The King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan is back on small screen with a cause. Neither a game show nor a reality one, this time he is gonna host the Indian version of a voguish inspirational video series.

SRK quoted, “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.”

TED talks enfolded the three main elements which form the acronym of TED, i.e, Technology, Entertainment and Design. It is a name specified for a video series that covers unconnected people addressing top issues.

Giving all-inclusive information of the show and the earmarked audience, the King says, “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.”

The actor unveiled that an episode of the show has already been done. “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.”

Querying if the actor an aficionado of TEDtalks, SRK said, “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 it.”
