During her time on the show, Sajja had memorable moments, including an incident where her home was burglarized during the ninth season. She was also involved in a feud with fellow castmate Toya over cheating allegations, which brewed throughout the season.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2023, Sajja announced her departure from the show, citing a desire to focus on projects outside of the series. She clarified that although she wouldn\u2019t be on screen for the time being, her story would continue, whether filmed or not, and thanked fans for their support.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors emerged regarding her exit, suggesting that she was fired by Bravo to make way for Phaedra Parks, a former cast member of \u201cThe Real Housewives of Atlanta,\u201d known for her popularity among Bravo fans. Parks reportedly requested a substantial salary to join the tenth season of \u201cMarried to Medicine,\u201d leading to speculation that cast members like Sajja were let go to accommodate Parks\u2019 entrance into the show.<\/p>\n<p>While Sajja partially confirmed the rumors in a statement, stating that they were only partly true, Parks eventually joined the cast of \u201cMarried to Medicine\u201d for season ten as a full-time member, supporting the notion that Sajja might have been let go to make room for Parks.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Contessa Metcalfe, another physician who joined \u201cMarried to Medicine\u201d in its fifth season in 2017, also departed the show alongside Sajja ahead of season ten, with speculation suggesting that their exits were to facilitate Parks\u2019 casting.<\/p>\n<p>Following her departure, Sajja has continued life as a busy mother and wife, sharing updates about her travels and seemingly amicable interactions with former castmate Toya. There were rumors of potential spinoff shows or a return to \u201cMarried to Medicine\u201d for Sajja, but as of the most recent tenth season, she has not made any appearances, leaving her future prospects within the Bravo-verse uncertain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anila Sajja, known for her tenure on Bravo\u2019s \u201cMarried to Medicine,\u201d left the show after her two-season run, sparking various\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":15081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[4355],"class_list":["post-15080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-anila-sajja"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
