A brief biography

As in 2023

Kalyan Das, July 26, 2023: The Times of India

Dehradun: Dev Raturi, 46, from Kemriya Saur village in Uttarakhand’s Tehri Garhwal district, a diehard Bruce Lee fan who wanted to follow in the footsteps of his hero, once auditioned for a role in a Hindi movie in Mumbai in front of Puneet Issar (Duryodhan in Mahabharat) in 1998 but failed.

Little did he know then that he would not only make a mark in the Chinese film industry one day but become so successful and well known in China that he would find a mention in school textbooks, his story included in some syllabuses as an inspirational rags-to-riches tale.

Eighteen years after he reached China to work as a waiter in a restaurant, English textbooks for Class 7 students in schools of Xi’an city in Shanxi Province have a section on him.
