Shah Rukh Khan is all set to make his television return as he brings the prestigious TED Talks to India. TED Talks India: Nayi Soch which will be hosted by SRK will see some successful personalities from all walks of life as they give motivational speeches and talk in detail about their success story. Shah Rukh himself was a speaker at a TED Talk session in Vancouver, Canada. 

Speaking of TED Talks India, there were reports stating that acclaimed writer-lyricist Javed Akhtar would be the first guest on the show. Talking about it, a source stated to the daily, "Javed Saab has already shot for the episode. The poet and writer-lyricist who is known for scripting films like Sholay and Deewar as well as songs like Panchi, Nadiya, Pavan Ke Jhoke (Border) and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh (1942 A Love Story) among others, has spoken about the power of words."

However, it will not be Javed Akhtar but Shah Rukh's best friend and celebrated filmmaker Karan Johar who will be the first guest on the show. A source in the know revealed to us, "Karan Johar is the first guest on TED Talks India: Nayi Soch. Karan will be shooting for the show today with Shah Rukh." 

Now, this is indeed exciting! Wouldn't you agree!?

Other celebrities who are reportedly going to be guest speakers on the show include music maestro A R Rahman, Indian Women's Cricket team captain Mithali Raj, Ekta Kapoor, Rajinikanth amongst others. The show will air from October post-Diwali on Sundays, respectively.
