TIL Desk Bollywood/ Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who will be back on the small screen with TED Talks India: Nayi Soch next month, says it’s an initiative to open people’s minds to the power of ideas, which he calls the “new cool currency”. The Hindi TV talk show created in partnership with TED, a non-profit organisation, will go on air on December 10 on Star Plus.
“Ideas are the new cool currency, the new rock n roll. This show is a unique and powerful initiative towards opening people’s minds to the power of ideas and encouraging ‘Nayi Soch’. An idea can inspire you with limitless possibilities, give you an alternative perspective to look at oneself, one’s surroundings and future,” Shah Rukh said in a statement.
The Hindi TV talk show, to be aired on Star Plus, is created in partnership with TED, a non-profit organisation devoted to “ideas worth spreading”. It will feature speakers from various fields sharing ideas in TED’s signature format of short, powerful talks. This is the first time TED is collaborating with a major network to produce a TV series featuring original “TED Talks” in Hindi.
