| Gulshan came from a modest Punjabi family background with his father working as a juice seller in Daryaganj, Delhi. |
| Kumar assisted his father in the family business when he was younger. |
| His business ventures included manufacturing audio cassettes, agarbattis, bottled water, detergents, and ceiling fans. |
| Success in the audio cassettes business led him to start his own label, initially known as 'Super Cassettes Industries Ltd,' later renamed 'T-Series.' |
| Although T-Series began in Delhi, Kumar later moved the company to Mumbai. |
| He played a significant role in launching the careers of Nadeem-Shravan, Kumar Sanu, Anuradha Paudwal, and Sonu Nigam in Bollywood. |
| In 1985, T-Series released its first Bollywood film soundtrack for 'Lallu Ram.' |
| Known for his devotion, he appeared in various devotional song videos. |
| Tragically, on 12 August 1997, he was fatally shot outside the Jeeteshwar Mahadev Mandir in Andheri, Mumbai. |
| Following his death, his son Bhushan Kumar assumed control of T-Series at the age of 19. |
