Actor Shah Rukh Khan, who is returning to the small screen with the upcoming TV show 'Ted Talks India-Nayi Soch', feels that he isn't competing with fellow actors, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, as they have their own thing going. When quizzed about this topic at the launch of the show, Shah Rukh stated, "To be honest, Salman and Akshay, what they are doing, they are in the league of their own. I am not even competing with them. They are doing wonderfully well."
Talking about the show, he further added, "I know what Salman is doing, he is doing a 'Bigg Boss 11' and Akshay is hosting 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge'. But this show is different and unrelatable. I am not saying that our show is so different that we are not competing on the platform. I feel that this ('TED Talks') really is a different kind of platform where it has a different sensibility. I am not saying what they are doing is old, has been there and done dead."
When asked about the concept of the show, he stated, "It is an extremely hopeful and inspiring show. It will have entertainment, but it's not plugged in to get a decided amount of ratings or viewership. We will be only competing with ourselves. What Ted Talks and Star have done over the years, we are trying to do better and give our best in every way."
