Meet India's richest singer, charges Rs 10 lakh per song, has a net worth of Rs…, not Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam, Neha Kakkar, name is…
Bollywood's music lovers may instantly name Shreya Ghoshal or Sunidhi Chauhan as India's top female singers, but the real queen of riches is Tulsi Kumar. At an estimated net worth of $25 million (Rs 210 crore), she tops the list, surpassing her contemporaries. Daughter of the late Gulshan Kumar—founder of music giant T-Series—and sister to Bhushan Kumar, Tulsi is much more than a familiar voice. While her playback career sparked in 2006 with 'Mausam Hai Bada Qatil' (Chup Chup Ke), it's her stake in the family empire that propelled her to billionaire heights. Diversifying the legacy True to the T-Series legacy of diversification, Tulsi runs Kids Hut, a popular YouTube channel producing nursery rhymes and animated content for children. That earned revenue, for a viral niche, compounds her wealth beyond playback royalties. Melody & money: A two-decade ride Her playlist reads like a Bollywood hitmaker's road map—from Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Dabangg to Kabir Singh and Satyaprem Ki Katha. Early collabs with Himesh Reshammiya (Aksar, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye) cemented her popularity. Today, she earns approximately Rs 7–10 lakh per song—on top of brand deals and public appearances Outshining the classics Even reigning playback queens like Shreya Ghoshal (₹180–185 crore), Sunidhi Chauhan (Rs 100–110 crore), and legend Asha Bhosle (₹80–100 crore) are eclipsed by Tulsi's financial ascendancy A legacy built, not handed down Born in Mumbai (March 15, 1986), Tulsi still credits her sheer hard work for this double act of artistic and entrepreneurial success. Though born into a musical dynasty, she's insisted that her accomplishments weren't simply handed over, emphasising her perseverance and patience. Why it matters Her success opens a new narrative: in an industry ruled by voices, Tulsi Kumar is rewriting the score—melding chart-busters with boardroom ambition. India's richest female singer thus represents more than artistic talent; she embodies business acumen thriving at the intersection of melody and market.

Film awards not just formalities, they deserve respect: Dil Raju
The inaugural Gaddar Telangana Film Awards, held in Hyderabad on Saturday, marked the first official film honours instituted by the state government since Telangana's formation in 2014. The event recognised outstanding contributions to Telugu cinema — both creative and technical — across categories, for the period spanning June 2014 to December 2024. While the event saw participation from various members of the Telugu film industry, several awardees, including Dulquer Salman, Shreya Ghoshal , Prashanth Reddy and Rajesh Kallepalli, were conspicuously absent. Their absence did not go unnoticed, with Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju expressing disappointment during a media interaction following the event. 'We organised the Telangana Gaddar Awards ceremony as a big event, after months of hard work, and made it a success. The CM (Revanth Reddy) had initially planned to stay just for an hour. However, as per my request, he stayed for more than two and a half hours and presented awards to everyone,' Raju said. He added, 'If you are being honoured with an award by the government, it becomes your responsibility to receive it with the respect it deserves.' He also noted that even a busy shooting schedule should not be an excuse and urged artistes and technicians to prioritise such occasions and treat them with due importance. TNN

Honeywell Aviator Hi-Fi Speaker: Lossless audio that can fly
The Bluetooth speaker segment is very competitive, and companies are trying to be different in terms of their audio capabilities, pricing, and even looks. The Honeywell Aviator Hi-Fi Speaker wants to stand out on all counts. With a design that looks like something that would not find itself out of place on the sets of Avatar, the Honeywell Aviator is certainly a conversation starter in your living room. The Manta Ray-shaped speaker has some theatrics too, with an LED ring up front that lights up when you are connecting or powering on the device and even when playing music afterwards. The control panel is on top with connectivity options as well as volume controls. I found some aspects of this a bit confusing, like when you have to press the pause button to pair and not the power button — something I have not seen in speakers I have reviewed recently. But I like the LED array on top that shows the volume levels. You have the option to connect to the speaker via Bluetooth, Lossless, and Aux. The really differentiating feature of this 240W speaker is its ability to play lossless audio. But this does not happen over Bluetooth. There is the lossless mode for which you have to use the USB-C or Lightning dongle that comes in the box. But this had me dumbfounded for days as it would not connect even after I did as the manual asked. That is when I realised — reading another review — that the phone cover was preventing the dongle from connecting fully to the source. Once you jump this design hurdle, you unleash the speaker to attain some audio greatness. It is when you play songs you are used to listening to on other devices that you realise the difference the Lossless mode makes. It is as if it opens up a few channels you did not know existed. I loved how even some vocal-heavy songs, like Mulchedi, felt so rich on this speaker. The Aviator also has a room-filling audio presence that is rare in Bluetooth speakers. Listening to Re Mann from Coke Studio India, I could feel the eternal sharpness of Shreya Ghoshal's voice, as well as the soulful depth of the bass guitar in the background, underlining the versatility of these speakers. This speaker is perfect for either an early morning session soaking in Telisi Rama or a Tagore playlist, while also having the ability to step up for a Friday evening party. However, when not in the lossless mode, I felt the peak volume was a bit low for my liking, especially in the summer when the AC was whirring away in the room with the fan. An app that gives you a better understanding of the device and control over the modes would have been a good addition, especially given the price point. Also, you will need to be careful not to lose the dongle that gives this speaker its superpowers. At Rs 39,999, the Honeywell Aviator Hi-Fi Speaker is one that is good enough to impress even the audiophiles given its ability to play tracks with no distortion or quality loss. But there are some rough edges, maybe because it comes from a company that does not make consumer audio at scale. Still, this is a product you can consider for your home given its sheer versatility.

The Anurag-Prerna saga wasn't just a story, it was a feel. Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii 'Sanskaar…parivaar…maryada…' This one opened with Smriti Irani's narration and was followed by a powerful aarti-style title track that defined Indian households for years. It made every home feel like the Agrawals'. Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 'Rishton ka chakravyuh hai, kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi…' and of course, the melodious 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' theme with Tulsi's slow walk into our hearts. It would be safe to say that Tulsi was a religion. Pavitra Rishta This was a newer era, but the title track 'Pavitra Rishta… teri meri kahaani hai' with gentle vocals captured the simplicity and warmth of Archana and Manav's love story. It felt like a warm cup of chai on a rainy day. Kasamh Se 'Kasamh se… Kasam se…',sung with such melancholic passion, this track became a slow-burn heartbreak anthem. Bani's journey struck a chord, and the title tune lived rent-free in our hearts. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Naagin A complete reinvention of Indian TV! The Naagin title music was dramatic, eerie, and catchy AF. With every hiss and beat drop, it redefined supernatural drama and brought kitschy glamour back to the living room. Bade Achhe Lagte Hain The soft, retro-inspired 'Bade Achhe Lagte Hain…' crooned by Shreya Ghoshal and Trijay tugged at our hearts. It celebrated love blooming in adulthood, gently, unexpectedly, beautifully. A love anthem for the grown-up soul. Yeh Hai Mohabbatein The soulful title track 'Yeh hai mohabbatein… yeh hai mohabbatein…' set the tone for a layered, emotional love story between Ishita and Raman. Sung by Shreya Ghoshal, it wasn't just a song, a soft ache, a slow burn, and an anthem for second chances in love.
