Exclusive - Bigg Boss 19: Ex-cricketer Sanjay Bangar's daughter Anaya Bangar approached for Salman Khan hosted show?
Anaya Bangar, a bold and outspoken figure known for her journey as a transgender athlete, Graphic Designer, Actor, and advocate for LGBTQ+ visibility, is currently making headlines not for sports this time, but for quite a different arena: Bigg Boss 19. The new season, slated to premiere on August 24, is turning heads with its novel political-inspired format aptly titled 'Gharwalon Ki Sarkaar', where contestants will form parties, hold elections, appoint leaders, and even select ministers from among themselves. This fresh twist is designed to spark strategy, alliances, and rivalries right from the start. Anaya's possible inclusion adds a powerful dimension to the mix. Known for her candid social media presence and fearless advocacy, she would bring a unique and unapologetic voice to the Bigg Boss house. Her journey from the cricket field to becoming an influential public figure has been marked by resilience, determination, and a refusal to shy away from difficult conversations. Reports suggest that Anaya has been approached by the makers, though there's no official confirmation yet. If she does step inside, her presence could set a new precedent—offering visibility to transgender representation on one of India's most-watched reality TV platforms. With her strong personality, eloquence, and ability to stand her ground, she is expected to spark meaningful discussions, challenge stereotypes, and create unforgettable moments on the show. For the uninitiated, Anaya, who was assigned male at birth, later transitioned to female. In a recent Instagram video, she revealed her medical test results. At 23, she partnered with Manchester Metropolitan University following a year of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Anaya Bangar is the daughter of Sanjay Bangar , a former Indian national cricket team player who has also served as a coach and cricket commentator. The makers of Bigg Boss have reportedly met many celebrities before locking in the final cast. This season will open with 15 confirmed contestants, with additional faces joining later as wild cards. If Anaya takes the plunge, her entry is likely to be one of the most talked-about moments of the season.
