Meet actor who left acting despite successful debut, joined Rs 8,500 crore company as…, richer than Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, name is….

Everyone aspires to try their luck in Bollywood, but success is destined for only a few. Something similar happened with the actor who played the role of Ram in Ramaiya Vastavaiya. In 2013, he won the hearts of fans with his charming smile, and his popularity continued to grow. However, after this, he appeared in only one more film, Loveshhuda in 2016. Unfortunately, the film flopped at the box office, after which the actor distanced himself from the industry.

What happened next surprised everyone. Girish chose to step away from the limelight and joined his family business. Today, he is a successful corporate COO, managing a business valued at Rs 4,700 crore. Yes, we’re talking about actor Girish Kumar.

Who is Girish Kumar?

Girish Kumar is the son of filmmaker Kumar S. Taurani and nephew of Ramesh S. Taurani, the founder of Tips Industries, a leading company in the Indian film industry. After quitting acting, Girish joined the family business and is now working as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Tips Industries. As of December 2024, the company has a market capitalisation of Rs 10,517 crore. His hard work and vision played a key role in making Tips a giant in the entertainment industry.

Talking about his value, Girish’s net worth stands at Rs 2,164 crore, which is higher than many Bollywood superstars. For context, Ranbir Kapoor’s net worth is Rs 400 crore, Ranveer Singh’s is Rs 245 crore, and even Aamir Khan’s wealth is Rs 1,900 crore.

Girish Kumar is still in the industry

Girish Kumar lives in Mumbai with his wife, Krsna, and their child. He believes in balancing work and family, crediting his success to their unwavering support.

He stays in touch with the Entertainment industry through his work in Tips. The distribution company deals with over 1,000 wholesalers and 400,000 retailers across India.

Tips has produced movies like Jab Pyaar Kisise Hota Hai, Kya Kehna, Kunwara, Raaz, Ishq Vishk, Race, Merry Christmas, to name a few.
