The Big Bang Theorywasn’t just a super hit TV show; it was a launchpad for its stars. Yet, one of them quickly found himself in hot water after letting the fame get to his head. Dealing with a star whose ridiculous claims were spiraling right out of control, creator Chuck Lorre had a serious challenge to conquer.
Trying to keep things on track and protect the show, Lorre stepped in, proving once again that behind every successful show is a steady hand keeping chaos at bay.
Big BangWoes? Chuck Lorre Saves The Day (From Kunal Nayyar’s Ego)
From broke to ‘bazinga!’ in one season—that wasKunal Nayyar’s meteoric rise to fame onThe Big Bang Theory. But with a net worth skyrocketing to $45 million, things got a little too real for the newly minted TV star.
Playing the character of Rajesh Koothrappali onTBBT,the actor admitted that this newfound success went straight to his head. In an interview for ‘The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit series,’ viaThe Things, Nayyar alluded,
I was saying things that were ridiculous and behaving in a way that was not really me. I was just a kid and way out of my depth.
Apparently, Nayyar’s behavior became so erratic that it raised red flags for Lorre. One dinner with the cast, the British-born actor boasted about making millions in Bollywood during the show’s hiatus. Fearing Nayyar might ditchThe Big Bang Theoryfor a quick cash grab, creatorChuck Lorrestaged a heart-to-heart. Lorre said in the same interview:
I got the impression on a couple of outings… I remember him saying during that dinner in San Diego that he could go to India during the hiatus and do movies and make millions of dollars. It just seemed inappropriate.
While Kunal Nayyar’s ego took a temporary hit, he eventually understood the message. The actor soon realized theTBBTteam was there for him and all they needed was for him to slow down and not make rushed decisions. A timely intervention that saved bothThe Big Bang Theoryand, perhaps, Nayyar’s Hollywood career.
