The Indian music industry has evolved, with today’s singers earning lakhs per song and building fortunes worth crores, a stark contrast to the earlier days when even legendary artists had to fight for fair pay.
Despite being one of the popular singers, Shreya Ghoshal and Sunidhi Chauhan are not the richest female singer in the country. Yes, you read that right! This title is currently held by Tulsi Kumar Dua, also known as Tulsi Kumar.
According to a story published in News18, Tulsi has a net worth of approximately $25 million (Rs 210 crore), making her wealthier than many Bollywood stars. Her fortune stems not only from her singing career but also from her stake in the family business and ownership of Kids Hut, a children’s content YouTube channel under T-Series.
Kumar, with a successful two-decade-long singing career, debuted in 2006 with ‘Mausam Hai Bada Qatil’ from Chup Chup Ke. She has since sung numerous hit songs in films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Ready, Dabangg, Kabir Singh, and Satyaprem Ki Katha. In the early 2000s, she formed a popular partnership with Himesh Reshammiya, producing hits like Aksar, Afsana, and Humko Deewana Kar Gaye. Born to businessman Gulshan Kumar and Sudesh Kumari, she is the sister of film producer Bhushan Kumar and Khushali Kumar.
