Shah Rukh Khan is one actor who knows how to charm the viewers
with his wit and humour! Khan, who lately created waves with his speech at TED
Talk in Vancouver in April, has now accepted Oxford University's invite and
will be delivering a lecture there.
Shah Rukh verified the news to a daily. He told, "I
love to talk. Whenever someone invites me to deliver a speech, I always
consider it an opportunity. I have been to Yale earlier (in 2012) and now, I
have received an invitation from Oxford. I'll go if I have the time and if it
fits into my scheme of things."
While SRK is busy with the shoot of his Aanand L. Rai film
and the promotions of Jab Harry Met Sejal, he insists that he will take out
time and write his own speech. "I don't like anyone writing for me. It
takes time for me to sit down and write, given my schedule, but it has to be
done by me. I am yet to zero in on a subject for this talk," discloses
Shah Rukh.
The Principal of Oxford University Alan Rusbridger had
invited Khan in Noveber last year through Twitter. He had wrote, "Can we
tempt you to Oxford University to talk to our students @lhmoxford? They love
you (I'm the principal)."
The superstar's latest TED Talk also received immense
appreciation. Shah Rukh chose to speak about humanity, love and the relevance
of fame during his speech.
When questioned about his experience, he told, "I have
always liked TED Talks and have grown up watching them. So, if I am invited for
it, it's a big honour. I get to learn a lot of things from the people who come
to hear me out. It's a fulfilling experience to stand amongst people who have
achieved so much and exchange ideas with them. Otherwise, we are just in a
cocoon and keep discussing, 'Bhai, India mein business kitna hua?'."
