Darshan Kumar, Brother Of Gulshan Kumar, Passes Away At 70 In Delhi

His death has prompted widespread condolences from members of the Indian music industry.

Darshan Kumar played a significant behind-the-scenes role in the development of T-Series, the music and film production company founded by Gulshan Kumar in 1983.

While leadership of the company is currently under chairman Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, Darshan Kumar was previously part of the organisation’s senior management and contributed during its formative and expansion years.

Although closely associated with one of the country’s most influential music brands, Darshan Kumar largely maintained a low public profile and stayed away from media attention. Colleagues and industry members have remembered him as a supportive figure who helped many artists find opportunities in the industry during T-Series’ early rise.
