Anaya Bangar, the child of former Indian cricket team player Sanjay Bangar, has undergone a successful gender-affirming surgery. She shared the information through a social media post on Saturday. Anaya, who is a cricketer and a trans rights advocate, took to Instagram to share her transformation story and thanked her family for their support. “This journey wasn’t easy… not just for me, but for my family too. Understanding, accepting, and standing by me took time. It wasn’t instant. There were moments of confusion, questions, and growth for all of us. But today, standing here, I’m filled with nothing but gratitude,” wrote Anaya in her post.
“To have my father beside me through one of the most important moments of my life means everything. His support didn’t come overnight… but when it did, it was real, unconditional, and strong,” she added.
“This surgery was a big step for me, but having him with me made it feel possible. Growth takes time. Love takes time. But when it comes, it’s worth everything. Grateful. Always,” Anaya concluded.
