Shah Rukh Khan is one actor who knows how to charm the audience with his wit and humour! Khan, who recently created waves with his speech at TED Talk in Vancouver in April, has now accepted Oxford University's invite and will be delivering a lecture there.
Shah Rukh confirmed the news to a tabloid. He said, "I love to talk. Whenever someone invites me to deliver a speech, I always consider it an opportunity. I have been to Yale earlier (in 2012) and now, I have received an invitation from Oxford. I'll go if I have the time and if it fits into my scheme of things."
While SRK is busy with the shoot of his Aanand L. Rai movie and the promotions of Jab Harry Met Sejal , he insists that he will take out time and write his own speech. "I don't like anyone writing for me. It takes time for me to sit down and write, given my schedule, but it has to be done by me. I am yet to zero in on a subject for this talk," reveals Shah Rukh.
The Principal of Oxford University Alan Rusbridger had invited Khan in Noveber last year through Twitter. He had posted, "Can we tempt you to Oxford University to talk to our students @lhmoxford? They love you (I'm the principal)."
The superstar's recent TED Talk also received immense appreciation. Shah Rukh chose to speak about humanity, love and the relevance of fame during his speech.
When asked about his experience, he said, "I have always liked TED Talks and have grown up watching them. So, if I am invited for it, it's a big honour. I get to learn a lot of things from the people who come to hear me out. It's a fulfilling experience to stand amongst people who have achieved so much and exchange ideas with them. Otherwise, we are just in a cocoon and keep discussing, ' Bhai, India mein business kitna hua?'."
