In a disheartening announcement on Friday morning, a spokesperson for T-Series confirmed the passing of Tishaa Kumar, daughter of Krishan Kumar and cousin to T-Series’ head, Bhushan Kumar. The young 20-year-old, who was residing in Germany, had been valiantly battling cancer for an extended period. Despite receiving the finest medical care possible, Tishaa succumbed to the illness on Thursday.
The spokesperson issued a poignant statement that 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 was born in September 2003 to Krishan Kumar and Tanya Singh. Although several reports indicate that she was diagnosed with cancer, the Kumar family has yet to make an official confirmation regarding her exact illness. Unfortunately, despite exhaustive efforts and international medical care in Germany, Tishaa’s condition deteriorated, leading to her untimely demise at a German hospital.
Sources close to the Kumar family, as reported by the Indian Express, mentioned the grave circumstances surrounding Tishaa’s health. Diagnosed with cancer, the family opted for her treatment in Germany, hoping the advanced medical care would improve her prognosis. Regrettably, the disease proved relentless, claiming her life on Thursday.
Beyond the immediate family, Tishaa was also related to notable personalities in the entertainment industry, including singer Tulsi Kumar and fashion designer-cum-actress Khushali Kumar. Tishaa was frequently seen at events organized by the T-Series. Her last public appearance was reportedly at the success bash for Ranbir Kapoor’s film “Animal” earlier in 2023.
Krishan Kumar, Tishaa’s father, is a familiar face in Indian cinema, having built a notable career beginning in the 1990s.
. Known for his memorable role in “Bewafa Sanam” (1995), Krishan has been an enduring figure in the industry, although his family roots trace back to more humble beginnings. His father, Chandrabhan, migrated from Punjab to Delhi after the partition of India and established himself as a fruit seller. Krishan Kumar initially ventured into acting, featuring in movies such as “Aaja Meri Jaan,” “Kasam Teri Kasam,” and “Papa The Great.” Additionally, he has made significant contributions to cinema as a producer.
The Kumar family’s association with T-Series began with Krishan’s elder brother, Gulshan Kumar, who founded the music giant. Tragically, Gulshan Kumar’s life was cut short in 1997 when he was assassinated in broad daylight while leaving a temple in Juhu, Mumbai. Since then, Krishan and Bhushan Kumar have jointly managed the T-Series empire, upholding the legacy initiated by the visionary Gulshan Kumar.
Tishaa’s life, although brief, was richly intertwined with the entertainment industry’s multifaceted world. She was present at numerous T-Series events alongside her father Krishan, providing glimpses of her vibrant presence in a family synonymous with the music and film industries.
As the family grapples with this profound loss, it is evident that Tishaa’s untimely departure leaves a void that will be profoundly felt by those who knew and loved her. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time, seeking solace away from the public eye.
The passing of young Tishaa Kumar is a stark reminder of the human vulnerabilities that even a family as influential as the Kumars is not immune to. While they have given the world a vast library of music and cinema, they now face the same heartaches and trials that many encounter when dealing with the grave illness of a beloved family member.
In these sorrowful moments, the extended fraternity of T-Series and the fans stand in solidarity with the Kumar family, hoping that they find the strength to endure and eventually heal from this tremendous loss.
