Anaya Bangar reunites with Sarfaraz Khan and his father, Musheer gives it a miss
New Delhi: Anaya Bangar, child of ex-Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar, shared photos and videos online depicting a close relationship with Sarfaraz Khan and his family. The posts highlight the strong connection between Anaya and the Khans.
“We held bats before we held phones. Friends since the beginning,” wrote in her caption. “Missed you @musheerkhan.97,” she added.
Sarfaraz Ahmed, a 27-year-old cricketer with six Test appearances for India, including a top score of 150, did not feature in the IPL 2025 after going unsold at last year’s auction in Jeddah. His IPL career included stints with Royal Challengers Bangalore, Punjab Kings, and Delhi Capitals.
Musheer was drafted by the Punjab Kings in 2014 for his base price of 30 lakhs. Despite being part of the 2024 India U19 World Cup team, he remains uncapped.
Anaya recently gained attention for candidly discussing her gender transition in an interview with Lallantop. She described both the supportive and negative experiences she encountered within the sports community.
“There has been support and there have been some harassment as well…There have been a few cricketers who randomly sent me nude pictures of them,” Anaya told Lallantop.
In November, Anaya, formerly known as Aryan and assigned male at birth, publicly documented her transition on social media. She began hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in 2023 and is transitioning to live as a transgender woman.
