Behind-the-scenes stories from its production continue to allure fans, and in Looper&#8217;s video above, you&#8217;ll get all the ins and outs of how Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg used to break their castmates on set.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first characters who come to mind when you think of &#8220;The Big Bang Theory&#8221;\u00a0may be Sheldon Cooper (Jim\u00a0Parsons), Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), and Penny (Kaley Cuoco). However, Raj Koothrappali (Nayyar)\u00a0and Howard Wolowitz (Helberg) are no slouches either, as both\u00a0were crucial parts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/2048670\/the-big-bang-theory-main-characters-ranked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the main cast<\/a>, and their contributions were integral to the show&#8217;s balancing act throughout its run and the friendly atmosphere among their co-stars. Looper&#8217;s video about their on-set antics shows just how much they influenced the classic &#8220;The Big Bang Theory&#8221;\u00a0vibe, both behind the scenes as well as in front of the camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg both had an interesting time on The Big Bang Theory<\/p>\n<p>                                             &#13;<br \/>\n                                                    &#13;<br \/>\n                            &#13;<br \/>\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"gallery-image \" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kunal-nayyar-and-simon-helberg-both-had-an-interesting-time-on-the-big-bang-theory-1772738221.jpg\" data-slide-url=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/2116568\/times-the-big-bang-theory-stars-simon-helberg-kunal-nayyar-broke-actors-set\/\" data-post-id=\"2116568\" data-slide-num=\"1\" data-slide-title=\"70 Times The Big Bang Theory Stars Simon Helberg &amp; Kunal Nayyar Broke Other Actors On Set: Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg both had an interesting time on The Big Bang Theory\" width=\"780\" height=\"438\" alt=\"Howard Wolowitz grinning and Raj Koothrappali holding a guitar on The Big Bang Theory\"\/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                    CBS<\/p>\n<p>Since both Raj and Howard were on\u00a0&#8220;The Big Bang Theory&#8221;\u00a0from its beginning to the very end, there are many interesting stories about Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg&#8217;s life and times behind the scenes. In fact, said stories start well before the show even started airing. Looper has already told you how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/969474\/how-simon-helberg-almost-missed-out-on-the-big-bang-theory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Helberg almost missed out on &#8220;The Big Bang Theory&#8221;<\/a> due to other commitments, which would have been a shame for both the actor and viewers of the series.\u00a0After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/1250350\/big-bang-theory-simon-helberg-show-greatest-course-acting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Helberg says &#8220;The\u00a0Big Bang Theory&#8221;\u00a0was the greatest course in acting<\/a>\u00a0he could have hoped for.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nayyar&#8217;s path on the show was also educational.\u00a0Along with all he learned from the creators behind &#8220;The Big Bang Theory,&#8221; the rest of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.looper.com\/1200104\/the-big-bang-theory-cast-loved-ripping-on-kunal-nayyar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cast loved ripping on Nayyar<\/a> due to his many personal quirks.
