WWE star and actor John Cena is a Hollywood celebrity who is no stranger to India. He had become a darling for Indian cricket fans when he posted an inspirational quote by cricketer Rahul Dravid on his Twitter handle: "You don't play for revenge, you play for pride and respect."
On Friday, he posted an article on Twitter on Shah Rukh Khan and his new show Ted Talks: Nayi Soch. An initiative by non-profit organisation TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design), the talks began as a conference to discuss technology, entertainment and design, in 1984. Today, the inspirational and powerful TED Talks by speakers go beyond the realms of its name and cover a wide range of topics, including science, business and global issues, among others.
Star India, a unit of 21st Century Fox, in partnership with TED, produces and broadcasts the first global Hindi TV talk show
