Anaya Bangar describes her terrible encounter with senior cricket players after undergoing gender transformation: “Some cricketers sent me n*de pictures.”

Aryan Bangar, now known as Anaya Bangar, the son of former India cricketer Sanjay Bangar, had a sex makeover a few months ago. In a video that was uploaded to her Instagram account, Anaya made it public.

Anaya Bangar discussed her identity, family acceptance, challenges and problems like transphobia, and other concerns that exist in cricket in an interview with The Lallantop. She claimed that in order to maintain her identity, she had to endure both sexual harassment and emotional agony.

“I received nude photos from some cricket players who have performed at a high level. simply because they were anticipating something following their discovery of my transgender identity.”

“All I wanted was safety. I stayed out of the matter since I didn’t want anyone to look at me negatively.
There was never any friendship between these people. I will not reveal the platform on which this occurred, but it did.

Anaya Bangar talked about her experiences and the challenges she faced as a sportsperson when asked about her cricketing career.

“Some individuals were encouraging even when I was in the UK. Those who had previously backed me altered their minds later on, while those who had first opposed me were even more hostile. In front of my teammates, they used to mistreat me. “What is this trans-van?” they used to ask. This is all bullshit and nothing.
Later on, the same man would approach me, sit by me during the game, and request my photos.

Anaya Bangar documented her experience of gender transition on Instagram in November 2024 with a number of images and tales. There was a lot of online discussion about her transformation. According to Anaya, she is receiving hormone replacement treatment (HRT). On August 23, 2024, Anaya posted a lengthy, heartfelt message on her Instagram account.

“I’ve played cricket since I was a little child. As a child, I watched my father coach and represent the nation, and I quickly began to aspire to be like him. I was inspired by my dad’s commitment, self-control, and passion for cricket. My future, my desire, and my love were cricket. I dedicated my entire life to improving my abilities in the hopes of one day being able to represent the nation like my father did.

“I never imagined having to give up the sport that has been my love, my support system, and my passion. However, I now have to face a hard truth. Being on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has significantly altered my body as a trans woman. My playing ability, muscle memory, and muscle strength—all of which I relied on—were deteriorating,” she added.
