Shah Rukh Khan is left teary-eyed after Gurmehar Kaur's words on Ted Talks India
20-year-old Gurmehar Kaur leaves SRK teary-eyed after her empowering talk.
The much talked about Ted Talks India Nayi Soch went on air last week and is hosted by none other than Shah Rukh Khan. The show has received a mixed response largely being negative. In this week's episode, student activist Gurmehar Kaur will grace Ted Talks with her presence. Daughter of a martyr, she will talk about her childhood and how life changed post her father’s death. The 20-year old Delhi University student will deliver a talk about how powerful words are.
A source present on sets told an online portal, “She will share how she has been struggling from a young age to put forward her belief in equality and peace at colleges and education hubs. Amidst the chaos of bullying and student elections, she received immense hatred from her peers along with death and rape threats. While this did not deter her spirits, it did lead her to Vipassana. As a speaker, Gurmehar will be seen narrating her rendezvous with silence after rage and how she overcame it to resume her campaign.”
The source further added, “Shah Rukh got quite emotional and lauded Gurmehar for her courage to open up about her fears and dilemmas in front of a national audience. He wished her good luck and hoped that the path ahead would turn out to be smoother for her.”
Along with Gurmehar, award-winning lyricist and writer Javed Akhtar, music composer and singer Clinton Cerejo, child psychologist Shelja Sen and founder of Project Fuel Deepak Ramola will also share their experiences on the show.
