Actor Varun Dhawan says it's "irritating" to hear about rape incidents in the country and wonders when India will do something about it.

The actor reacted strongly to the recent alleged rape incident in New Delhi, saying it is shameful for the country.

"The rape incident that just came to light in Delhi is shameful for the country. It's honestly very irritating when you keep hearing about it and you are like why are we not doing something about this?

"When will India do something about this," said Varun at the Times Litfest here Monday.

On the work front, Varun will next be seen in "Badlapur".
