5ft 7 ¼ (170.8 cm)

Remember the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, when you first see Jessica in that red dress? That was my reaction when I first saw Neha. She was in fact wearing a red dress. At five foot ten she stood six foot three in heels, towering over my five-foot-eight pile of Dumpster Hollywood trash.

Editor Rob5ft 7-7.5 is the kind of range he can look when he stands tall...sometimes with poor posture I could see why he'd be guessed 169-70 range.

he's 5'6 or even a bit less, not 5'7. if he was 5'7, his eyes would be where his wife's lips are. looks like they are 1-3 inches under. famous actors usually inflate their height 1-2 inches, bc they can get away w/it.

Why is he listed as almost 5'10 (177 cm) on google? That just doesnt seem right. I think 5ft7.5in would fit better.

Editor Rob big companies - if they really care - would surely check out the Number 1 Height Forum on the web 😆 i.e. CelebHeights.com, because we list 6000 quotes from actors, including Kunal who claims 5ft 8! Actually I met him, he was definitely shorter than 5ft 8!
Other sites copy Celebheights, including all the quotes 😆 😏

Sometimes, I can see a fraction over 170 cm - say something like 171 cm (5 ft 7.25 inch) for Kunal. How about his beautiful wife, Neha Kapur? 175 to 178 cm tall, I really don't know? All I know is that she is too tall for me to handle! Rob, please could we have an entry for Neha. After all, she was a Miss India.

I see he's become much more comfortable posing with his wife. No more tip-toeing or any such thing. He even bends a knee nowadays.

I always thought this was this height with the slim possibility of a 5ft6.5 but 5ft7 is better. Good Rob I agree with this.

'chris' i think 'realist' was indicating 'most people' as other memebers of cast. johnny galeki and simon helberg certainly wear lifts. the difference between johnny galeki and kaley cuoco in the 1st season to this current season is tremendous she was comfartably taller at first, now he's just taller or same height. kunal is 5'7, galeki is 5'4.5 and simon helburg is 5'4. galeki and helburg are exactly the same height galeki is barely talle, but hes uncomfartable and concerned about his height, whereas kunal embraces it

BTW, I keep seeing how people are protesting that bringing up your heel like that only gives you a tiny bit of height. That may be true, but that's not the point of the criticism. The criticism is that he obviously believes that it gives him significantly more height in photos, or he wouldn't do it. It's the motivation behind the act that's being criticised. It's really kind of ridiculous.

I think the 5'8" claim is subject to the Two-Inch Rule in this case. lol There has never been a full three-inch difference between these two.

He's not tip-toeing. Only his left heel is raised slightly, as is normal with most people leaning inwards towards someone they're having their picture taken with. One raised heel only rotates you slightly one way or the other - it doesn't make you appear taller.

Solid call on the downgrade Rob. Does not look 3' taller than 5'5 Galecki.
In reference to the tippy-toe disucssion, raising one foot does give you about 1-2 cms of height as it adjusts the hip, you can try to do it right now.

He is well proportioned and quite a fair bit taller than Galecki and Helberg but Rob once again did it. He nailed him down. Not a mm above 5'7". Qbex: You are way off. Just mentioning 174 for this guy proves you have no clue about the art of height gauging.

No wonder sheldon looks like a giant in the big bang theory.. He towers over the rest of the cast because hes quite tall and the rest are short. Kunal is a great actor though and always makes me laugh!

He's not on his tip-toes - he's just got his left heel raised, which won't make any difference given his right foot is planted.

He seems to be taller than Galecki's 1.65, i would put him around 1.69 and 1.71 max, no more.

To VV: to feel insecure at 5'10, which is slightly above average (5'9 1/2 being the national average) is a tad delusional.
The entire cast of Big Bang theory appears to be shorter than average...

@VV: Every man is different. You obviously like girls who are at least half a foot shorter than you & fair play to you, man. I prefer girls who are close to my height or are my height. Some men even like women who are much taller than them. Today, in this world of Equal Oportunities anything is possible, man, & that is a GREAT THING!

I wouldn't say he is insecure about his height, otherwise he wouldn't have married such a tall girl. I'm a bit insecure at 5'10" and the only girls I ever date are 5'4" and under... they help me look tall!

@Peyman-6ft, I can agree with your estimate about ideal height for a girl - I too prefer a girl to be about 2 inches shorter than me - my ideal height woman would be 5 ft 4 or 5 ft 3 inches! Luckily, my wife is around 5 ft 3.5 inches! Sure, Kunal is tiptoeing, but could he have just been in a comedic mood when the pic was taken & could he have been taking the mick out of himself by tipitoeing!?

The 2 inch difference aint the problem. but when girls whack on their heels is the main problem. Without heels height wouldnt be such a problem for men IMO.

@ ArjunaKorale , nice observation man , but it wouldn't cover the fact that he's tippy toeing.
Why he did it if he isn't unsecure.
A 5ft 9in girl for a 5ft 7in guy isn't that bad , I've seen 5'9.5'' & 5'4''!! It'll be nothing important if you don't care .
I personally like my girl to be at least 2inches & at most 8inches shorter than me .
The problem is not his choice , it is the TIP TOES .

I dont think Nayyar can be that insecure about his height, otherwise he wouldn't have married such a tall lady! I, myself, prefer women upto around 5 ft 6 or even 5 ft 5.6 (but nothing taller really!) but that's because I am only around 5 ft 6. However, everyone is different & some men suit women who are much taller than them just as some women suit men who tower over them - it is all a matter of personal choice! And Kunal chose Neha.

Well he's the second tallest person on the show after Jim Parsons (Sheldon). I always thought Kunal (Raj) was 5ft8. It states on other sites that he is 5ft8 as well!

he is standing on his left foot's toe , not the right one IMO . So he obviously can't gain more than 1_2cm .

That is really sad to stand on your tiptoes. If he's that bothered by being short, why highlight your shortness evenmore by having a tall wife.

This entry for Nayyar looks fairly accurate, though I am still unsure if he could be 2 or 3 cm taller than this i.e. 5ft 7.5 or even 5ft 8 - I just don't know mate. By the way, Rob, how tall is Nayyar's wife ex Miss World Neha? She looks about 4 or 5 inches taller, though I am guessing that she is wearing very high heels. So, more importantly, what would be her height, Rob, au naturale i.e. in barefoot?
