Dev Raturi From Uttarakhand Becomes Movie Star In China. Read His Story
NDTV
Dev Raturi went to China and started a restaurant business but never forgot his dream. More than a decade later, he got his first break in the film industry.
A man from Uttarakhand, interested in acting since childhood and a Bruce Lee fan, saw a meteoric rise, catapulting him into the league of the elites in China. Dev Raturi was born in 1976 in Kemriya-saur, a small village in Uttarakhand's Tehri Garhwal. According to his website, his father was a farmer. Dev developed an interest in movies from an early age and wanted to follow the footsteps of his hero. He ran away to Mumbai and auditioned for a role in 1998 but failed.
That did not discourage Mr Raturi from pursuing his dream. However, it took more than a decade for his first film to release.
In 2005, he moved to China and worked as a waiter in an Indian restaurant. He worked for two years in Shenzhen and drew 1650 Yuan as his first salary.
