Benni was born on October 14, 1991, to an Indian mother and a Guyanese father. He has a younger brother, Nick, who is six years younger than him.
Both the brothers were born and raised in Miami, Florida.
His mother came to New Jersey when she was 16 years old. His parents met in college in New Jersey and fell in love.
However, their “Bollywood love story” as described by Benni was full of struggles because his mother came from a conservative Gujarati family and his father is West Indian.
Eventually, they got married and started their family.
