Kunal Nayyar says he secretly pays random families' medical bills

Kunal Nayyar says he has quietly been paying medical bills for random families. "Money has given me greater freedom and the greatest gift is the ability to give back, to change people’s lives," he told the iPaper in a December 2025 interview, adding that he and his wife, Neha Kapur, “also support animal charities.” He described logging onto GoFundMe at night to cover costs as “my masked vigilante thing!” Fortune places the actor’s net worth at $45 million, and Nayyar said the money does not “weigh heavy” on him because he can donate anonymously.

He framed generosity as a source of happiness and a way to affect change directly. He argued that people expect leaders to bring kindness and world peace, but added, “There is no world peace if your neighbor comes to your door wanting some sugar for their tea, and you lock it against them and say ‘get away.’” He also said, “No one is going to come and change the world for you.
