Meet actor who made his debut with…, disappeared after giving two films, now has net worth more than Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, owns Rs 10,000 company, he is…
Every year, many newcomers arrive to pursue their fortunes in the Bollywood industry and although some stars gleam brilliantly, others fade into obscurity following a string of unsuccessful films. Today, we will discuss a star kid who, despite not achieving box office success with his two films as an actor, now leads a company valued at Rs 10000 crore. The Lost But Successful Starkid
Here we are talking about Girish Kumar Taurani, the son of Kumar S. Taurani, managing director of Tips Industries Limited, and the nephew of renowned Bollywood producer Ramesh Taurani, who has backed many star-studded blockbusters. Similar to nearly all starkids, Girish Kumar aspired to be an actor. He debuted in Bollywood with film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, alongside Shruti Haasan, which premiered in July 2013.
Helmed by Prabhu Deva, which was a remake of his own Telugu film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana and produced by his father Kumar S. Taurani, however, after its release, the movie performed poorly at the box office. Despite the setback, Girish did not lose hope. In 2016, he featured in Loveshhuda, helmed by Vaibhav Misra, alongside Navneet Kaur Dhillon. This movie also failed to perform well at the box office. Later, he featured in the third film, Collateral Damage, alongside actress Nivedita Bhattacharya, a short film highlighting an outdated practice in villages, which did not significantly affect his career. When Girish Decided To Leave The World Of Glitz and Glamour
Following these repeated setbacks, Girish understood that acting was not his destined path. He left the film industry when he was 27. Nonetheless, his lack of success in acting did not prevent him from achieving success in Bollywood, which led him to join the family enterprise, Tips Industries, alongside his uncle. Reports indicate that Girish Kumar Taurani is currently the COO at Tips Industries, overseeing film production, distribution, and the music sector.
As per Business Standard, the market valuation of Girish Kumar's firm, Tips Industry, exceeds Rs 10000 crores, which is more than many stars currently present in the industry. Girish Kumar's wealth is reported to be Rs 2,164 crores. Yet, he has now also turned into a family man. In 2016, he wed his childhood friend and girlfriend, Krishna Mangwani and they now have a child together. He currently resides in Mumbai with his family and enjoys his lavish and peaceful life.

Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda booked under SC/ST Act for derogatory remarks against tribals
Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda has been booked under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act by the Raidurgam police for allegedly making derogatory remarks against tribal communities during a public event. The case was booked following a complaint filed by Nenavath Ashok Kumar Naik, State President of the Joint Action Committee of Tribal Communities, citing the comments made by the actor on April 26, 2025, during the pre-release event of the film Retro. According to the First Information Report (FIR), seen by The Hindu, the actor allegedly referred to tribal people as lacking intelligence and common sense and likened them to Pakistani terrorists. 'He insulted their tribal community by saying that they had beaten them 500 years ago without any intelligence and minimum common sense. Moreover, he made comments comparing them to Pakistani terrorists,' the complainant said. Attaching the YouTube link in the written complaint, Mr. Naik stated that these comments were not only offensive but deeply insulting to the dignity and self-respect of the tribal community. He said that the content was shared across multiple media channels, including YouTube via Sithara Entertainment's channel, drawing widespread criticism. Investigation is under way.

Meet actor who once sold products door to door, one film changed his life, became a star, was called ‘next Shah Rukh Khan', built Rs 1200 core business, he is…
He may have entered Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma's Company (2002), but Vivek Oberoi's biggest role has unfolded far beyond the silver screen. While many remember him for films like Saathiya and Masti, few know that this actor-turned-entrepreneur built a business empire worth Rs 1200 crore, largely without help, not even from his superstar father, Suresh Oberoi. Despite being born into a film family, Vivek's journey was anything but privileged. In a recent podcast interview, the actor peeled back the layers of his public persona to reveal a sharply honed business mind, one that took root when he was just 10. At an age when most kids were lost in video games, Vivek was busy selling door-to-door and pitching marketing strategies to his father. 'Dad would bring home a product and ask me to make a business plan. Then he'd quiz me — 'How will you sell this?' That's how I learned,' Vivek shared. But there was no silver spoon. In his own words, 'He told me, 'I'm rich. You're not. You'll become rich — but on your own.' The words stuck. By the age of 19, Vivek had already earned $3 million for his first company. He sold it four years later at 23. Today, he claims to have taken nine companies public in the Indian stock market and is preparing to launch four more. On the professional front, Vivek hasn't delivered many hits lately. His last prominent appearance was in PM Narendra Modi (2019), where he played the lead role. In 2024, he appeared in the historical action film Kesari Veer alongside Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi, though the project didn't make major waves. For now, his film calendar appears empty. But even without a blockbuster, Vivek Oberoi is far from irrelevant. His sharp pivot from screen to stocks has redefined his legacy, one built not on box office numbers but on boardroom deals.
