Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently charmed the TED conference crowd where he spoke about his reputation as the King of Romance in India and being an ageing star who is grappling with all the changes around him.

SRK also discussed how he has been a fan of TED Talks since years and that, “There are so many people in India who would like to come out with their ideas and thoughts, and speak them in Hindi”.

And if you thought SRK’s fan following is only limited to India, think again. For this event, a number of fans flocked outside the TED venue (Vancouver)  to get one glimpse of the superstar. Although the TED Talk video is not out yet, you can still get a glimpse of what’s in store. 

Take a look at what the superstar had to say at his first ever TED Talk.
