Kohli was born in London to a social worker and a teacher, who had come to the United Kingdom in the 1960s from India. When he was three years old, they moved to Scotland. Kohli's parents could afford to move him, aged six, and his brothers out of state schooling to be educated by the Jesuits at St. Aloysius' College, a Roman Catholic school in central Glasgow. To finance their family through private school, Kohli's parents ran a corner shop.
He went on to Glasgow University to study medicine, but changed course to study mathematics, gaining a first-class degree, and subsequently studied for a PhD.
Kohli starred in Meet the Magoons for Channel 4, co-written by his brother Hardeep, as Surjit Magoon and has appeared in several episodes of the BBC comedy series Look Around You as Synthesiser Patel. He was the former presenter of the BBC's Asian Network and has previously written for Goodness Gracious Me, The Big Breakfast and Chewin' the Fat, which was also written by future Still Game co-stars, Ford Kiernan and Greg Hemphill.
