The journey completed after waiting for five years
Anaya had already told that this decision was not taken suddenly. She waited for this moment for almost five years and after a long period of therapy, medical tests and introspection, she decided to undergo gender-affirming surgery. Anaya had previously said that she never felt connected to the gender she was born in. In such a situation, this surgery is an important step in the journey of his identity.
Family togetherness becomes the greatest strength
The support of Anaya’s family has also been important in this journey. His younger brother Atharva Bangar stood by him from the beginning, while with time his parents also completely accepted him. The special thing is that the entire expense of this surgery was borne by her father Sanjay Bangar, whom Anaya described as the biggest emotional support of her life.
message of hope for society
Anaya has not only been associated with cricket, but is also a vocal supporter of transgender rights. She believes family support can send a message of hope and courage to many other trans women.
