Recall Shah Rukh Khan hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati and Kya
Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? SRK is back again to rule the small screen with
something different than the normal reality shows.
This time, the King of Bollywood, who is witty and reads a
lot, has got a chance to host TEDTalks. Well, it's a show where expert speakers
talk about their field of knowledge and the SRK is unquestionably the right
person for hosting this inspirational show.
In an interview with a famous tabloid, SRK told, "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. I feel it will be a niche show."
He further added, "We shot one episode and we are still
doing a lot of focus screening because it’s something that should be done with
love. All the people from TED are keen that I do it. So let’s see if we are
able to pull it off. We will decide again after we check out one episode. It
should play out well on television. It should not take away from the integrity
of the series. And it should not take away from entertaining a little more on
TV because it can be a serious platform."
"Oh, I love TEDTalks. 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," SRK shared and ended
conversation.
