The film proved to be a flop, but the actor's work was highly appreciated by the people. After the flop of 'Loveshuda', he said goodbye to the film world and started handling the tips industry as a producer. Recently, a video has surfaced in which he was unrecognisable. Talking about Girish Kumar's personal life, he married his childhood friend and girlfriend, Krishna Mangwani, in 2016, and now they also have a child.
