  We present a model of compact astrophysical object under General Theory of
Relativity using the anisotropic extension of Tolman IV solution. The
anisotropy function, derived from the model, remains well behaved throughout
the interior of the star. The model satisfies several necessary conditions for
a physically realistic compact star. Physical viability of the model is
verified specifically by plugging in the estimated parameter values of the Low
Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) candidate 4U 1608 - 52. Our stability analysis of this
star, by using various criteria for stability, provide satisfactory results. In
connection to anisotropy, we compute the Tidal Love Number (TLN) for the
compact stellar model and compare the calculated values with existing
literature.
