Talk:Kunal Nayyar

message: He quite clearly states that he's Indian and not British in this interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwWZwBC_4bk
The article currently states that Nayyar is "an English comic actor of Indian origin". Yes, he was born in Britain, but an article  tells that he was raised in New Delhi, India (his family moved there when he was only five years old). So, wouldn't it be better to say that he is "an Indian comic actor born in England"? ,,n (talk) 00:19, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't worry yourself about this too much. Mr Nayyar is bound to have checked his own Wikipedia page at some point or other, he would be more than able to change the detail himself.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.222.149.102 (talk) 11:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No he if he was born in England than he is English. But his nationality is Indian. I was born in the USA but grew up in Australia. I am an Australian of American origin. My family moved there when I was four. Very similar, but I am not Australian by any marker except I grew up there. 
UK Nationality isn't by birth alone (whereas US and Cdn are)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.246.130.230 (talk) 16:36, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

text: I suggest we leave his nationality out of the lede and just state that he is an actor. Does anyone have a source in which Nayyar states his nationality?Wkharrisjr (talk) 11:13, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The IMDB article given in "External Links" names him an "Indian actor". Since he grew up in India and he is of indian descent I think it's fair to call him "Indian". Nxavar (talk) 12:37, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "No he if he (sic) was born in England than he is English" makes no sense at all! English is an ethnicity not a nationality. If you are born in England you will most likely have British citizenship, but you do not become 'English' any more than a dog being born in a stable becomes a horse! It would appear that he is British, but ethnically Indian.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.145.139.130 (talk) 17:13, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nationality 

message: Kunal Nayyar was born in London but left when he was four years old for India. On top of that he is obviously of Indian, not of English ancestry. These four years are not enough for connecting him to London's history/identity. Including this page to Wikiproject London is an exaggeration. Nxavar (talk) 23:24, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I will never cease to be amazed by the need for wikipedians to get so het up on concepts of nationality and national identity! Why can't we replace the standard wikipedia "nationality" claims with three facts: 1) Where was the subject born 2) Where does the subject live now 3) What passports does the subject hold. This will stop the petty squabbling and people claiming "Kunal once spent 3 weeks in Madrid and therefore is part Spanish". Good grief. 80.6.35.235 (talk) 18:35, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Saying Nayyar is best known for her role on TBBT is perfectly fine, as she is most notable for that role. I'd like to seek some more input on this though. Calidum Talk To Me 04:17, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Calidum, that he is "best known" or "most notable" for a particular role is an opinion and unsourced, and even if it is correct it really isn't appropriate for you to revert an edit that wasn't vandalism with just a default edit summary. The IP has a point, even if he/she is expressing it poorly. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:27, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Add film to filmography 

message: On a separate issue to the above, in his autobiography and all interviews he claims to have been born in Hounslow, but in the article we say he was born in Hammersmith, citing FreeBMD. These two settlements are both in west London, but about 8 miles apart. The London Borough of Hounslow does have, at its eastern extremity, a very short border contiguous with the (former) Hammersmith Registration District, so it's possible that, for some reason, his parents were living in Hounslow, but he was actually born and registered in Hammersmith; but it seems equally possible that the Hammersmith registration entry is a misidentification, and refers to a different Kunal Nayyar. Do we have any additional evidence one way or the other? GrindtXX (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
