Income Source of Kunal Nayyar
As for his salary, we can say that in 2015, the popular American business magazine (Forbes) named Kunal as the third guy on its list of the world's highest-paid TV actors. Nayyar's earnings then stood at $20 million. Two years later (in 2017), Forbes again listed Kunal as one of the world's most paid television actors. This time, it was reported that Kunal and other major show casts (Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and Simon Helberg) earned $1 million per episode and $24 million per show season.
Nevertheless, due to the bond that the casts developed among themselves, they decided to take a $100,000 pay cut for each episode to raise Melissa Rauch's and Mayim Bialik's salaries.
Kunal has purchased this 4,000 sqft Hollywood Hills home in 2012 for $2.85 million.

Personal Life of Kunal Nayyar
Nayyar first met Neha Kapur in 2008 at a bar in New Delhi with Femina Miss India Universe. Slightly intimidated by her height— she's 5'10, "he's 5'8"—he asked her to sit down and buy her a drink. It didn't take the couple long to fall in love from there. They married in their hometown on December 22, 2011, in a traditional Hindu ceremony that lasted six days. The couple currently resides in Los Angeles, California, while their parents still live in New Delhi.
On September 15, 2015, through Atria Books, he published his memoir' Yes, My Accent Is Real: and Some Other Things I Haven't Told You.' As he humorously states in the book, it's not exactly a memoir — he's not a president, an astronaut, or a Kardashian to publish one — but a collection of stories from his life.
