Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan joins the likes of Bill Clinton (former US President), Bill Gates (Microsoft founder), Sergey Brin (Google Founder), Jeff Bezos (Amazon Founder) amongst many other remarkable people – to address the audience in a conference at TED Talks (Technology, Entertainment and Design talks) in Canada.
The iconic superstar, who is known for his articulate speeches at various universities around the world, has become the first Indian actor to speak on the TED talks stage.
Apart from SRK, the current edition of Ted Talks will also witness top tennis player Serena Williams and business-magnate Elon Musk - as the other motivational speakers this year.
Back home in India, Shah Rukh has been signed to host the television show ‘TED Talks India: Nayi Soch’. He awaits the release of his upcoming untitled film, directed by Imtiaz Ali.
Some inspirational quotes from SRK’s speech:
- You can use your energy to spread the darkness of destruction or you can use it to spread the joy of light to millions.
- There are so many people in India who would like to come out with their ideas and thoughts, and speak them in Hindi.
- We had expected an expansion of ideas and dreams; we had not bargained for the enclosure of judgment.
- Humanity is a lot like me. It’s an aging movie star, grappling with all the newness, wondering whether she got it right.
- I sell dreams and I peddle love to millions of people back home in India who assume that I am the best lover in the world.
- It has to be you who creates a world that is its own best lover, that should be the future you.
- I looked at my face and realised I am starting to look more and more like my wax statue at Madame Tussauds.

@tigress..
AUR EK KAHAWAT HAI…
” SHER K PAIR ME KAATA CHUBNE SE ISKA YE MATLAB NAI HUA KI AB JUNGLE ME KUTTE RAAJ KAREGEY”.
TUJHE SAMJH ME AAYEGA NAI TOH LET ME ELABORATE..
SHER HERE IS SRK AND KUTTA KAUN HAI ITNA AB SAMJH JA..????
@new era srg
Your Pluto boy’s entire career has been passed through hiding behind papa yrf-dharma but you kabariwalas are blabbering about others….. Hahaha
@tiger
haha chuha just said let the dogs bark he buddy everyone here on indicine knows who is the biggest dog !
Tiger
I m not calling Boi fake
But I don’t understand why they keep on changing footfalls and collections. They reduced Ddlj ffs First they wrote 6cr then now it’s different
Srk a great man and a very intelligent man.
the hater will be Barning
that SRK is first Indian( TED )
He is king and Global icon
Salman and Aamir is to much behind
and Akshay could not reach even in
dreams where SRK standing
The dream actor of Bollywood SRK
who have talent to speak in any
platforms and any part of the world
and whos achievement will led you
to other level where only a few stands
Proud moment for Indians. Fan wars apart, it is a big & exclusive league. Congrats SRK !!!!!!
Srk fans & chameleons go hand in hand. They were keep referring to SRK’s consistency of Hits to show Salman’s flops in low phase. And now they are referring Vivek & Tiger Shroff. Arrey Romantic genre mein Shahid Kapoor ne bhi ek Blockbuster diya tha toh konsa teer Mara tumhere global queen ney ??? Lol
Every time I decide not to bash SRK his fans force me to change my mind. They will never make peace with Salman & his fans !!!!!!!!!
His speeches are very inspirational and knowledgable…he is d best speaker
“…..millions of people back home in India who assume that I am the best lover in the world???” Lol.
He always keeps praising himself and his speeches are all about him or things around him. So narcissistic! Where do you find it motivational??
His speech at Yales University was a lot better, when he asked people to earn money when they have time.
@azfar Oman, SRK 1st Indian actor to get detained and stripped at US Airports, too. That too, twice! How can u miss out?
I feel Canada should have invited its citizen who is a superstar in India instead of an Indian citizen SRK. :P
As he is about to retire from the film industry, he is becoming a motivational speaker. That’s SRK for you. Always forethinking! Nevertheless, he was one of the biggest success stories in Hindi cinema. Gotta accept that
@Oldie Era Srk : But that sher became a chuha on Eid 2016 & ran away. One more thing, A Lion king can be injured only for brief time not for 9 years and struggling to give a HGOTY.
GLOBAL SUPERSTAR.
SRK you are great……
the ambassador of Indian Cinema globally no one can reach his heights! for the actors like Salman and Aamir they keep needing hits! he has been giving hits all these years! this is his level he gives speeches and is an inspiration of millions!!! KING KHAN for real!!!
i guess he paid for this show…. after all he always buys awards….. hahahahaha funny comments never seize to come…. you guys need to rest, he is a Global ICON!!!! so you can burn and burn continuously!!! KING KHAN for real
@hrithik..
SAME HERE BRO.. EVERYTIME I TRY NOT TO BASH SALMAN.. BUT FEW MORON SALMAN FAN LET ME DO SO..
THE ONE THINH I HATE BETWEEN SALMAN AND SRK FANS IS THAT.. ANY ARTICLE RELATED TO THEM OR NOT.. THEY DRAG THEM AND START UN NECESSARY BASHING..
SOMETIMES IT IS BEEN STARTED BY SALMAN FANS AND SOMETIMES ITS BEEN BY SRKIANS..
LIKE WISE U CAN SEE HERE IT ALL STARY WITH THAT TIGRESS.
@tigress
KJO AND ADITYA CHOPRA BOTH WERE NOTHING WHEN THEY STARTED AS A DIRECTOR..
IT WAS SRK AND HIS CHARM AND ACTING WHICH GOT THEM ROLLING..
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM WITHOUT SRK..
ITS SAME LIKE SALMANS SUPPORT TO KABIR KHAN..
IT WAS NOT KJO AND ADI MADE SRK..
SRK MADE THEM..
@hrithik..
FOR YOU GUYS HGOTY MATTERS A LOT..
NOT FOR US..
U BHAITARDS HAVE A DREAM OF GETTING HGOTY..
WE SRKIANS HAVE ACHIEVED THAT..
IF WE LOOK AS U MENTIONED HGOTY THEN YOUR LALLU IS STILL STRUGGLING TO DELIVER IT..???
AUR GOONJUNGA JO LAUTAOGE AWAAZ MERI…
AUR GOONJUNGA JO LAUTAOGE AWAAZ MERI…
ITNA FAILUNGA KI SADIYON KO SUNAI DUNGA..
THE NAME IS SHAH RUKH KHAN
Wow Srk is way ahead no one can match him
@TikTik but what about giving back to back flops and disasters in a decade and even more with few multistarrers and female centric films? Is that what a lion would do? Who was struggling for 2 decades before 2010? At least srk still gives excellent opening and clean hits excerpt one flop in his worst phase. Unlike your star whose movies used to open lower than emraan hashmee in last decade let alone srk.
@Oldie Era Srk : Just check facts don’t blabber for sake of it.
Before 2010 :
Salman – 5 HGOTY
SRK – 5 HGOTY
After 2010 :
Salman – 4 HGOTY
SRK – ZERO / 0 / Nalla
So even before 2010 Salman was equal to Srk and you are saying he is struggling ? Lol
@Udit : When did Salman struggle for 2 decades ? If giving HGOTD which was an ATHG, 3 HGOTY in 90’s is struggle then 9 years without an HGOTY is epic disaster which your gangu teli is going through. Even SRK had series of flops after DDLJ. As per Indicine Salman topped 90’s decade. Period and case closed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gangu Teli sallu didn’t top 90’s according to any trade site. He had huge streaks of flops in the 90’s.Indicine didn’t include Nischaiy, Chandra Mukhi and Sangdil Sanam like Disasters in his boxoffice list which were all Disasters and included KKHH in his list. THat’s why their calculation showed that sallu was ahead which wAas nothing but a “Bluff’
http://www.indicine.com/boxoffice/india/salman-khan/
Also Indicine increased many of the verdicts of sallu’s films in spite of not having detailed data like BOI. Till 2010 Gangu Teli sallu was dependent on multi-starrers that’s why he had some face-saving HGOTY.
