was a very important vote that happened

when you were there, right?

Yes.

That's amazing.

Good for them.

I remember, I grew up in New Delhi and I went to a school

with an all boys school.

And I remember knowing some people who

were-- let's call it in the closet,

because they did not have an avenue to come out, you know?

I kept thinking, how stupid is it that a government decides

to choose who you can love.

It never made sense to me, actually,

because love-- no one can tell you who to love, right?

Love is an entity unto itself.

Really, love chooses.

You don't get to choose.

I don't know, it just makes me so mad

that all these people with these storms within them

get to decide--

all this hatred within them gets to decide

how you should love someone.

Makes no sense.

So it makes me really happy.

We can all learn a lot from it.

Yeah, it makes me happy, too.

It's amazing that there are some places that still haven't

come to that conclusion.

I want to talk about the look you had.

We didn't show this picture.

Was this the entire summer that you tried out

of a fancy mustache.

Not just a mustache.

A lot of people try out a mustache.

Why are you guys laughing?

I had a little movie so I had a little beard,

and then I grew it out, just to see what happens.

Because all year I'm shooting Big Bang.

I have to be clean shaven.

And then it was great because everyone started

taking me very seriously.

And I love spirituality, and sometimes

after a couple of glasses of wine I get very spiritual.

I start spouting about love like I was just doing

and all these things.

And then everyone started calling me--

all my friends started calling me

Bhagwan, which is a nickname for this spiritual guru in India.

Which, if you have not seen this documentary,

you should called Wild, Wild Country, and then

you will realize why they shouldn't call me Bhagwan,

because it's not a great thing.

Did fans recognize you?

Actually, once in London I was walking, and I kid you not,

this girl runs up to me--

she grabs me by the shoulder and she's like, Kunal, it's you.

And I look at her, and she's like, oh, it's not you.

Sorry.

And walks off.

I went home and shaved it, and I said started walking around

like, do you recognize me now?

Here I am.

So you're filming the last season-- the final season--

of Big Bang.

How is that feeling?

It's going to be OK.

It's going to be OK.

It's bittersweet, you know?

I'm still trying to process all of it,

because it's been such a big part of my life, obviously.

It's given me all the blessings in the world.

Right now, I'm just showing up on time, focused on working.

And then I think when I come back from Christmas,

the countdown will begin.

We only have 11 more to shoot.

And you get this-- the series finale--

the day we shoot it is April 30th.

Not the date it airs.

The day we shoot it--

it's actually my birthday.

So it's almost like the character I was born to play

is the day that I don't get to play it anymore.

There's some kind of something there.

I don't know.

If I had a heard it would make sense.

Yes.

That's amazing.

Isn't that cool?

Yes, that's very cool.

Life comes full circle.

Wow.

That's amazing.

And that is the longest running sitcom ever.

Yes, it will be the longest running.

279 episodes-- what a dream.

And thank you for everything that you've done.

You're a great inspiration.

Well, it's just the coffee mug.

Yeah, exactly.
