Four BJP municipal council members disqualified for violating party whip
Mysuru: In a significant political development, Mysuru District Commissioner Lakshmikant Reddy has disqualified four BJP members of the Nanjangud City Municipal Council for violating the party whip during the council president election. The order was issued under Section 3(1)(b) of the Karnataka Local Authorities (Prohibition of Defection) Act, 1987. The disqualified members are T.M. Girish Kumar (Ward 1), Gayathri (Ward 12), Meenakshi Nagaraju (Ward 22), and Vijayalakshmi (Ward 27). All four had allegedly defied the BJP whip by voting in favor of the Congress candidate, Srikanta, during the president election—paving the way for his victory, despite BJP and JD(S) holding a majority in the council. Following the breach, a complaint was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner on October 29, 2024, by BJP City President Siddaraju and party functionary Devu, seeking action under the anti-defection law. After reviewing arguments from both sides and considering that the council's term still had 100 days left, the District Commissioner ruled in favor of disqualification. Speaking to reporters, DC Lakshmikant Reddy confirmed the action, stating, 'The decision was made based on the violation of the whip issued by the party. We have acted in accordance with the anti-defection law and have taken all due processes into account.' This move comes as a stern warning to elected representatives across Karnataka who might defy party directives, particularly in closely contested civic bodies where internal party discipline plays a decisive role in leadership appointments.

This Actor Vanished After Hit Debut, Now Runs Rs 8,500 Crore Firm
Many stars enter Bollywood, shine briefly, and then disappear. However, one such actor is Girish Kumar, who made a blockbuster debut in 2013 with his first film ' Ramaiya Vastavaiya ', but soon vanished from the industry. The film was directed by Prabhu Deva and featured Shruti Haasan alongside Girish. The music, especially the song ' Jeene Laga Hoon ', became very popular among the audience. The film performed well at the box office and Girish received numerous award nominations for best debut. Everyone thought Girish would have a long career in Bollywood, but his second film ' Loveshuda ', released in 2016, failed to impress both the audience and the box office. Following this, Girish distanced himself from films and never appeared on screen again. Although Girish quit acting, he carved out a new identity in his family business. Girish is the son of Tips Industries owner Kumar S. Taurani and the nephew of Ramesh Taurani. Tips Industries is a major music and film production company, which has delivered numerous hits like ' Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai ', ' Kya Kehna ', ' Roz ', ' Ishq Vishk ', and ' Race '. According to a Financial Express report, Girish is now the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Tips Industries and plays an essential role in further increasing its market value, which stands at Rs 8,533 crore. His hard work and business acumen have expanded Tips to more than 1,000 wholesalers and 4 lakh retailers. As of June 24, 2025, the market value of Tips was Rs 8,533.4 crore, and Girish's personal wealth is estimated at around Rs 2,164 crore. This amount exceeds the net worth of Ranbir Kapoor (400 crores), Ranveer Singh (245 crores), and even Aamir Khan (1,900 crores). Girish married his childhood friend Krishna Mangwani in 2016, and they now live a happy life in Mumbai with their child. While Girish may have left the glitz of Bollywood, his success at Tips Industries has shown that success can be found not only on screen but also in the business world.

Bollywood's most unsuccessful actor, never became a star, gave 0 hits, still has net worth of Rs 2146 crore, he is..., his last film was...
In the world of glitz and glamour, as easy as it is for someone to earn name and fame, it is equally fast to lose all of that. There have been times when an actor started their journey in the industry, did only three to four films, and then vanished. However, have you ever heard of an actor who did only three films—one of which was a hit—and then decided to quit the industry? Despite quitting acting, this actor has a reported net worth of Rs 2,164 crore! Yes, you read that right! Scroll down to read his name. During the 2010–2015 era, when actors like Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha made their debut, another face who also joined the race was Ramaiya Vastavaiya star Girish Kumar. For his first film Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Girish shared the screen space with legendary actor Kamal Haasan's daughter, Shruti Haasan. And Girish Kumar is the actor we have been talking about, who, despite doing just three films, today owns assets worth Rs 2,164 crore. How Is Girish Kumar's Net Worth So High? Girish debuted with the 2013 film Ramaiya Vastavaiya. Made for Rs 38 crore, the movie managed to mint Rs 38.34 crore worldwide, which is roughly the same as the budget. This led the film to be considered a flop. However, though the movie didn't do well, Girish grabbed netizens' attention for his role as Ram. He even earned nominations for Best Debut. His second film, Loveshhuda (2016), failed to replicate the success of his debut. After the film received a lukewarm response both critically and commercially, Girish gradually stepped away from the film industry and never returned to the screen. Girish, who is the son of famous producer Kumar S. Taurani and nephew of Ramesh S. Taurani, decided to join his father's business—Tips Industries. He now serves as Chief Operating Officer (COO), which has contributed to his net worth significantly. From Stardom to Strategy According to a media report, Tips Industries' market capitalisation stood at Rs 8,533.4 crore in June 2025. And Girish's personal net worth has been reported as Rs 2,164 crore, which is apparently more than many leading Bollywood stars, including Aamir Khan and Ranbir Kapoor.
