Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who returns as host for season two of "Ted Talks", says show grips audiences with its collection of real-life stories and is a departure from in your face entertainment. Shah Rukh said show seeks to showcase "good things" in one's life. "People get inspired by good things or ideas rar than new things. A good thing or idea can be said in a funny, musical or serious way. I think re are two main aspects of entertainment, eir it makes you laugh and entertain or it engs you.

"'Ted Talks' is extremely engaging. You meet people, you talk to people, who are t only expressing ideas but are impacting lives also. It is easy to talk and give idea but it is difficult to walk path," Shah Rukh said at show's press conference on Thursday. He furr said show gives him opportunity to listen and absorb inspiring real-life stories. "re are so many speakers who me a big change and y are t talking about goodness and social service. I get an opportunity that I can peep into minds and hearts and listen to m, I am absorbing m. It has changed me as a person.
"It is t in your face entertainment. re is song and dance which we always believe is entertainment format that we like to see on television. But it is engaging, it is absorbing and it is going to make you think differently. All speakers motivate me." 53-year-old actor says his learning from show is that any idea or a simple thought shouldn't be igred as it can change course of someone's life and millions of people at same time.

" whole idea about 'Ted Talks' is that y talk about work y have done inste of us telling you what y will do. It really sounds nicer with ir understanding of ir subject and why y walked on this path. Generically, what I have understood from this is that every idea which comes to you, however miniscule and small it actually is, scope of idea depends on you, how far do you take it."
