This season has seen some of the most influential and inspirational personalities from different walks of life share tales of their lives, hardships and struggles. It’s a unique concept for India, but something that deserves both attention and applause.

Reportedly, the Swades star has been retained to host the show for three additional seasons and the news was confirmed by the makers themselves on their Twitter timeline. About the show, Shah Rukh earlier said, “People will share stories about changes in society, in life — whether it’s about the climate, dangerous diseases or to help empower women — and all of this will be integrated.

Rai’s Zero, after which he will reportedly start filming the much-talked-about Rakesh Sharma’s biopic, Salute.
