In the rapidly changing world of Bollywood, celebrities are born and forgotten every day. Some may connect with the audience through one particular viral social media moment, or they may simply depart the scene with a blockbuster first film.

But, rarely, a few become icons that live forever, not just for their celebrity status, but for the impact they had on the industry.
One permanently immortal icon is indeed
. His name is synonymous with timeless melodies and evergreen classics. Frequently, that offers us paltry recourse to describe him — an undeniable legacy. Certainly, his son Amit Kumar sought to uphold the family's musical tradition, but few are aware of the next generation in Kumar line.
From Musical Royalty to Mystic Realms
Recently, Kishore Kumar's granddaughter, Vrinda Ganguly, stepped into public attention — not as a singer or performer, but as a spiritual guide and tarot expert.
Vrinda is the elder daughter of playback singer Amit Kumar, who himself enjoyed a successful career and performed alongside his father. Amit has two daughters, Vrinda and Muktika. While Muktika has chosen to pursue music professionally, performing in live concerts and continuing the musical legacy, Vrinda has charted an unconventional course.
Breaking away from the family's showbiz roots, Vrinda has made a name for herself as a tarot card reader, psychic healer, and spiritual mentor. She runs a YouTube channel called VriEvolution, where she shares intuitive guidance and insights on all matters from love and life purpose to finances and healing. She has gained a following of over 3,000 YouTube subscribers; 6K on Instagram; and 5K on Facebook. Her bio states, "I help guide your life purpose, love life, financial future, etc.

Trained Where Shah Rukh Khan Did — But Took a U-Turn
Interestingly, Vrinda also has experience with acting. She studied at one of the most prominent acting schools, the John Berry Acting School, that has produced a number of well-known actors, including Shah Rukh Khan. Despite her training and on-screen potential, she did not pursue acting and instead chose a path of quieter variety. Since 2017, she has focused on astrology and tarot reading, providing spiritual guidance for people's life's challenges or decisions.
Aside from her non-traditional career path, Vrinda's beauty has not gone unnoticed. Her adoring fans believe she is just as beautiful, if not more so, than the most glamorous actresses of today, and some would argue she shares their same charisma, though she certainly does not wish to be in the film industry's spotlight.
Vrinda Ganguly is unique — not just as Kishore Kumar's granddaughter, but as a woman who has followed her own galactic calling — in a world obsessed with fame and visibility.
