Shah Rukh Khan returns to television, to host Indian TED Talks

Get ready to watch Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan on television as he will be hosting the Indian version of TED Talks.

Shah Rukh will be hosting ''TED Talks India: Nayi Soch (new thinking)'' in Hindi where speakers will share their big ideas in TED's signature format of short, powerful presentations of 18 minutes or less.

The inspirational talks will be broadcast on Star Plus this year.

''I believe 'TED Talks India-Nayi Soch' will inspire many minds across India. It is a concept I connected with instantly, as I believe that the media is perhaps the single most powerful vehicle to inspire change,'' said Shah Rukh.

During the series, Shah Rukh will introduce the speakers and engage with them before and after the talks.

The annual TED Conference sees a clutch of inspirational speakers and this will be the first time it will be televised in Hindi.
