Remember Asa Soltan Rahmati, the mystical, art-loving queen of Shahs of Sunset? She was the one who brought tarot cards, crystal elixirs, and haute couture to Bravo’s hottest Persian drama. For seven seasons, she was the calm eye of the storm, floating between fights over money and family. Then, after Season 9 in 2021, she simply... vanished from our screens.
What happened to Asa? Is she still sipping turmeric lattes in a designer caftan somewhere? The answer is delightfully simple: she chose peace.
From Reality Star to Real Life
Asa didn’t get fired or catch a scandal. She left because the show’s toxic energy no longer matched her vibrational frequency. In a 2023 podcast interview, she explained that the constant drama with co-stars Reza Farahan and MJ Javid felt "draining and fake."
Must Read
She wanted to protect her energy and focus on her family. Her husband, Jermaine Jackson Jr. (yes, of the Jackson family), and their son, Soltan, became her priority.
Fun Fact: Asa named her son Soltan as a tribute to her father, who passed away before the show aired. The name also means "king" in Persian.
What Is Asa Doing Now?
Asa fully leans into her brand as a lifestyle guru. She runs Asa Kaftans, a luxe robe and dress line that screams "I woke up like this, but richer."
She’s also deep into wellness. Her Instagram features sound baths, breathwork sessions, and photos of her hiking in Santa Monica with the caption "Let the earth ground your sass."
But the biggest shift? She’s become a documentary filmmaker. She directed and produced The Silent Child, focusing on children with hearing loss—a cause close to her heart because her son wears cochlear implants.
Cultural Note: In Persian culture, family and community are everything. Asa’s exit from TV is a modern twist on an ancient value: retreating to nurture your home instead of your public image.

Practical Tips from Asa’s Playbook
Want to channel your inner Asa? Start with a digital detox. She suggests one hour of "phone-free" time daily to hear your own thoughts.
Invest in one statement piece you feel powerful in—like a silk kaftan or bold earrings. Asa says, "When you dress like a queen, you negotiate like one."
Try earthing. Walk barefoot on grass or sand for ten minutes. She claims it "releases static electricity from overthinking."
The Reunion That Wasn’t
Fans hoped for a Shahs reunion, but Asa made her boundaries crystal clear. When Reza called her "fake" in 2022, she responded with a single calm Instagram story: "I no longer play in playgrounds where adults act like children."
She did, however, appear on Jeff Lewis Live last year. She revealed she still texts with GG (Golnesa) and sometimes Destiney. But she has zero interest in revisiting the show.
Little Fact: Asa once brought a "psychic pet medium" to a Shahs party. It was peak Asa—and exactly why we miss her weird, wonderful energy.

Where to Find Her Now
You can buy her kaftans at Nordstrom (yes, they stock them). She also hosts occasional virtual "Energy Reset" workshops for $40 a session.
Her YouTube channel is a rabbit hole of meditations, DIY skin recipes, and videos of her cooking Persian dishes like joojeh kabob while explaining chakra alignment.
Asa is also working on a book about "Modern Mysticism for Busy Women." Expect it to be half self-help, half coffee table art, and 100% her.
A Quick Style Reflection
Think about the last time you felt burnt out. Maybe from work, social media, or a friend-group drama that felt like a reality show. Asa’s journey reminds us that leaving the table is a power move.
You don’t have to be on the cast of every argument. You can exit, rebuild, and invent a life that feels like silk—not conflict.
So next time you’re tempted to stay in a situation that drains you, ask: What would Asa do? Probably light a sage stick, pour some pomegranate juice, and walk away into the sunset—her own.
