After an impressive lineup of personalities like Karan Johar, Ekta Kapoor and Mithali Raj for their show TED talks, makers' hunt for speakers still continues.
For an episode, Freemantle India tried their hands to rope in Ex captain of the Indian Cricket team Sourav Ganguly, as a speaker. However, Ganguly rejected the proposal to come on the show.
TED talks; Nayi Soch will feature speakers giving motivational speech. Keeping Ganguly’s striking life journey in mind, the producers tried getting him in the show.
But seems Ganguly wasn’t interested in the offer.
Or is the reason behind his refusal is King Khan’s presence in the show?
Dada and Baadshah both don’t share a cordial relationship post the IPL fiasco, when the former was removed from his position as a captain from the franchise. Later, in the media there have been many reports about their friendship’s debacle, resulting in conjectures about Dada being unwilling to share the same stage with Shah Rukh Khan because of what transpired between the both of them in the past.
Now, no one knows what the real reason behind Sourav’s refusal is but we would surely miss him on the show.
We tried getting in touch with Freemantle India to give us some more insight about the whole scenario but they remained unavailable.
Sourav Ganguly was last seen hosting a Bengali business reality show ‘Egiye Bangla.'
Meanwhile, TED talks is expected to start from the end of September Sundays on Star Plus.
