This Shy Nerd Fell in Love with a Beauty Queen

Kunal Nayyar fell deeply in love with the beauty queen.

The shy nerd from “The Big Bang Theory “was head over heels for one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Could he win her over?

Kunal Nayyar became famous in Hollywood playing Rajesh Koothrappali, a shy Indian nerd, in the TV series ‘The Big Bang Theory’. Raj’s personality is not that different from Kunal’s.

“ There are a few things about geek culture that I love. I think I do dress up a little differently. But we definitely do have some similarities. “

But, unlike his character, he’s not afraid to talk to women. And thanks to that, he lived an experience that changed his life.

In 2009, Kunal met Neha Kapur, who had been Miss India three years before.It was his cousin who insisted he met with the former miss.

“ She’s an ex-Miss India . You need to meet her,’ said my cousin .‘Ex’? can’t you just introduce me to the current one?’ I joked”

When he finally got face-to-face with her, he was breathless .

“My first thought was, This is the most beautiful woman I ever seen.”

But you quickly lost hope...

“My second thought was, She’s way out of my league.”

They met at a bar to talk and felt a connection they had never felt before in their lives ...

“ 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 . “

Kunal would go back to the USA in 9 days . And he decided to spend this time with her in New Delhi .

On his last day, Kunal gave her a romantic ultimatum ...

“ We could say, ‘it’s been a lovely 10 days and goodbye,’ or we could ... I said, ‘ Listen, I’m i the middle of my shooting season, i can’t come back to India till April. If this something we want to do, we have to do it now. “

3 weeks later, she flew to Los Angeles. They started dating and, in 2011, they got married in India .

“ Kunal makes everyone feel very safe. He should be the first phone call when you need someone. I think I was always ready to marry him. “

Now, after years of marriage, Kunal likes to joke about the secret of the couple’s happy marriage.

“ The secret of our marriage is that we have two televisions in the master bedroom. Another secret to marriage, I’ve learned, is to say ‘yes’ to everything. So she gets to, basically, watch everything she wants and the big TV and I just sit there and say yes and I nod . And I pretend like I like it all. ”

In reality, they describe themselves as best friends. They defeated the distance because of their unparalleled love.

“ Not even poetry could explain how I felt about this woman. “
