Meet Kishore Kumar's granddaughter, who is as beautiful as any Bollywood heroine, stays away from glitz and glamour, works as a…, she is…

Whenever the children of Bollywood stars and singers enter the limelight, fans expect them to make a name for themselves in the entertainment world. However, many star kids neither liked glamour nor did they dream of making a name for themselves in the industry. One of these star kids is the granddaughter of legendary singer Kishore Kumar. Meet Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Ameet Kumar may have followed in the footsteps of his father Kishore Kumar, but his granddaughter neither carried forward her grandfather's legacy nor entered the world of entertainment. Let's see the list of fields in which Vrienda Ganguly has become an expert, apart from her grandfather Kishore Kumar and father Ameet. What does Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Vrienda do for a living? Kishore Kumar, who gave many great songs to Hindi cinema, has two granddaughters, Muktika and Vrienda Ganguly. While his first granddaughter, Muktika, is making a name for herself in the music industry like her grandfather Kishore and father Amit Kumar, and is carrying forward their music legacy, Vrienda has no connection with the entertainment world. According to a report in The Times of India, Vrienda, who has recently come into the limelight, is the elder daughter of singer Amit Kumar, a well-known tarot card reader, physical healer, and spiritual mentor. She runs her own YouTube channel, Vreevolution, where she inspires people on various topics, ranging from love to life purpose and financial problems. She has 6000 subscribers on YouTube. Took acting training with Shah Rukh Khan Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Vrienda may be far from the world of acting, but she has complete knowledge of the art of acting. She has taken her acting lessons from the same John Barry Acting School, which has produced kings of the industry like Shah Rukh Khan. Despite learning acting, Kishore Kumar's granddaughter never tried her hand at films. Since 2017, she is focusing only on astrology and tarot card reading. She guides people in their life challenges and decisions. Kishore Kumar's granddaughter is very beautiful It is very difficult to take your eyes off the beauty of Kishore Kumar's granddaughter Vrienda Ganguly. In terms of beauty with brains, Vrienda gives tough competition to big actresses like Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, and Priyanka Chopra. Apart from YouTube, Tarot Card Reader Vrienda Ganguly has around 5 thousand followers on Facebook. Where her bio says, 'I will help you find your path in life, love life, financial future, etc., through Tarot Card Reading'. She is also on Instagram, but her account there is private.

Best of BS Opinion: Soggy dribbles in finance, films, and diplomacy

There's something oddly thrilling about playing football in the park when it's raining heavily. You know it's not the ideal setting as every pass splashes water, every dribble slows down as the ball skids unpredictably across the soggy grass. But somehow, the game goes on. Strategy shifts. You focus more. Every movement demands improvisation. The mess, the friction, and the lost grip, it all becomes part of the play. Today's writeups hint at something similar. Institutions, industries, and individuals navigating a slippery, waterlogged pitch — trying to dribble ahead, adjusting each move to the terrain beneath. Let's dive in. Take India's state finances. A Crisil report shows revenue bouncing back slightly, with GST and liquor excise pulling their weight, but petroleum taxes dragging like waterlogged boots. Despite the slip-and-slide, states have kept their fiscal balance mostly intact. Yet deeper puddles remain: heavy dependence on the Centre and a debt-to-GDP ratio still high, notes our first editorial. Reform now means finding better studs: tighter GST compliance, digital tax trails, and predictable federal transfers. The game is on, but the pitch is far from ideal. In cinema too, the ball's taking unexpected turns. Aamir Khan's move to YouTube's pay-per-view model isn't just disruptive, it's democratic, highlights our second editorial. It bypasses uneven theatre access and expensive OTT subscriptions, bringing big films to small screens at Rs 100 or less. But success here hinges on how well creators learn to play on mobile-first grounds, use AI dubbing, and price smartly. If they can adapt, this could be the rain-slick breakthrough the film industry didn't know it needed. Meanwhile, on the foreign policy field, R Jagannathan argues India must stop kicking the ball around passively. Modi's rapport with world leaders may look good in photo-ops, but it hasn't kept adversaries from pushing forward. As geopolitical puddles deepen (Ukraine, Gaza, China), India must build influence through strategy, not symbolism. Think of it as learning to pass not just wide, but wise. And in corporate India, the Tata Trusts have moved early to back N Chandrasekaran, like a captain handing the armband before kick-off, writes Nivedita Mookerji. This preemptive support is not just procedural, it's tactical, especially as Tata Sons faces decisions on shareholding exits and RBI-mandated listings. It's a slippery pitch, and Tata seems determined to control the midfield. Lastly, L aveesh Bhandari reviews A World in Flux: India's Economic Priorities. Essays in Honour of Shankar Acharya, a collection of essays honouring Dr Shankar Acharya, thinkers reflect on economic playbooks past and future. While celebrating Acharya's policy genius, the book, edited by Amita Batra and A K Bhattacharya, also challenges today's players to update their formations for a world where climate, inequality, and politics increasingly shape the economy.
