Kunal Nayyar, who geeks all over the world better recognize as the sweater vest and khaki-donning astrophysicist, Raj Koothrappali, in the long-running sitcom "The Big Bang Theory," is currently working on a sidesplitting collection of essays for his memoir.
Titled "Yes, My Accent Is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You," the biography chronicles his childhood in his hometown, New Delhi, and how he ended up starring alongside Jim Parsons a.k.a. Sheldon Cooper and the rest of the comic book-loving gang in the hit CBS comedy as well as everything in between.
Thanks to Entertainment Weekly, fans of the British-Indian actor now get an exclusive look at the cover for the book. Click here to check it out.
The memoir is described as, "Full of heart, but never taking itself too seriously, this witty and often inspiring collection of underdog tales follows a young man as he traverses two continents in search of a dream, along the way transcending culture and language (and many, many embarrassing incidents) to somehow miraculously land the role of a lifetime."
"Yes, My Accent Is Real and Some Other Things I Haven't Told You" showcases Nayyar's comedy prowess and his love for writing. In one chapter, which he called "My Big Fat Indian Wedding," the 34-year-old retold his mega elegant wedding with Indian model and former beauty queen, Neha Kapur, and everything that led up to that special moment.
Talking more about romance inconspicuously comparable to that of Raj's, Nayyar never forgot to mention how an awkward first kiss drove young Kunal mad, thinking it will tie him up with the girl for the rest of his life.
Aside from his rib-tickling stories about his colorful life of love and all its weirdness, Nayyar also shared in the book just how much of a James Bond fan his father is. He even penned some of the old man's pieces of advice that bordered on the side of quirky, witty and life-saving. "Treat a beggar as you would a king" and "When in doubt, use a spreadsheet" are just some examples.
Furthermore, the memoir also shared his experience as a college student in Portland, where he first got a taste of alcohol, partied with his French 6'8" roommate and cleaned the university's toilets to get by.
"Yes, My Accent Is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You" hits shelves on September 15.
