Varun Dhawan considers his father David Dhawan, who directed the young actor in "Main Tera Hero", as his true "hero".

"Happy bday dad u are my #hero. Also, as a gift to my father I shall be shaving of my beard #followthebeard," the "Student Of The Year" actor posted on Twitter on his father's 59th birthday Saturday.

David has, for several years, entertained Bollywood lovers with light hearted movies like "Coolie No. 1", "Hero No. 1" and "Biwi No. 1".
