Ramaiya Vastavaiya fame Girish Kumar who disappeared after giving a hit film runs Rs 10,000 crore business now, details inside

Almost 12 years after his debut in Ramaiya Vastavaiya, actor Girish Kumar made a rare public appearance in Mumbai, sparking nostalgia among fans and reigniting interest in his life post-Bollywood. Once hailed as a fresh face in romantic cinema, Girish Kumar’s transition from actor to corporate heavyweight is nothing short of remarkable.

Dressed casually in a white t-shirt and jeans, Girish smiled and waved at paparazzi, looking nearly unrecognizable from his days as a romantic hero. The sighting led to a viral buzz online, with fans fondly recalling his 2013 film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, a romantic drama directed by Prabhu Deva and co-starring Shruti Haasan. Though it collected around ₹38 crore at the box office, the film gained cult status over the years thanks to repeat airings on television and its memorable soundtrack, including the Atif Aslam hit “Jeena Laga Hoon.”

Despite his charming debut and initial recognition, Girish stepped away from the spotlight after just one more film, Loveshhuda (2016). This abrupt exit puzzled fans, with many wondering why a seemingly promising actor disappeared so suddenly. The answer, it turns out, lies in his roots.

Girish Kumar is the son of renowned film producer Kumar S. Taurani and the nephew of Ramesh Taurani—founders of Tips Industries, a major player in India’s entertainment sector. After his acting career didn’t pan out as expected, Girish chose to enter the family business, eventually becoming the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Tips Industries.
