Kunal Nayyar lives in a constant state of gratitude.<\/p>\n

The “Big Bang Theory” actor<\/a> \u2013 who portrayed Raj Koothrappali throughout the sitcom’s 12-season run \u2013 revealed a favorite pastime as he reflected on his own financial freedom.<\/p>\n

“Money \u2026 has given me greater freedom and the greatest gift is the ability to give back, to change people\u2019s lives,” he said in a December interview with “The i Paper<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

In addition to funding university scholarships for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with his “Christmas Karma”<\/a> director Gurinder Chadha, the television star gives back to families in need.<\/p>\n

“We also support animal charities because we love dogs,” Nayyar said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But what I really love to do is go on GoFundMe at night and just pay random families\u2019 medical bills. That\u2019s my masked vigilante thing!”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “So, no, money doesn\u2019t feel like a burden. It feels like a grace from the universe.”<\/p>\n

Nayyar also knows the value of community and the importance of helping others.<\/p>\n

“Right now people are not happy, because we are all expecting someone else to be kind,” he told the outlet. “We are expecting a president or a politician, some leader, to come and bring us world peace.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

He added, “But there is no world peace if your neighbour comes to your door wanting some sugar for their tea, and you lock it against them and say \u2018get away\u2019.”<\/p>\n

Nayyar has a hard stance when it comes to politics: grace above all else.<\/p>\n

“People experience racism and sexism, all kinds of isms in this life, because of how narrow-minded people are,” he said. “For me, whenever I face hardship, I try to approach it with compassion and understanding, because I don\u2019t believe you can change someone\u2019s mind by beating them in the mouth.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I think that, with grace, you can help heal their inner child. Whatever is screaming out inside of them, you can hold that and say: I am here with you.”<\/p>\n

During the peak of “Big Bang Theory” fame, Nayyar pulled in roughly $1 million per episode. At one point, he was one of the highest paid actors on television, according to Fortune<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the “Spaceman” star amassed significant wealth and is worth a reported $45 million<\/a>, he still faces challenging times. A one-word mantra provides Nayyar clarity.<\/p>\n

“Sometimes, if I find myself really banging my head against something, and it\u2019s just one of those days where everything\u2019s going wrong, I just tell myself surrender,” he said. “Take a breath. Take a pause. Let\u2019s just see what happens.”<\/p>\n

He added, “Our minds work in such a way where on a difficult day, it keeps going to the worst-case scenario.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“So in those moments, you have to really just look at your mind and say, stop. Take a breath. Surrender to this moment and let\u2019s see what happens.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
