When someone writes a line like, “The wheel turns and then suddenly from nowhere strand after strand merges to become this delicate white … you bring it to your lips, and it melts away into nothingness, leaving you with its sweetness. That’s what love is like. It comes from nowhere, unannounced … You can’t make it happen. And it doesn’t remain … It’s all in a moment, and I couldn’t bear to let that moment pass”, about cotton candy, you are in store for some serious talent.
After pursuing a business degree, Nayyar turned his eye to acting. He started with ad films in England and then graduated to a nerdy play called ‘Huck and Holden’. The film explored the story of a young college student studying the tales of ‘Huckleberry Finn’ and ‘Catcher in the Rye’. The actor moved to the United States for a degree in business, only to be fascinated by the theatre in the process.
Over the years, Kunal has gained fame for his roles on the stage, and his play ‘Catton Candy’ has been repeatedly played on the theatre circuit in Delhi. But, his starring moment came with ‘The Big Bang Theory’. The Rajesh Koothrappali role was someone awkward around women.

Neha said,
“There was a party at a bar, and I saw Kunal dressed all LA, the star; the glasses”.
He later described the marriage ceremony as, “My favourite moment was seeing Neha for the first time that day. It still gives me the shivers to think of how beautiful she looked. There was something more than physical beauty at play when she was walking. It was spiritual. She was a vision. I will never forget that till the day I die”.
The pair visited New Delhi to reconnect with their roots and enjoy partying in Goa with friends. The actor posted pictures from the airport and an animated video from a Goa bar.
