Priti Challa’s educational qualifications
The 41-year-old gynecologist has been practicing medicine since 2007. Born in Hyderabad, she completed schooling from St. Ann’s High School. Thereafter, her higher academic career started off at Sri Ramachandra University (SRMC) in Chennai, from where she bagged her MBBS degree. Thereafter, she also earned her MS degree from the same institute under Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Priti Challa’s first marriage
For the unversed, prior to her marriage with filmmaker Krish Jagarlamudi, the fertility specialist Priti Challa is said to have been married earlier. As per the Economic Times, both Krish and Priti were married before. However, unlike the filmmaker, not much detail is available about her first husband.
Priti’s passion for a career in medicine was fuelled by her mother and grandmother
For Priti, the satisfaction that comes from selflessly helping her patients hasn’t been just a manner of livelihood. It is, in fact, rooted deep inside her upbringing, surrounded by her mother and grandmother, who had dedicated all their lives to the service of providing good healthcare to others.
Her mother, too, was a gynecologist, and her grandmother worked tirelessly to bring up high-quality healthcare facilities for women in the country.
Priti Challa now runs her family-established Challa Hospital
Following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother, Priti Challa is now leading the way for her family’s very own Challa Hospital. Located in Guntur, this healthcare infrastructure was established by her grandparents in 1984, and she, being the fourth generation of the family, is the one who leads it now.
She also has her brother, Dr. Chaitanya Challa, who oversees the proper management of the hospital now. In one of her previous interviews with Hans India, Priti had talked about her family hospital.
She had said, “I came back to work at my family hospital that’s 'Challa Hospital' and worked with my mother to learn to be a good practitioner. Challa Hospital' was started by my grandmother, who was a physician, in 1984. It was her dream to give good quality service at a low cost, and it was carried on by my father and mother. Now, I and my brother are taking care of the hospital. It will always be in my family to carry on the objective.”

On November 11, 2024, Priti Challa tied the knot ceremoniously with filmmaker Krish Jagarlamudi, which took place in Hyderabad. Their celebration was an intimate one attended by only close friends and family members.
Their wedding date, November 11, has a special significance for both Krish and Priti, as their respective birth dates, November 10 and November 12, also align beautifully around the same time.
