Kay Menon recalls his hilarious dance scene in Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd, revealing Farah Khan thought he was drunk during the shoot of Sajna Ji Vaari Vaari. Known for his intense and thoughtful roles, Kay Kay Menon rarely dips into comedy or romance. But one film where he broke the mould was the 2007 ensemble comedy Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd. In it, he played a nerdy Bengali husband opposite Raima Sen — and delivered one of his most surprising performances to date. In a chat with Shubhankar Mishra on his podcast on YouTube, Kay Kay shared a behind-the-scenes memory from the shoot, specifically from the lively track 'Sajna Ji Vaari Vaari." 'I played a nerdy guy who unknowingly gets high after drinking something spiked," he said, laughing about the role. To make the scene believable, he leaned on director Reema Kagti's expertise. 'She was an expert. She gave me a detailed idea. Once I understood it, my character just opened up." The song was choreographed by Farah Khan, but Kay Kay came in with his own creative input. 'She came aboard the yacht where we were supposed to shoot the dance," he said. 'I reached early and told her, 'Farah, please don't give me those aerobic-style dance steps.' She asked, 'Then what are you going to do?' I said, 'Just let me flow with the character. Let my dance be part of the act.' She agreed." The actor's spontaneous movements during the shoot had Farah doing a double take. 'After a while, she stopped me and said, 'Kay Kay, are you drunk?' I said, 'No yaar.' She then said, 'You had some drug?' She genuinely thought I had taken something. I had to convince her I was just acting. What they don't know is that I don't drink at all." Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd is a 2007 Bollywood dramedy directed by Reema Kagti and produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. Set against the backdrop of a quirky group honeymoon trip to Goa, the film follows six diverse couples, each dealing with unique challenges in their relationships. The ensemble cast includes Kay Kay Menon, Raima Sen, Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Abhay Deol, and Minissha Lamba, among others. First Published:

'I took a loan for my car': Madhav Suresh opens up on privilege, trolls
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Madhav Suresh , son of actor Suresh Gopi , is stepping into the public eye with a clear message—he wants to build his life on his own terms. Madhav recently opened up about dealing with online criticism, financial independence, and his deep respect for the values his parents instilled in him. Talking to Milestone Makers, responding to trolls who questioned his purchase of a high-end Golf GTI car worth over Rs 67 lakhs in Kerala, Madhav clarified that he financed the vehicle with a loan, not with his father's money. 'I took the loan in my own name, and now I have to earn to repay it. I wanted to set that straight,' he said with honesty and conviction. Family wealth Is for family needs Madhav emphasized that his father's earnings are not for his personal luxuries. 'My father and mother have saved their money for their retirement life, and for the weddings of my sisters. That money is theirs and has a purpose. If I ever face a crisis, that financial safety net will be there—but I understand not everyone has that privilege, and I don't take it for granted,' he said. Suresh Gopi and Gokul Suresh in Lelam 2 Instead of leaning on his family's name, Madhav believes in building his own identity through effort. 'Privilege exists, yes, but that doesn't mean I can sit idle. I have to work hard and prove myself—for me and my family,' he said. Trolls, politics, and perspective Madhav also addressed the hate comments and online trolling he has received, which he believes are partly because his father is a (Politicial party name) minister. But he carries no bitterness. 'I don't have any anger towards those who troll me,' he said calmly, showing a sense of maturity beyond his years. Looking to the future, Madhav has just one goal: 'Someday, I want my children to look at me and say, 'My father built a good life for us.' That's what drives me.'

Kannappa Box Office Day 4: Vishnu Manchu's Film Sees Monday Dip, Crashes To Rs 1.5 crore
Last Updated: Kannappa, Vishnu Manchu's mythological drama, saw a sharp drop on its first Monday, earning Rs 1.5 crore. Despite a strong opening, the total stands at Rs 24.96 crore. After a decent opening weekend, Kannappa hit a speed bump on Monday. Vishnu Manchu's mythological drama saw a sharp drop in numbers as it managed to collect only Rs 1.5 crore on day 4. Looks like the Monday blues hit the box office too. According to the latest reports, Kannappa earned Rs 1.56 crore on its fourth day, which was also its first Monday in theatres. The film opened strong with Rs 9.35 crore on day one but saw a dip over the weekend, collecting Rs 7.15 crore on Saturday and Rs 6.9 crore on Sunday. With these numbers, the total box office collection so far stands at Rs 24.96 crore. While the start was promising, the film didn't show much growth after the opening day. On Monday, Vishnu Manchu took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a concerning update about Kannappa. The actor revealed that the film has become a victim of piracy, with over 30,000 illegal links already taken down. In a note, he wrote, 'Kannappa is under attack from piracy. This is heartbreaking. Piracy is theft — plain and simple. We don't teach our children to steal. Watching pirated content is no different. Please don't encourage it. Support cinema the right way." Kannappa was released in multiple languages — Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi — but it's the Telugu version that has performed the best so far at the box office. Kannappa is a big moment in Vishnu Manchu's career. It's already his highest-grossing film so far. His earlier releases like Ginna and Mosagallu didn't even manage to touch Rs 1 crore in their entire run. The last time Vishnu had a solid opening was back in 2014 with Rowdy, which made Rs 3 crore on Day 1 and wrapped up its first week at around Rs 11 crore. A review by News18 of Kannappa read, 'The whole sequence and the visual effects are superbly done, an example of how far our cinema has evolved technologically. Back in the day, the same scene would've involved golden cardboard arrows moving at less than 24 frames per second. One arrow would spew fire, the opponent's would quench it with water. If one turned into a snake, the other would become its predator, an eagle. Mukesh Kumar Singh's Kannappa isn't weighed down by such age-old silliness. Here, the fight sequences and visuals look rich. However, if one were to read out the dialogues of Kannappa and any devotional film from the past one after the other, it would be hard to discern which is from 2025 and which is not." Kannappa is a 2025 Telugu-language mythological devotional film directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh. The story is inspired by the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva and has been written by Vishnu Manchu, who also stars as Kannappa. The film is produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu and boasts a star-studded cast including Preity Mukhundhan, Kajal Aggarwal, Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, Siva Balaji, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Raghu Babu, and Madhoo in key roles. First Published: July 01, 2025, 07:29 IST
