[FONT="]Shah Rukh Khan charmed a TED Conference crowd on Thursday, sharing his life and playfully portraying himself as an aging movie star grappling with the changes around him.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
Khan’s talk on the TED stage came just months before a version of the big-idea-sharing event makes a television debut in India, where he will play the role of curator Chris Anderson.
In a rare display, scores of fans staked out the convention centre where TED was taking place, some of them pressing against windows to watch Khan’s appearance being streamed to television screens.[/FONT]
[FONT="]
“For years, I’ve been a huge fan of TED Talks,” Khan said, referring to the conference’s freely shared videos in which brilliant and accomplished people dive concisely into captivating concepts.
“There are so many people in India who would like to come out with their ideas and thoughts, and speak them in Hindi.”[/FONT]

TED curator Anderson described TED Talks India as the organisation’s most ambitious television project to date, and expected it to reach tens of millions of people when episodes begin airing later this year.
