Girish to step away from the entertainment industry. He chose a different path and is now a successful corporate leader.
From Ameesha Patel to Kartik Aaryan to Taapsee Pannu, many actors in the Bollywood industry have started their careers in fields like engineering. However, few actors have left the entertainment world to pursue corporate ventures or start their own firms. One such actor is Girish Kumar, who made his Bollywood debut with a single film, vanished from the industry, and now owns a business worth crores. He shared the screen with Kamal Haasan’s daughter, Shruti Haasan, in his debut film, and its songs became massive hits.
If you are wondering who this actor is, it’s none other than Girish Kumar, who played Ram in Ramaiya Vastavaiya. After this movie, Girish appeared in only one other film, Love Shuda, in 2016. Unfortunately, the movie was a huge flop, leading Girish to step away from the entertainment industry. He chose a different path and is now a successful corporate leader, serving as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Tips Industries, a company valued at Rs 4,700 crore.
Girish Kumar is the son of filmmaker Kumar S. Taurani and the nephew of Ramesh S. Taurani, the founder of Tips Industries. Girish joined Bollywood in 2013 but transitioned to the family business after his brief stint in films. Today, as the COO of Tips Industries, he plays a pivotal role in its operations. As of December 2024, the company has a market capitalization of Rs 10,517 crore.
Kumar’s stake in the family business has significantly contributed to his wealth, making him one of the most successful individuals in his peer group. According to Trendline, his net worth is estimated to be around Rs 2,164 crore.
On the personal front, Girish Kumar is married to his childhood sweetheart, Krishna, and the couple has a child. They live in Mumbai, where Girish also serves as a promoter and executive with Tips Music.
