A visit to Johnny Lever's house in Lokhandwala, Mumbai, reveals the actor's modesty and simplicity as well as a glimpse into his life. The actor, who has brought joy to the nation for decades with his performances, gave a tour of his duplex house, which was the first home he purchased with his own money, in a video uploaded to YouTube by Galatta India on October 17.

A trip from Lokhandwala's duplex to Dharavi's chawl

The video shows Johnny Lever showing off his sea-facing home, which he purchased in 1990. The actor claims that his first purchase was a duplex with three bedrooms and a hall on the first floor, and three bedrooms and one hall on the second. In the video, he stated that he initially paid ₹20 lakh for the top floor and then ₹4 crore for the floor below. "20 times badh gaya price (The price increased 20 times)!" he joked.

He first lived in Dharavi and then moved from chawls to a duplex in Lokhandwala, where he had Sridevi as his neighbour. "Pehla ghar Dharavi mein tha, chawl thi. Uske baad slums mein aaye…jhopadpatti abhi bhi hai. Mera jhopda abhi bhi hai wahan. Kisi ki shaadi hai, function hai, log aate hain, hum jaate hain (The first house was in Dharavi, it was a chawl. After that we moved to slums…the slums are still there. My hut is still there. If there is someone's wedding, there is a function, people come, we go),” he shared.

The actor's house is a treasure trove of memories and also documents his personal life, accolades, and journey in Bollywood, including his engagement in 1983, the first Filmfare award he won for Best Performance in a Comic Role, for Deewana Mastana, and his wedding pictures. He also revealed that his wife designed the interiors of their house herself, adding simplicity to every corner. Additionally, while the upper floor is designed for their children, the lower one is for larger gatherings.

Johnny Lever's favourite spot

The actor revealed that his favourite place in the house is the hall, where he spends most of his time doing his homework and watching movies and videos on various streaming channels. For the actor, the space is a treasure trove as everything is available here, along with a quote that holds a special meaning for him and means that ‘a house is built with wisdom’. “When I am very happy…I sit here,” he said.

The actor stressed that he and his wife wanted their home to be simple, as they didn't want the feeling of a studio shoot in their safe space. “Ghar toh ghar hona chahiye (A home should feel like home),” he explained.
