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!

Glad for Raj the character arc completed nicely he realized he does not need to be insecure and the finale to the Big Bang Theory was also good, closed the show on a happy note with fan expectations fulfilled.

He was born in Hounslow, near Heathrow Airport, in the UK but moved to India soon after that's why he has an Indian accent, you will find that many like Kunal who were born in and live in the UK have Indian accents if they speak an Indian language at home likewise those who speak mainly English don't have an Indian accent, that goes for any other country..

I think he himself still has some kind of a stereotype of INDIA. Well, we find many Indian English speakers with a little better accent than Mr. Nayyar. And frankly speaking although he wrote a book *Yes My Accent is Real*, I find a LOT of difference between his accent on the show and whatever he spoke just now.

[@JK-eu8ri]

[@sh0werp0wer]

Better accent? What does that even mean? I guess one could make a point about intelligibility, but that ultimately has much to do with what accent you're used to. For instance, most people have a much harder time understanding a Scottish accent than an Indian one, despite Scottish accent being mostly a native one, while Indian (as of now) being a second language accent.
