'Big Bang Theory' star Kunal Nayyar on his accent, new book and family

CBS premiered its ninth season of TV's top-rated comedy "The Big Bang Theory." Nayyar, who plays the quirky astrophysicist "Dr. Raj," joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss his new book, "Yes, My Accent Is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You."

Kunal Nayyar is honestly a really good actor. The man's pretty underrated in BBT.

[astral]

So in real Life Rajesh has a Beautiful Wife, more friends and is popular as hell
other arent damm!!!!

[jpopular]

It's funny because I came here to see if his accent was real

[chiragjindal]

He is talking so fluently. He must have had alcohol before the interview

[nandininaidu]

I am Indian and it feels so good watching him in the show.

[ananyasreedev]

I feel his potential as an actor wasn't completely utilized in TBBT... He is simply great

[ABo-jrpg]

It's cute how his eyes are shining when he talks about his wife

[blobster]

He talks like most English speaking Indians do.Not all of us speak like apu from the Simpsons you know.not all of us like math not all Indians can handle spicy food and not all of us are smart.

[lizliliz]

he's one of my favorite characters of tbbt

[manuelkong]

this guy is SO cool and down to luck to he Naturally funny

[andraslibal]

Glad he could talk to a girl and not just any girl but a miss India :) Way to go Raj :)

[learn--earnn]

His accent is sooo cool...btw those wedding pics are magic

1:31 "People think I am smart in real life unfortunately..." "But you did goto University of Portland right?", that is the difference. Americans seem to think that going to University somehow makes you "smart". For Indians the definition of "Smart" is a whole lot different.

4:38 "Yeah yeah when I met her I thought she was going to be soo fake." lmao very genuine.

[GTK]

"Is that a porno?" That's savage...

[nandininaidu]

That's how we Indians speak English😍

[bryankbye]

Him and Jim Parsons are so handsome I just cannot

[Myview]

Weird, I also assumed he was an american-indian putting on an indian accent

[kimcremer]

Omg he is so Raj! So freaking adorable !

[dj-mszp]

If I may say so, Kunal was one of the most talented actors in the BBT, if one would only look at the way he dances in some of the scenes like when he took 'Howard' to that "elderly" dance class, the way he moves, his rythm, etc., his "playing" instruments plus his overall acting skills instead of just seeing the "token indian" in him then probably he would be more appreciated for his acting skills. He is right up there with the rest of the cast so give him some credit instead of trying to analyse only his accent!
