Married To Medicine is one of Bravo’s all-time hit shows that revolve around women living extravagant lives in Atlanta. Anila Sajja, who joined this medical community reality show in the 8th season, has announced her leave despite being on the show for a short time.
Airing on Bravo TV since 2013, Married To Medicine is Real Housewives meets medicine, as it centers on women who are either well-known doctors themselves or are married to doctors from Atlanta. When the 8th season premiered in 2021, Anila Sajja, the wife of Dr. Kiran Sajja, was cast as a permanent member of the show.
Although Anila didn’t have any major feuds with any of the members, she added to the entertainment of the series with her diverse culture and positive personality. Along with Contessa, Heavenly, Jackie, Simone, and Toya, Sajja was part of the full-time cast and would have dinners with other wives.
When the 10th season of Married to Medicine started airing earlier this year in November, Sajja was nowhere to be seen, not even as a friend of the wife or a recurring member. Her and Contessa’s position is believed to be taken up by Phaedra Parks in season 10.
Why Did Anila Leave Married To Medicine?
There were rumors that Anila and Contessa were fired from Married to Medicine, but that is far from the truth, as Sajja has revealed the real reason behind her sudden exit. The mom of two has “other projects” to attend to, so she has been absent from the latest season of the Atlanta show.
Sajja also claimed that she wasn’t going to be gone for too long from the show and would return as soon as her personal projects and business endeavors were stable. While Anila hasn’t revealed what these projects exactly are, she did say that they were going to allow her to share her life and journey with fans soon.
It seems like Sajja has shifted her focus from being just a cast member on Married to Medicine to starting her own business or show, but it’s too soon to say anything. Since she’s a skilled influencer, blogger, and designer, there’s no saying what her next project could be.
As exciting as it is, Sajja will no longer be returning for the current Bravo show season. She and Contessa have left the show together and have been replaced by another stunning cast member who goes by the name of Phaedra Parks.
Season 10 won’t be the first time we see Parks on Married to Medicine, as she appeared as a guest for a short time in season 3. With multiple degrees and a successful career, Parks is a perfect choice to spice up the recent seasons of Married To Medicine.
While Anila Sajja will be leaving the Bravo show for her upcoming projects, Contessa has yet to reveal the exact reason behind her leave. The other wives meddling in her and Metcalfe’s relationship likely was one of the reasons.
Anila Sajja: Where Is The Married To Medicine Star Now?
Proud of her Indian origins, Sajja is a blogger, influencer, and entrepreneur who has her own beauty retail showroom. Anila is married to the oculofacial plastic surgeon Kiran Sajja. Her relationship with the medical world and her diverse culture made her a good choice for Married to Medicine.
While not filming for the Bravo show, Anila would spend her time looking after her two kids, Aryana and Avir, and vacationing to faraway places with her husband. Starting her career in the corporate world and having a creative eye gave Anila the perfect opportunity to start a business of her own.
Now that she’s been Married to Medicine, Anila gained the remaining amount of fame she needed to expand her career. Sajja is now focusing on the entrepreneurial side of her career and is working on something new for her fans and other viewers of Married to Medicine.
While it’s highly unlikely that Anila Sajja will come back as a main cast member for season 10, we could see her show up as a guest in the current and future seasons of Married To Medicine.
