TED Talks India is the first television series produced by TED network
TED Talks India's competition is with itself: Shah Rukh Khan
What Salman and Akshay are doing is the league of its own: SRK
"Having said that, I am not saying that our show is so different that we are not competing on the platform. I feel that this (TED Talks India: Nayi Soch) really is a different kind of platform where it has a different sensibility. I am not saying what they are doing is old, has been there and done dead. I know what Salman is doing, he is doing Bigg Boss 11 and Akshay is hosting The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. But this show is different and unrelatable," Shah Rukh added.
TED Talks India: Nayi Soch is first-of-its-kind talk show created in partnership with TED. The show, like the TED Talk conferences, will feature speakers from various fields sharing ideas in TED's signature format. But it is different from the TED Talk conferences, which are broadcasted by company independently and not vis-a-vis a television show. The Shah Rukh-hosted version is the network's first TV series.
Of the show's concept and 'real competitor' Shah Rukh told IANS: "I think this will be running in a league of its own and not competing with anyone. It is generally a very hopeful and inspiring show. It will have entertainment. It is not plugged in to get ratings or audiences. The show is about sharing ideas. Hopefully we will be competing with ourselves for what a TED Talks' has created over the years."
Shah Rukh Khan is currently filming Aanand L Rai's next film. He was last seen in Jab Harry Met Sejal.
