raj koothrappali
raj's social anxiety around women was inspired by a former co-worker of prady. originally the character was called "dave", and was an american born to indian parents. this was changed when nayyar won the role, because he was "so indian". when doing scenes in which raj must consume alcohol in order to speak, nayyar would drink non-alcoholic substitutes. when scenes called for raj to drink grasshoppers, the substitute was a concoction of water, cream and a heavy amount of green food coloring.
