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.

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.

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. First Published:
