Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy in shooting for his upcoming TV show TED Talks India and there were reports that Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai will be making an appearance on the show.
TED is a nonpartisan nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks. TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment, and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 110 languages.
And, guess what? The reports were true as Sundar marked his presence from the United States via a telepresence robot.
The actor shared a candid picture with Sundar on his Twitter handle.

He tweeted, “One of my favouritest ppl in the world.The very funny innovator boss man @sundarpichai graces @TEDTalksIndia.Thx man.”
The episode was reportedly shot on August 28, 2017.
In 2014, during the release of ‘Happy New Year’, Shah Rukh Khan joined Sundar Pichai as a guest for a Fireside Chat at Googleplex. The show was one of the most hilarious and amazing interactions.
And now after 3 years, the two will be seen reversing roles as SRK will be interviewing Sundar Pichai and ask him about his journey. It will be fascinating to see two of them together.
Ted Talks India will follow the international format wherein the speaker will present their talk for 18 minutes in front of 100 people.
About the show, Shah Rukh had earlier said, “People will share stories about changes in society, in life — whether it’s about the climate, dangerous diseases or to help empower women — and all of this will be integrated. There are some beautiful stories — both Indian and international — which the team is planning to get on one platform and do a nice mix of Hindi and English speakers. I feel it will be a niche show.”The influential video show will have several guest speakers like Rajinikanth, Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor, AR Rahman, Mithali Raj and Javed Akhtar.
