Adding yet another first to his huge repertoire of firsts, Bollywood Superstar Shahrukh Khan became the first Indian actor who addressed the audience in a conference at TED Talks in Canada.

The actor, who is known for his articulate speech, attended 'Ted 2017 - The Future You' conference, an annual gathering of Ted Talks held in Canada on the evening of 27th April.

Shahrukh, who had earlier delivered motivational and inspirational speeches as he received the honorary doctorate at the University of Edinburg and Hyderabad's Maulana Azad National Urdu University, continued to charm the audience as he interacted with the audience for nearly 18 minutes about Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED).

TED talks is a prestigious platform which has been earlier graced by the likes of remarkable people like former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, astronaut Mae Jemison, Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to name a few.

Known for his witty responses and visionary ideas, there was immense excitement and anticipation from the audience to witness one of Bollywood's most renowned names.

Not just SRK but this edition will see the likes of Serena Williams and Elon Musk taking stage as motivational speakers this year.
