Actor Varun Dhawan says that it is high time Indians stop looking at the West for heroes as we there are a number of legends within their own country. Varun was in Mumbai at the launch of author Amish's book Suheldev and The Battle of Bahraich, based on story of Raja Suheldev, a legendary but forgotten hero and an unforgettable battle which kept the Turks at bay for almost 170 years.

"It's the time when we should celebrate our Indian heroes and not look at the West to look up to heroes. Around 20 to 25 per cent of our population is made up of tribes and castes and that's not really been represented in books or our literature as much or in films for that matter," said Varun in a statement to IANS.
