"Off to Vancouver... for TED talks," the 51-year-old posted.

 
 

Shah Rukh will also host the Hindi version of popular international show titled "TED Talks India: Nayi Soch".

The actor retweeted this and posted: "I hope I remember my speech."

 
 

Mentioned as ‘actor, producer, activist’, SRK’s introduction on the TED2017 site reads, “With a fan following that runs into multi-millions, and 24 million followers on Twitter, Shah Rukh Khan is at forefront of the Indian film industry and continues to rule at the box office in India.

 

One of the world’s biggest movie stars, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan is also an entrepreneur and inspired philanthropist.

 

He heads the film production company Red Chillies Entertainments, whose Chennai Express was the highest-grossing film of 2013, and his recent film Raees also topped the box office in India. He’s also the proud co-owner of two cricket franchises, the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Trinbago Knight Riders.”

 
 

The introduction also adds, “As a philanthropist and spokesperson, Khan stands up for causes ranging from the environment and water-supply issues to rural solar power.

 

Khan’s nonprofit Meer Foundation, named for his father, focuses on supporting victims of acid attacks through a 360-degree approach that helps with medical treatment, legal aid, rehabilitation and livelihood support.” The conference theme this year is intended to “explore the most pressing questions of our time and to imagine what our shared future might look like.” Hos session is titled ‘Tales of Tomorrow’.
