Bollywood's richest family has no superstars, still richer than Bachchans, Kapoors, Khans, Chopras, once sold fruits, now worth Rs..., they are.. From Kapoors to Chopras, the Hindi cinema has seen few prominent wealthy families that have ruled the Indian cinema, and are responsible for launching stars and producing blockbuster films. Yet, none of them are as rich as this family, who once started as fruit vendors, now amass extravagant wealth without backing of any big superstar. It is none other than the Kumars, owners of T-Series, the family who has surpassed net worth of Khans, Bachchans and Chopras, according to the Hurun Rich List. The latest edition of Indian list from Hurun released last year, and revealed Bhushan Kumar's family, the richest in Bollywood, with net worth at $1.2 billion (over ₹10,000 crore).

From there, the family launched their own record label, Super Cassettes, which later developed into T-Series.

'Aced audition, kept two years in waiting': TV star Siddharth Nigam's mom shares how actor was ditched for star kids for debut film
Siddharth Nigam has steadily risen through the ranks in the Indian entertainment world, earning widespread recognition for his work in Hindi television . He captivated audiences with his memorable performances in shows such as Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Chandra Nandini, and Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga. His impressive screen presence and strong acting skills earned him a notable role in Bollywood at a young age when he portrayed the younger version of Aamir Khan's character in Dhoom 3 , marking an impactful debut in mainstream cinema. A Golden Opportunity That Slipped Away Years later, Siddharth appeared to be on the brink of a major breakthrough when he was shortlisted to play a leading role in the 2025 film Azaad. This project, starring Ajay Devgn and Diana Penty, was also meant to launch new faces like Aaman Devgn, the nephew of Ajay Devgn, and Rasha Thadani, daughter of actress Raveena Tandon. In an interview with Instant Bollywood, Siddharth's mother later revealed how emotionally invested the family was in this opportunity. She had accompanied her son to initial meetings, during which the full script of the film was read out to them. They patiently waited for updates, believing this film could be a powerful platform for Siddharth's Bollywood launch. A Mother's Painful Memory However, their hopes were shattered when, after two years of silence, Siddharth discovered that Azaad had been released — but with different lead actors. The film, which hit theatres in January 2025, had gone ahead with Aaman and Rasha instead. Siddharth's mother admitted that this turn of events caused her deep sorrow. Seeing her son replaced was painful, especially after dedicating so much time and emotional investment into what seemed like a career-defining opportunity. It was then that she realised the weight carried by star lineage in the film industry and how it often determined who got the final nod. "After two years, Siddharth showed me the poster of Azaad and said, 'Mum, this has been released, and these are the people in the film.' Then we saw that the film starred Ajay Devgn's nephew and Rasha. For the first time in my life, I felt bad. When things like this happen, as a mother, it hurts. Then I realised both of them were star kids, and that made all the difference," she told the channel. Siddharth's Calm Acceptance and Growth While the experience was undoubtedly heartbreaking, Siddharth responded with a mature outlook. Rather than assigning blame, he viewed the situation as part of the professional landscape. He acknowledged that such incidents are common in show business and that decisions are often based on factors beyond talent alone. Although he initially felt crushed, he eventually made peace with the outcome, choosing not to dwell on the loss. Instead, he used the incident as a learning experience, accepting the industry's unpredictability and resolving to stay focused on the journey ahead. A Humble Beginning With Yash Raj Films In a separate conversation, Siddharth reminisced about the moment he was selected for Dhoom 3. The call came from casting director Shanoo Sharma, who worked with Yash Raj Films. At that time, Siddharth and his family had little knowledge of Mumbai's film world and were hesitant about moving forward. Coming from a non-industry background, they even wondered if the casting call was genuine. Siddharth joked about how he feared being tricked, referencing crime-based TV shows that shaped his perceptions of unfamiliar cities. Through these experiences, Siddharth Nigam's journey reflects the emotional highs and lows faced by outsiders in the industry — a story of talent, resilience, and quiet determination.

IPL 2025: Anand Mahindra pays tribute to ‘loyal' Virat Kohli as he lifts cup for RCB for 1st time in 18 years
IPL 2025: Anand Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra Group, paid an emotional tribute to the star cricketer, 'loyal' Virat Kohli, as he lifted the IPL cup for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for the first time in 18 years. 'Loyalty like this doesn't just win titles — it carves legacies,' Mahindra said in an X post. Highlighting Virat Kohli's unwavering loyalty to the team over the years, despite not winning the championship, Mahindra said, 'For 18 years, Virat Kohli gave his heart to a team that had never touched the trophy.' 'Waiting for the light of that dawn. And now, at last, the stars have answered his faith.' He also quoted Rabindranath Tagore and said, 'Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark.' Virat Kohli joined RCB as a 19-year-old soon after winning the 2008 U-19 World Cup. He played in two IPL finals as a player, in 2009 and 2011, and led RCB as a captain to the final of the 2016 season as a 27-year-old. His 973 runs in that gargantuan season remain an IPL record. Kohli relinquished captaincy at the end of the 2021 season and still continued to give his best as a batter. He was the top scorer in the 2025 final for RCB, scoring 43 off 35 balls. 'I gave my youth, my prime, and my experience,' said a teary-eyed Virat Kohli after winning the match. The star cricketer added: 'I have given everything to the team for the last 18 years. I have been loyal to this team, no matter what. I stood with them (fans and team). They stood behind me. I always dreamt of winning this with them.' Virat also compared his IPL win with the trophies he won with the Indian team, and said, 'This is far more special than winning it with anyone else.'
