Tishaa Kumar, the 20-year-old daughter of actor-filmmaker Krishan Kumar, has passed away after a long and arduous battle with an illness.

All We Know About Tishaa Kumar
Born in September 2003, Tishaa was the cherished daughter of Krishan Kumar and his wife Tanya Singh. While the exact nature of her illness was not disclosed in the official statement, numerous reports suggest that she was bravely fighting cancer. However, these reports remain unconfirmed by the family. Krishan Kumar, a former actor who transitioned to filmmaking, is the younger brother of Gulshan Kumar, the legendary founder of T-Series. Krishan embarked on his cinematic journey in the 1990s, starring in several films, with his most notable role being in the 1995 hit Bewafa Sanam.
Despite his initial foray into acting, Krishan eventually moved behind the scenes, especially after the tragic murder of his brother Gulshan in 1997. He took the reins of T-Series, guiding the company until Gulshan’s son, Bhushan Kumar, was ready to step in. For over two decades, Krishan and Bhushan Kumar have successfully co-managed T-Series, evolving it from a music-centric company into a comprehensive film production powerhouse. Their impressive portfolio includes blockbuster films such as Ready, Darling, Airlift, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and the highly anticipated Animal. Despite her lineage, Tishaa Kumar remained relatively private. She occasionally made public appearances, often seen at film screenings produced by T-Series. One of her final public outings was on November 30, 2023, when she attended the premiere of the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Animal.
