Early life
Megan Bhari was born to Jean Bhari and has at least two older sisters. Bhari's parents separated when Megan was very young.

Illness
At age 13, Bhari was diagnosed with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, a condition meaning increased pressure around the brain that can cause severe or permanent vision loss. At the age 16, Bhari's mother announced her daughter's diagnosis of a brain tumor.

Charity work
In January 2012, Bhari and her mother Jean opened a charity called "Believe in Magic" which funded events for seriously and terminally ill children like Bhari. The charity focused on children in hospitals and hospice. The charity gained celebrity attention with members of One Direction openly supporting the cause, along with endorsements from Jessie J, Olly Murs, Little Mix, and Michael Bublé. Bhari was also given a UK Points of Light award by David Cameron.

In 2015, the charity had raised over £340,000 according to Charity Commission for England and Wales. In 2017 a statutory inquiry was made into the charity in which it was found that charity trustees had failed to file several annual accounts and had submitted several accounts late. The charity was officially closed in August 2020.

Death
On 28 March, 2018, Bhari died at age 23 at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. A post mortem examination concluded that Bhari died of fatty liver disease.
