This Actor Vanished After Hit Debut, Now Runs Rs 8,500 Crore Firm
Many stars enter Bollywood, shine briefly, and then disappear. However, one such actor is Girish Kumar, who made a blockbuster debut in 2013 with his first film ' Ramaiya Vastavaiya ', but soon vanished from the industry. The film was directed by Prabhu Deva and featured Shruti Haasan alongside Girish. The music, especially the song ' Jeene Laga Hoon ', became very popular among the audience. The film performed well at the box office and Girish received numerous award nominations for best debut. Everyone thought Girish would have a long career in Bollywood, but his second film ' Loveshuda ', released in 2016, failed to impress both the audience and the box office. Following this, Girish distanced himself from films and never appeared on screen again. Although Girish quit acting, he carved out a new identity in his family business. Girish is the son of Tips Industries owner Kumar S. Taurani and the nephew of Ramesh Taurani. Tips Industries is a major music and film production company, which has delivered numerous hits like ' Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai ', ' Kya Kehna ', ' Roz ', ' Ishq Vishk ', and ' Race '. According to a Financial Express report, Girish is now the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Tips Industries and plays an essential role in further increasing its market value, which stands at Rs 8,533 crore. His hard work and business acumen have expanded Tips to more than 1,000 wholesalers and 4 lakh retailers. As of June 24, 2025, the market value of Tips was Rs 8,533.4 crore, and Girish's personal wealth is estimated at around Rs 2,164 crore. This amount exceeds the net worth of Ranbir Kapoor (400 crores), Ranveer Singh (245 crores), and even Aamir Khan (1,900 crores). Girish married his childhood friend Krishna Mangwani in 2016, and they now live a happy life in Mumbai with their child. While Girish may have left the glitz of Bollywood, his success at Tips Industries has shown that success can be found not only on screen but also in the business world.

Shruti Haasan says Justin Bieber's Baby put her off: ‘I don't like his music, not my kind of pop''
Shruti Haasan recently appeared on Ranveer Allahbadia podcast and got candid about several aspects of her life—why she's chosen not to marry, her take on motherhood, and more. She was also asked about her perspective on mental health, where the host brought up pop star Justin Bieber, who had dropped his seventh studio album SWAG that very day. Bieber had been in the news for his mental health struggles, including a recent outburst at the paparazzi. Shruti's said, she is 'not a fan,' but called mental health problem 'a global issue.' Also read: Justin Bieber reveals full tracklist for new album SWAG; Hailey Bieber shares fierce message for 'losers' During one of the segments on The Ranveer Show, the host asked Shruti, 'Do you like Justin Bieber? He seems to be going through something,' referring to the popstar's ongoing struggle with mental health. He then asked if she had seen those videos. Shruti nodded and said yes. She continued, 'I've always said, and this isn't to play the 'boohoo' card, right now, the world is in a very challenging space for everyone. I think everyone's going through something. It's just that when you put a camera on it, it becomes more obvious. But I promise you, it's not a Justin Bieber thing, it's a planetary problem right now.' That said, Shruti made it clear, she doesn't know Bieber personally, and she's not into his music either, so she didn't want to offer a strong opinion. But when asked why she's not into his music, she said, 'Because it's too happy,' leaving the host slightly puzzled. She explained, 'His music's too happy. I think I heard that first song of his, that put me off. Baby, I think.' She clarified that she does like pop and follows plenty of pop artists, just not Bieber. 'Maybe his stuff's just not my kind of pop,' she added. In the later part of the interview, the Ramaiya Vastavaiya star opened up about how she deals with dark phases and recalled the one lesson her father, Kamal Haasan, always reminds her of. 'Honestly, and I've said this in so many interviews, the advice he consistently gives me is: 'Don't be afraid of pain. No pain, no gain.' If there's something challenging in front of you, face it. Take it on. Of course, be practical,don't hurt yourself, but still, no pain, no gain. You shouldn't be scared of challenges,' she shared. Also read: 'Genius' Justin Bieber secretly licenses paparazzi showdown, signs NDA with photo agency for new album track Bieber, on the other hand, ended his four-year music hiatus with the newly released SWAG. Across the 21-track rollout, the popstar opened up about his mental health struggles and even addressed his marital issues. Rumours of a split between Bieber and Hailey have surfaced multiple times, with the Rhode founder brushing them off several time. But in the new track, Bieber makes it clear, he's not walking away. While subtly confirming they've had their share of problems, he draws the line there. The couple welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, last year.
