Early life

Danie Dharma was born in Singapore on July 25, 1986.[3] He was severely bullied as a child, due to his small size and stature, and the fact that he was an ethnic minority, being the only Indian Singaporean in a majority Chinese Singaporean environment. In order to prevent being further bullied, Dharma took up bodybuilding in 2001.[5][6][7]

He competed in the NPC Worldwide Singapore Showdown in February 2023, where he was crowned light heavyweight and overall winner in men's bodybuilding.[16]
