At the time, it was reported that Ganesh\u2019s exit was a \u201cstory-driven\u201d choice, since the show is set in a teaching hospital.<\/p>\n<p>While speaking with JoySauce later that month, Ganesh was asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/the-pitts-supriya-ganesh-breaks-her-silence-on-divisive-exit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">where Mohan might end up<\/a> in the future.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI hope [Samira] goes somewhere where she has an attending that thinks she\u2019s fit to be in the ER,\u201d Ganesh said at the time, suggesting that Mohan be paired up with <strong>Sepideh Moafi<\/strong>\u2019s character. \u201cMaybe if Dr. Al-Hashimi takes over. It\u2019s been really interesting thinking about how different her experience of the ER might have been if she had a different attending.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That same month, Ganesh spoke out about experiencing \u201cdiscrimination\u201d as an actor and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/the-pitts-supriya-ganesh-addresses-gender-dysphoria-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">opened up about gender dysphoria<\/a> in an essay with <em>Vulture<\/em>. Now, Ganesh shared that the piece led to people reaching out and has resulted in a \u201cvalidating\u201d experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely a scary thing to put out there, because it\u2019s such a complex experience and something that\u2019s so personal that I remember when I was writing it, I like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if anyone\u2019s going to get this. But that\u2019s OK, because even if one person gets it, like, I\u2019m writing for that person,\u2019\u201d Ganesh told Variety on Sunday. \u201cI get DMs from people being like, \u2018I\u2019m taking your essay to my queer theory class and discussing it in class tomorrow.\u2019 That\u2019s just so surreal to me, because I remember being in women\u2019s and gender studies classes, and discussing and debating ideas.
