New Delhi, Jan 3: Stepping outside the usual reality TV and entertainment fare that rules modern-day television schedules, TED in collaboration with Star Network has come forth with a new show, TED Talks India Nayi Soch. The show is basically to reflect the social aspect of life and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is its host. Launched on December 10, the show is expected to be lit by various celebrities and one such that attended on January 1 is Mithali Raj.
TED is an internationally acclaimed TV show where a lot of Indian speakers have been present, but now the show is available in Hindi in India itself. In fact, as per BARC report, the first episode of had got a brilliant aggregate reach of 42.4 million.
On January 1, the first day of 2018, Indian women's team skipper Mithali served as one of the guests to the show. During the interaction, the Bollywood superstar praised the player and said, "I want to see you as the coach of the men's cricket team one day."
And in reply, Mithali said, "I always want to give my best."
Shah Rukh had also asked him about his book-reading habit prior to a match, a picture of which had gone viral on the internet during the ICC Women's World Cup.
"When you are on the field, and everyone is looking up to you and the entire team to bring back the trophy, (then) it is not just about the game. So, it is necessary for us to stay focussed... and we all have our own ways to ensure we give our best on the field," Mithali explained on the episode that will be aired on January 7.
"I read books to get rid of pressure during a match. It does help me to keep calm and encourage a good performance," she added.
Mithali is the first Indian skipper (across men and women) to lead her side to two World Cup finals - 2005 and then in 2017. She is also the highest run-getter of all time in ODI format and is the only batsman to cross the 1000-run mark in World Cup games.
