Bigg Boss, which is currently being hosted by Salman Khan, reports news agency PTI. The 51-year-old actor also said, "There is no question of being a host to X or Y show that all movie stars are doing (referring to Salman Khan, who is hosting the 11th season of
Bigg Boss) they have interesting things to say. I have never been approached for a show of that format. If offered, if I am free and if the money is good I will do it," PTI quoted Shah Rukh as saying.
Recently, In an interview, Salman Khan had said that his friends - Shah Rukh and Akshay Kumar (who, is currently seen as a special judge in TV reality show
The Great Indian Laughter Challenge) are great at hosting shows and it would be fun for them to be on television around the same time this year, reports PTI.
In
TED Talks India: Nayi Soch, celebrities from all walks of life will share their life-altering experiences.
Talking about competition with the two actors (Salman and Akshay) on the small screen, SRK said that he is not competing with any of his contemporaries, reports PTI. "To be very 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," PTI quoted SRK as saying.
"Having said that, I am not saying that our show is so different that we are not competing on the platform. I feel that this (
TED Talks India: Nayi Soch) 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. I know what Salman is doing, he is doing
Bigg Boss 11 and Akshay is hosting
The Great Indian Laughter Challenge. But this show is different and unrelatable," Shah Rukh added.
The show will air on Star Plus channel soon.Few episodes have been shot, which feature noted screenwriter-lyricist Javed Akhtar, filmmaker Karan Johar, cricketer Mithali Raj among others.
Shah Rukh, who was last seen in
Jab Harry Met Sejal,

Jab Tak Hai Jaan co-stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.
