Shah Rukh Khan To Host A TV Version Of TED Talks

Shah Rukh Khan will return to the small screen with a talk show, inspired by the famous format of TED talks.

We had told you earlier that the superstar is in talks to host a TV show.

Now, we can tell you that the show is based on TED Talks.  TED is an acronym for Technology, Entertainment and Design and showcases a wide array of speakers, from a social psychologist speaking about the ‘Power Posing’ to a model speaking about body image.

Talking about his show, Shah Rukh told a leading daily:  “It’s a televised version of TEDTalks. I have been made to understand that it’s something that has not been done before and they want to try out this concept. People will share stories about changes in society, in life — whether it’s about the climate, dangerous diseases or to help empower women — and all of this will be integrated. There are some beautiful stories — both Indian and international — which the team is planning to get on one platform and do a nice mix of Hindi and English speakers.”

The superstar has already shot an episode and the organisers of the original TED Talks too are involved.

SRK himself is a huge fan of the series. 

“Oh, I love TED Talks. I love anything that has to do with knowledge. I would like to be a speaker for them sometime, if I have something interesting to speak about, that is. I love the whole format, listening to it and learning from it. I am very glad that the channel and the TED team feels I’m good enough to do (host) it,” said the superstar.
