Anaya Bangar, the child of former India all-rounder Sanjay Bangar, recently sparked attention after sharing her transformation journey following a hormonal replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgery. Anaya, who was previously known as Aryan, has also played age-group cricket. While speaking to Lallantop, Ayana made some bombshell revelations, saying she was subjected to sexual harassment.
“There have been a few cricketers who randomly sent me naked pictures of themselves,” Anaya told Lallantop host Saurabh Dwivedi.
She then described a person who would verbally abuse her "in front of everybody" and would later "ask for my photos".
Sharing another instance of sexual harassment, Anaya said, “I told an old (senior) cricketer about my situation. He told me ‘Let's go in your car, I want to sleep with you’.”
Anaya did not name the cricketer in the interview. However, she indicated that the harassment incident was at Yeshvi Cricket Academy in Pune.
Before undergoing a hormonal replacement therapy and gender affirming surgery, Anaya had played cricket with well-known cricketers like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Musheer Khan and Sarfaraz Khan.
She shared that her journey had not been easy since the very beginning.
"I had to maintain secrecy about myself because my dad is a well-known figure. The cricket world is filled with insecurity and toxic masculinity," she said.
