    Kunal Nayyar is a great guy and a really funny actor. Sweet and charming! hide show

    Kunal's character Rajesh Koothrappali can't talk to women unless he is drunk. Kunal has no such problem. He is charming and a doll to work with. He brings charm and intelligent innocence to the character of Raj. He is a joy to watch, especially when he actually gets the girl. He doesn't even really need dialog to get the point across. The fact that he hasn't received any other reviews means that he has definitely been overlooked. The whole Big Bang Theory cast is great and I hate to see him left out, because he truly is funny and a joy to watch.
