News Mania Desk/Agnibeena Ghosh/19th July 2024
Tishaa Kumar, the daughter of actor-producer Krishna Kumar and cousin to T-Series chairperson Bhushan Kumar, tragically passed away on July 18. She was 20 years old and had been battling a prolonged illness, reportedly cancer, according to sources.
The family issued a statement confirming her death, asking for privacy during this challenging time. The statement read, “Tishaa Kumar, daughter of Krishan Kumar, passed away yesterday after a prolonged battle with an illness. This is a difficult time for the family, and we kindly request that the family’s privacy is respected.”
Tishaa Kumar had been receiving treatment for cancer in Germany, where she ultimately passed away. Sources close to the family revealed that the decision to seek treatment abroad was made in hopes of securing the best possible care. The loss has deeply affected her family and close associates.
Born on September 6, 2003, Tishaa was the daughter of Krishna Kumar and Tanya Singh. Despite her family’s prominence in the Indian film industry, Tishaa maintained a low profile and rarely made public appearances. However, she was seen at various T-Series film events, including her last known public appearance at the premiere of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Animal in November 2023. This event, which featured Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, saw Tishaa walking the red carpet alongside her father, Krishan Kumar.
Krishan Kumar is a notable figure in the Indian film industry, recognized for his roles as both an actor and producer. He is well-known for his performance in the 1995 film Bewafa Sanam and his co-ownership of T-Series, one of the largest music and film production companies in India. T-Series has produced numerous successful films, including Ready, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Thappad, and Animal, which have all contributed to the company’s significant influence in the entertainment sector.
Tishaa’s passing is a significant loss to both her family and the broader film community. Her understated presence at industry events and her support for T-Series films highlighted her role within the family’s entertainment legacy, even though she preferred to stay out of the limelight.
As her family navigates this difficult period, the film industry and fans alike are extending their condolences and support. The loss of Tishaa Kumar is felt deeply by those who knew her, and her memory will be cherished by her family and those who had the privilege of crossing paths with her.
The family’s request for privacy during this time underscores the personal nature of their grief, and they hope to honor Tishaa’s memory with the respect and dignity she deserves.
