Remember 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 usual 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 Raees actor is undoubtedly the right person for hosting this inspirational show. 

In an interview with a leading daily, SRK said, "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 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 signed off. 

Excited?!
