Aur bohot zaruri hai ki hum aisi kahaniya dikhayein logo ko. Hum saath me celebrate karein. Main humesha kehta hoon ki West mein unko Avengers banane ki zarurat hoti hai kyuki unke paas waise superheroes hain nahi. Apne paas na asli superheo hai (When delving into India's history, one can find numerous superheroes such as Sambhaji and Chhatrapati Shivaji. These individuals surpass all fictional superheroes. It's crucial to share their tales and honor their legacy. The West lacks such superheroes, so they have to make Avengers. We have real superheroes in India.).”
