Alessandra Torresani as Claire
Alessandra Torresani made waves in season nine as Claire, the hot bartender who caught Raj’s eye. Remember her? She wasn’t just mixing drinks – she was stirring up some drama in Raj’s love life too. Claire was one of those characters who showed up and had everyone talking.
Alessandra made a quick comeback in season 10, but don’t expect to see her slinging drinks for Raj anymore. She’s been busy chasing new roles – you might’ve caught her in “Lucifer” or the flick “Step Sisters”. Sure, her IMDB page isn’t bursting at the seams just yet, but don’t worry about her bank account. That Big Bang paycheck? It’s keeping her far from broke. Looks like serving up laughs on the show paid off big time for our girl!
Kunal Nayyar as Rajesh Koothrappali
Let’s talk about Raj – the eternal third (or fifth) wheel of the gang. This guy’s love life? Total rollercoaster! But fans can’t get enough of his goofy charm. Kunal Nayyar’s been cracking us up since day one, 11 years ago. And get this – he’s not just a one-show wonder. Between Big Bang episodes, he’s been busy with other TV and movie gigs. Remember “Trolls”? Yep, that was him too. Talk about a guy who knows how to hustle!
Talk about hitting the jackpot! Kunal’s not just a TV star – he’s got some serious theater cred too. But here’s the real kicker – this guy’s pulling in a mind-blowing $750,000 per episode. Yeah, you heard that right. With that kind of cash, mortgage payments? Please. That’s pocket change for Kunal now. Looks like playing Raj is paying off big time. Who knew being the lovable sidekick could be so lucrative?
