Early years

His native language is Telugu, and he speaks Bengali, Hindi, English, Marathi, and Tulu fluently. He is the oldest of three sisters and two siblings (including his younger brother Jimmy Moses) in his family.

Lever attended Andhra education society English high school until the seventh grade, as he was unable to continue his education due to family financial difficulties. As a result, he decided to abandon school and began working odd jobs, such as selling pens on the streets of Mumbai by imitating and dancing to the songs of famous Hindi film stars of the time. He also spent his formative years in Yakutpura, an old city in Hyderabad, where he honed his distinctive comedic acting technique.

During a Hindustan Unilever company event, he imitated a few senior officers, and the employees have since referred to him as Johnny Lever. When he subsequently entered the film industry, he chose the stage name Johnny Lever.
