Anaya Bangar, the daughter of former Indian cricketer and coach Sanjay Bangar, will make her TV debut in a new arena. Multiple rumors say that she would be on the next season of Bigg Boss 19. People are saying that her joining the popular reality show is a big step forward for transgender representation in Indian culture.
Anaya, who has had surgery to change her gender, has become a strong supporter of the LGBTQ+ community and a groundbreaking transgender athlete. She has openly discussed her experience with her fans, telling them about the problems and successes she has had along the way.
ETimes and several other news agencies have announced that Anaya will be a competitor on Bigg Boss 19, which will start on August 24. Even though the show’s creators haven’t made an official list yet, insiders close to the production have stated that she will be on it.
People think that Anaya will use the stage as a contestant to talk more about her own life and her support for transgender athletes.
Anaya made news earlier this year when she said in a video on social media that she is now scientifically able to play women’s cricket. She talked about a physiological assessment that showed how her hormone therapy had changed her body and how it now matches that of cisgender female athletes.
“I’m presenting the scientific study that tells the story of my life as a trans woman athlete for the first time. Anaya added in the film, “I have had structured physiological assessments since I started hormone therapy last year.” “I’m sending this to the BCCI and ICC with complete honesty and hope. I just want to start a discourse based on facts, not fear. “To build space, not break it.”
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) have not publicly responded to her submission yet. People think that Anaya’s presence into the Bigg Boss house will bring this critical topic to a wider audience, break down prejudices, and help people understand identity and inclusion better.
