Hyderabad: Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Bangar’s son Aryan has taken the Internet by storm with his recent revelation. He recently underwent hormone replacement surgery and has now identified himself as a trans person. He spilt the beans 10 months after the surgery via an Instagram post.
Sanjay Bangar’s son uploaded a video on Instagram saying that the path to transformation was tough for him.
