Girish Kumar (born 30 January 1989) is an Indian people actor working in the Hindi film industry. Kumar made his Bollywood debut with the romance comedy Ramaiya Vastavaiya, opposite Shruti Haasan, which was released on 19 July 2013.
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama commented on his performance: "Girish being a first-timer, there are some rough edges, but the fact is, he's photogenic and goes through the rigmarole with confidence." Sarit Ray of Hindustan Times gave a less favourable review of his portrayal, saying "His dancing, unfortunately is only slightly less stiff than his acting." The film earned little praise from critics and underperformed at the box office. In 2016, Girish played Gaurav in Loveshhuda, a romantic comedy opposite Navneet Kaur Dhillon. The film received unfavorable reviews from critics and was unsuccessful at the box office. He next starred in Collateral Damage, a short film on an archaic practice that exists in villages. The film was released on 29 November 2018 and was screened at many film festivals.
