After Yale, SRK to speak at Harvard

Hello Harvard! This is SRK(@iamsrk) speaking

The actor has been invited to the elite university to deliver a lecture in March this year


Last time Shah Rukh Khan was invited to deliver a lecture in the US, it was not without its hiccups. He was detained at the New York airport for a good two hours leading to outrage and furious debates in both countries.

After almost a year, the actor has been invited again, this time to address the students of the prestigious Harvard University.

A source told Mumbai Mirror: "Representatives from Harvard University got in touch with Shah Rukh and asked him if he could spare some time from his busy schedule and deliver a lecture at their campus. However, SRK's work calendar is choc-a-bloc. He is about to re-start the Chennai Express shoot. Though he delivered a pretty impressive speech at Yale University last year (where he even got the Dean to shake a leg for him), the March trip to Harvard is on a more serious note that needs better preparation."

The details of this lecture are yet to be finalised. The date is expected to be announced soon, as well as the content of SRK's presentation.

"Since SRK is an economics graduate and has been in the business of making films and runs a successful VFX company as well, most likely he will speak to the students about the economics of filmmaking in the world's largest movie-making industry," added the source.

Considering how US has traditionally 'welcomed' SRK every time he visited the country, one hopes this time the reception would be somewhat different.

t4s...it wud be gr8 if SRK wud be able to make it😊

he would be awesome!!!
he has talent man if he is not in films and would have studied in such universities he would have topped for sure!

The gems in the Yale speech were near the end about using fear of failure to drive you. It's also what JK Rowling had talked about in her Harvard Commencement speech. Interesting how all these people who went from being zeros (JKR more so than SRK) to heros, all say the same thing.

Those lame jokes are typical SRK and his statements aren't complete without at least one in there 😆 Even the Outlook magazine article has jokes in there...about dancing to Gangnam style.

This is so awesome!!

I forgot about the creativity or the talking about parents part. I remembered the fear of failure most. It was a good speech, complete with some typical lame SRK jokes, but a good speech. Harvard one seems like it's supposed to be more "serious"...ie more lectury.

He's a good speaker and really can speak about anything under the sun...and if he can't, he will make sure to go home and learn all about it so he can impress you the next time he meets you 😆

Not every Bollywood actor has this speaking ability plus he's one hell of a speaker. Yale was amazing and this one's gonna be even better. I'm genuinely happy for him. Looking forward to this
