“I think I’m sort of easily excitable like Raj. I get excited over things. And I’m kind of (a jerk) to my friends. Like, I try to make fun of everything around me sort of like Raj does,” Nayyar said in a 2013 interview with The TV Addict. “I really enjoy playing him just because it’s really fun to play a character that is not malicious. He’s a terrible liar and he really loves his friends. So it’s really fun.”
