He does still have a "nervous bladder" in the sense that he gets an urge to relieve himself when under stress. As of season 7, he no longer requires alcohol in order to speak in front of females though it did temporarily return when he first tried to have sex with his arranged bride Anu.
One of Raj's primary personality quirks beside his selective mutism is his tendency to speak or act inappropriately in most situations. One primary example of the latter was when, in " The Love Car Displacement ", he enters Leonard and Penny's room while they are about to have sex, climbs into bed and goes to sleep, completely unaware of what he interrupted.
On another occasion, he openly acknowledged having had crushes on Penny and Bernadette directly in front of them, simultaneously making them uncomfortable and making Amy upset, and fails to recognize Amy's change in mood despite Penny and Bernadette's discreet efforts to indicate it to him. Seen in " The Santa Simulation ". Raj and his friends also have made suggestions like driving around with a van to pick up children for their proposed comic book shop and enticing them with candy, unknowingly suggesting pedophilia.
He complains that he is lonely, which leads to Raj hating himself and needing to be reassured of his value. While usually sweet, Rajesh Koothrappali sometimes smiles at his friends' misfortunes, especially if he stands to selfishly benefit from said misfortunes such as, for example, when he expects Bernadette, whom he had a crush on at the time, to break up with Howard, figuring that he could then take advantage and move in on her.
Whenever Raj gets an idea or wants to say something slightly controversial in a conversation, he whispers it in Howard or someone else's ear whenever a woman is around. Howard does refuse to say it out loud because he finds it stupid, offensive, or inappropriate, but he ends up saying it anyway through scoffing at Raj.
He also has arguments with Howard often, being akin to those of a married couple. He is noted for using "gangsta" slang, such as "fo' shizzle" and repeatedly using the word "dude". He enjoys reading DC Comics , as do his friends, but he dislikes Aquaman. Raj often obsesses over almost-insignificant details in fiction, such as how toilets work in Atlantis, the possible symbolism of ponytails in Avatar , whether Wolverine's prostate is made of adamantium, what zombies would eat if humanity was exterminated, how vampires would shave themselves since they can't see their reflections, etc.
He has experienced gaming addiction and, like Sheldon and Howard , he idolizes Stephen Hawking. Unlike the other guys, Raj has shown great interest in some non-geeky things likes John Grisham novels and Archie comics, the latter being shared with Zack. He follows his parents wishes and relays on them for money as seen in the episode with his drone.
He parents heavily follow their religion which Raj also follows however breaks it whenever he is drunk. Eventually he stopped taking his parent's money and moved into an apartment over his friend Bert 's garage. Raj is a man of ideal weight and is also average height for an Indian man, originally in his mid-twenties, but he is in his late thirties by the end of the series. He's 5'7" 1. He is normally seen wearing a layered combination of a shirt, a sweater vest, and a windbreaker with cargo pants and skate shoes; he wore a red baseball cap in the Pilot.
Raj also straightens his hair until the last season. Raj always communicates with his parents, Dr. Koothrappali back in India over Skype, via webcam. They constantly try to arrange dates for him. Raj's parents want their son to marry a woman of Indian descent and give them grandchildren. Koothrappali is especially worried that despite Raj being old enough to marry, the closest they have to a daughter-in-law is "that Jewish boy," Howard. When they become meddling or judgmental, he often "brings his parents" into Leonard and Sheldon 's apartment via his MacBook Pro, to seek his friends' support in the discussion.
Like his "baby sister" Priya , whom he is very protective of, Raj calls his parents "mummy" and "daddy". Despite Raj's claims that he grew up in poverty, his friends like to remind him that he comes from a very wealthy. His father is a gynecologist, drives a Bentley he also owns a Mercedes, which was later burnt by his mother , and has a house full of servants, two of them children. Raj later admits this fact, saying they are very wealthy. His parents say the same thing, believing they have nothing to complain about as they are very rich in a very poor country.
Not much of Raj's family is known so far. And one of his two sisters is Priya. In " The Guitarist Amplification ", Raj tried to avoid going to his wedding, but eventually accepted his parents' offer.
He has poor negotiation skills, even admitting that he is useless when Raj was trying to negotiate for a jet ski. In " The Griffin Equivalency ", Rajesh points out that his limo is bigger than the house that his grandfather grew up in and has more food too, suggesting that his family was not always wealthy. In " The Alien Parasite Hypothesis ", Raj mentions that Type 2 diabetes runs in his family, but he has no symptoms so far.
In " The Septum Deviation ", Raj is worried about what to get his parents for their fortieth wedding anniversary. Later he gets a call from his father that he has moved out and that his parents are getting divorce lawyers. It seems over the years they did not communicate and let a lot of little things boil over until they hated each other. His mother may have also been seeing someone else.
Raj leaves to help his friends deal with a stray pigeon and his father is left with Amy and Penny and her boring Victorian parlor games. In " The Graduation Transmission ", Raj's father threatens to cut him off after he spends too much of their money on a drone which was meant to be used to pay Raj's monthly rent.
After flattering both parents, Raj ends up with a huge increase in allowance from both his divorced parents. In " The Allowance Evaporation ", Raj after meeting his ex-girlfriends who said he was too spoiled and a Momma's boy, tells his father that he was no longer taking any money from him. His father was delighted that his last only unmarred offspring was going to stand on his own two feet. In season 12, he asks his father to find him a wife and he ends up going with Anu. Leonard and Raj meet at the University as shown in a flashback in " The Staircase Implementation " and it was made clear in " The Jerusalem Duality ", both Raj and Howard like Leonard, and only hung out with Sheldon because they had no other choice, the two are shown to be best friends.
Though, Raj takes delight in Leonard's problems with Penny and becomes somewhat adversarial with him when he dates his sister, Priya.
Despite his tendency to tease Leonard about his girlfriend issues, he is supportive of his and Penny's relationship and frequently attempts to get him to breakup with Priya sometimes employing subtle manipulative techniques, such as feeding his paranoia about the two women comparing notes about his sex life.
Raj feels jealous when Leonard and Howard use his ideas for fun and exclude him. Raj has said that Leonard only hangs out with him if he has no other options, and has missed him " The Spaghetti Catalyst ". They normally try to help each other. In " The Cooper Extraction ", Amy points out to the gang that most of them would not know each other if Sheldon had not been part of their lives.
Since Leonard is not in Apartment 4A, Raj envisions them living together; however, Leonard is fat due to Raj's cooking and Leonard's loneliness; Leonard makes Raj fat in the story to make things even. While there, they both agree that they are smarter than Howard, and that he was the one indirectly responsible for letting the bird inside.
Leonard wants to do it with his laser, but Bert declines. Generally, Raj is much more patient with Sheldon than Leonard , Howard and Penny - though this fact is partly because Sheldon does not criticize him quite as often as the others, they are best friends.
From season 1—3, Raj hated Sheldon and wanted to get away from him. Sheldon still criticizes Raj before season 4. Just like everyone, he knows Sheldon is a nutcase and an arrogant jerk. When asked, he mentions it is because of his belief in Karma. Sheldon , however, appears oblivious, as he once tried to cut off Raj from his circle of friends to make room for Barry Kripke and because Raj got one answer for his questionnaire wrong.
Raj was terrified at the prospect of losing Sheldon as a friend, and later worries whether he is merely the "treasured acquaintance. Sheldon hates it when Raj is talking in his ear, although he does appreciate Raj's words. Whenever Raj is upset, Sheldon brings him a hot beverage to console him, although this act is because his mother would make him. In " The Roommate Transmogrification ", Raj proves to be a better roommate to Sheldon than Leonard was, as he goes out of his way to impress him.
Considering Raj a good friend, Sheldon enjoys the ethnic diversity he brings about in the group and the fact that he too likes monkeys and trains. In the episode " The Pirate Solution ", when Raj's research hits a dead end, Sheldon offers Raj a chance to work for him, which he later accepts. Raj started working for Sheldon, and they occasionally clash.
They also have a geek war over the overly large desk Raj moved into his office - although Raj at first seems to be winning, their attempts to one-up one another eventually cause the office to explode. This action is seen in " The Hot Troll Deviation ".
Even after Sheldon takes over a new office and Raj gets to keep the one they share for himself, they still work together on some occasions, including staying at the university's observatory lab to discover an asteroid, and running a simulation for when they have to go inside a mine later. Sheldon immediately tells Raj that he can't go to Comic-Con this that year. But then I met Howard, and suddenly, my life changed, because we could be lonely together. This man became my whole world.
Howard is Raj's best friend; since Season 1 , they have always been very close and met about the same time they were introduced to Leonard and Sheldon. Raj usually comes to Howard's house for holidays such as Thanksgiving, and has sometimes slept over there, as well. He knows all of[Howard's jokes and finds humor in mimicking Mrs.
Rajesh is sometimes sensitive to Howard's cultural stereotyping as well as his perceived inability to recognize when he is upset. They are practically inseparable, maintaining certain weekly routines together and serving as wing-men to each other up until Howard's marriage and Raj getting a girlfriend. Although Raj and Howard are heterosexual, their relationship and interaction sometimes resembles that of a couple, which resulted in Leonard's mother, Beverly Hofstadter , calling their relationship an "ersatz homosexual marriage".
As seen " The Maternal Congruence " and " The Maternal Capacitance " despite the denials, Raj amusingly still takes up a stereotypical "female" role in arguments with Howard, for example, accusing him of deserting him for any opportunity to speak with an attractive woman.
During Howard's launch in" The Countdown Reflection ", both he and Howard's wife Bernadette express their love for Howard and hold hands. Howard invents a game where he quotes Raj and others have to guess if the comment is about the dog he loves or the woman he loves Emily due to his attachment to Cinnamon.
In " The Anxiety Optimization ", Howard starts a game called "Emily or Cinnamon" where people have to guess whether statements Raj has made are for the woman or the dog he loves.
Emily thinks Raj's sensitive nature is very sexy. In " The Approximation ", Raj and Howard form a band call " Footprints on the Moon ", when Stuart is looking for live music in his store. They write a song about Indiana Jones taking on Thor which is a cool song, but not easy to dance to. In " The Confidence Erosion ", Raj takes a break from his friendship with Howard when he realizes that his lack of confidence is in part due to Howard's constant demeaning jokes.
He changes his look, gains confidence and gets a job at the Griffith Observatory. After his show, a young woman even asks him to coffee. Both end up in Halley's bounce house taking out their frustrations on each other. The house is so much fun that they mend their friendship while bouncing around. In the final season, Raj becomes a part-time planetarium host and invites Howard as a guest speaker for his experience as an astronaut.
As they discuss the matter, the two eventually tell the audience of each other's astrophysical accomplishments while complimenting each other. In addition, Howard stops Raj from chasing Anu as it would be better for him to find someone with whom he can truly love and cherish. In " The Planetarium Collision " Howard gets invited by Raj's boss to help host a planetarium show since he is an astronaut. Raj is worried that Howard will take over the show.
Anxiety occurs between them and during their sow they end up complimenting each other to excess. In " The Inspiration Deprivation ", Howard buys a Vespa like he used to own with him and Raj planning to relive their good old days.
Bernadette is angry and doesn't want him hurt. He sells it to Bert who immediately has an accident. She wonders what that means for them. Raj decides to go to London and propose thinking that this is his last chance for happiness. Howard goes to the airport and convinces him to stay. In " The Stockholm Syndrome ", Sheldon in his Nobel acceptance speech acknowledged Raj as his friend and has him stand up before the whole world. Penny is Raj's best female friend that Raj has, though he has only been able to talk to her when drunk til the end of Season 6.
Penny sometimes tries to make Raj speak, but mostly feels sorry for him, such as by calling him a strange little man, damaged, and even kissing him on the cheek, while Raj believes her to be considerate of him. There are times where his relationship with Penny becomes less than platonic - particularly in " The Griffin Equivalency ", where he misinterprets her going with him to an award ceremony as an act of romance rather than friendship and introduces Penny to his parents as his "new squeeze" while he was drunk.
He tried to apologize by note, but Penny forced him to say the apology while sober. In " The Roommate Transmogrification ", Raj and Penny hooked up while they were drunk and while they were leaving the bedroom after waking up hours later, they ran into Howard , Leonard , and Sheldon.
