Supriya Ganesh opened up about their exit from HBO’s hit drama series “The Pitt” during a conversation with Variety at the Gold Gala red carpet on Saturday.

“I tried to take a step away, because it’s just been so surreal,” Ganesh said of the reaction to their exit. “The day that news broke, I saw my name was trending on Twitter, and I was like, ‘Gotta put the phone down and go outside.’ So, I haven’t really been keeping track of it, to be honest, but I’ve been getting such sweet, lovely messages from people, and I’ve honestly just been surprised at how much people love the character and saw so much of themselves in her, and that’s what I’m going to miss.”
