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).
