"It's my life, and I want you in it."
— Sav to Anya in Causing a Commotion

The relationship between Sav Bhandari and Anya MacPherson is known as Sanya (Sav/Anya). It began in the seventh season of Degrassi: The Next Generation.

Relationship History[]

Overview[]

Both transferred from Lakehurst High School to Degrassi Community School during the seventh season of Degrassi: The Next Generation. They had an on-and-off relationship from then until the tenth season, before permanently ending it in Breakaway (2). Ultimately, Sav's inability to stand up to his parents about their relationship is the reason why they did not work out. They have, however, remained friends as shown in Dead and Gone (1). They were the longest lasting teenage couple in Degrassi history with an unprecedented 52 episodes, outlasting both Spinner and Paige and Jimmy and Hazel.

Season 7[]

In Jessie's Girl, Holly J. asks Anya if she wants to hang out with Sav and the guys at lunch, but Anya tell her that they need to work on their science project. After Holly J. humiliates Anya in class, she later invites Anya to hang out with her at Sav's birthday bash.

In Hungry Eyes, in their sophomore year, Sav admits to liking a girl, which turns out to be Anya when Holly J. and Mia observe them looking at Anya's sticker book together. They begin their first relationship in this episode.

In Another Brick In The Wall, Anya mentions that her and Sav are going out, as to the reason why she can't hang with Holly J. When Holly J. is later rejected by Toby, she calls up Anya to hang out, telling her to ditch her other plans with Sav.

After Bruce finishes reading his poorly written poem, Anya asks Sav where her poem is, Alli mocks him, saying the poem would read: "Dearest Anya, I'd miss you when you're gone-ya, L.O.L." When Clare Edwards sings her hymn to the cafeteria, they both watch politely.

In Fight the Power, Anya says she prefers that Jane changes in the women's locker rooms instead of the men's, so that she wouldn't be ogling "her Sav." When Sav is called out, Anya cheers for him with the rest of the Power Squad.

In Didn't We Almost Have It All, there are rumors that Anya and Sav were having sex when they were both absent from school for a week. But when Anya returns to school, she claims they are waiting and that she hasn't even met his parents yet.

In With or Without You, it is Sav and Anya's sixth month anniversary, and he wants to have sex with her. However, Anya dumps him because he didn't invite her to dinner with his entire family. Sav wins her back by telling her that he loves her and that he wrote a song for her, and the two get back together again, walking off with his arm around her. While everyone else on the field trip is setting up camp, the two sit very close together in front of a tent. During the environmental game, while holding hands, Sav tries to sell the idea of how romantic and special that night is, though Anya is paying attention to the game instead of him. Chantay tells Sav that there were rumors going around of him and Anya making out in the woods.

Anya and Sav make out in their tent with the intention of having sex.

Anya talks to Alli about what it would take for Sav to introduce her to his parents, and she jokes that it would take her being Muslim. Meanwhile, Sav plays "The Anya Song" to Danny, which he wrote for Anya. When Anya enters the tent though, Danny leaves, and the two wish each other a happy anniversary. Sav wants to play his song for Anya, but she buts him in and tells him that she wants to become a Muslim for him, which comes across as a surprise. The two begin making out, until Anya finds the pack of condoms in his tent, and the two decide to have sex, resuming their make out session. They continue to kiss until Alli's scream interrupts them.

The next day, when Sav yells at Alli on the bus about people not thinking she is good enough for their family because she was alone with a boy, Anya notices Sav's double standard. She calls him out on it and breaks up with him again. The following day, ever since they got back, Sav tells Danny that he texted her at least 20 times without a response. Anya arrives at the lockers and gives Sav a box filled with all of the items he gave her, cementing their break up. As she walks away, Sav looks torn at the idea that they are over for good.

In Lost in Love (1), Sav came into school early to decorate the entire school for the Valentine's Day dance to try and win Anya back, though his attempt was unsuccessful. Sav and Anya are both working the booth that sends roses out to people. When Anya reads what K.C. wrote on the card to the rose he purchased for Clare, she takes a jab at Sav, saying "Even a grade 9 knows how to treat a lady." Sav responds with a comment about how the ladies will treat him after they "stomp on his heart." When Connor asks Anya and Sav what K.C. was doing with the heart, they both ignore him, so he is forced to ask Alli instead.

Alli later approaches Anya about the anonymous rose that was sent to her, and Anya says there is a "buyer-seller confidentiality." Sav remarks that whoever buys the roses aren't "state secrets," and Anya retorts that he is just mad because no one will tell him who sent her her rose.

Riley notices and asks if he needs him to spot him, but Sav rejects the offer, saying guys shouldn't hook up with their team mate's ex. Later, Anya and Riley agree to stay friends because Anya had come to the realization that she isn't over Sav yet. She reveals Sav is the only guy, besides Riley, that she had ever kissed. Looking miserable, Sav watches on as Anya hugs Riley goodbye.

After the game, Sav notices that Riley gets a text message, and assumes it is from Anya. He says if it is from her, then it is his business, saying that their 6 months was worth more than the picnic Riley and her went on. Riley tackles him to the ground and continually punches Sav in the face, breaking Sav's nose, while Anya watches in horror.

Sav easily beats her, and Anya is surprised, as she really believed she was tougher than him. She playfully begins to punch him, and Sav leans in for a kiss, causing her to recoil from him. Anya admits she still loves him, but doesn't want to get back together because Sav doesn't have the guts to tell his family about her.

Sav muses over his options, coming to the conclusion that he has to choose between Anya or his family, which is hard for him because he loves both. Sav tells his father about Anya, and he tells her to invite Anya over for dinner the following night.

His mother tells Anya it is up to their children to maintain their culture with Indian spouses. Both Anya and Sav look hurt by the news, and Anya politely excuses herself.

She begins to tell him about a quiz she took in a magazine, and when Sav barely answers her, she deducts that he is nervous about their first time. He denies being nervous, but Anya tells him everything will be perfect, kissing him on the cheek as she leaves, which brings a smile to his face.

After dinner with Farrah's family, Farrah and Sav talk about their possible arranged marriage, but Sav's phone rings, interrupting them. The call was from Anya, who had he four missed calls from.

Looking hurt, Anya walks away, telling Sav she hopes him and Farrah have a nice life. Sav dejectedly leans against the front door, realizing he messed up.

The next day at school, Sav chases behind Anya, asking for a chance so that he can explain, but she doesn't want to listen. He tells her that he lied and kept her a secret so that they could be together without his parents constantly interfering with their relationship. She asks him if they hate her, but he tells her that the fact that Farrah is there changes nothing about them or his feelings for her. The two still decide to go to formal together, and Sav tells her that there is even talk that the two of them might be nominated for formal King and Queen. Anya is amazed at the thought, and Sav tells her he, Peter, and Farrah will pick her up in the limo that night, before kissing her and walking off. She is visibly displeased with the news of Farrah also being in the limo with them. Anya later informs Chantay and Holly J. about the situation with Farrah, Peter, and Sav.

In Why Can't This Be Love (2), Sav brings strings of lights to school for decorations for the dance, which Anya declares are perfect.

Later, Anya and Sav are walking down a sidewalk together, and he thanks her for meeting up with him. She tells him she is lucky she could squeeze him in, and Sav comments it is amazing how fast Anya moved on, as he sometimes wonders if he made a mistake breaking up with her. Anya then reveals that Sav really had her convinced they were broken up for good this time, saying people told her if she acted like she didn't care, then he would come crawling back to her. Sav asks her if the whole thing was a game to get him back, which she says was more a good strategy. Pissed off, Sav yells that he almost forgot why he broke up with her. Anya tells him that Sav needs her, and he rebuts that he doesn't need anyone who can't be honest with him. She asks why he called her there, and he says because he is a moron. The two reaffirm their break up, calling it their final one, and Sav states he'd rather be alone, before walking away from her. Anya watches him as he walks away.

Peter asks if their last break up was for good, and Sav says that it was best for both of them, confirming they were done. Sav comments that Degrassi would be lonely without his friends, bandmates, and a girlfriend now that he and Anya were over.

The next day at school, Holly J. is upset that Sav is running for student council president against her, and calls him "stupid" to Anya. Anya tells her that him breaking up with her was a blessing in disguise. She asks Holly J. how she can help her take Sav down, and Holly J. in return asks, "Still haven't forgiven him for dumping you on prom night?" Anya says he dumped her minutes after they had had sex, and states if she had gotten pregnant, then she would have been huge for her senior year. Her comment gives Holly J. the idea to tell Sav that he got Anya pregnant, as a scheme to get Sav to drop out of the election race. The third day of school, Holly J. approaches Sav at his locker and lies to him, saying that Anya told her that she was pregnant, to freak him out.

Sav confronts Anya about her pregnancy in her art class.

In What a Girl Wants (2), Holly J. calls in a favor from Anya to pretend she is pregnant with Sav's child. Anya finds the idea ridiculous, but goes along with it because Sav broke her heart. Anya says that she is suddenly craving pickles, and Holly J. humorously states that "Babydaddy Bhandari" could pick some up for her. In art class, Sav approaches Anya and asks her if there is really a baby in progress inside of her. She tells him there is, and he asks Anya why she didn't say anything to him. Anya states he wouldn't talk to her, but Sav interjects that he would have made an exception. He questions if she plans on keeping the child, and she says that she thinks she is. Sav asks if he is the father, as he thought she took the morning after pill, and Anya asks who else it would be in an annoyed tone. She tells him that she doesn't expect any help from him, and Sav longingly stares at her, not sure what to say or do. Anya tells him that he should leave, and he slowly walks out of the classroom, turning around to look back at her once. She stares after him, a conflicted look on her face, as it is evident she is still in love him.

Sav changes his mind about running for president now that he has "responsibilities," meaning the baby and Anya, and fights with his mother over the subject, as she had had a family member create campaign posters for Sav. The next day of school, Anya enters her art class and is surprised to see that Sav is back, as he had transferred into her class out of music class. Sav tells her that she comes first right now, and she becomes momentarily confused about what he is talking about, but agrees with him upon remembering her promise to Holly J. Sav asks her if she has told her parents yet, and when she says no, he surprises Anya by telling her that he wants her to be with him when he tells his. He says whatever happens, at least they'd be together, and Anya regretfully comments that that is all she ever wanted. As she is looking emotional, he asks her if she has morning sickness, and Anya tells him instead that she never expected him to be so awesome about the situation. Sav responds that he couldn't let her go through this alone, and an overwhelmed Anya asks if she could have a minute to herself. Once he leaves, she sends Holly J. a text that she cannot go through with her scheme anymore..

Sav says this time they would be different, and they agree that they have an insane past together. He tells her that he was dropping out of the race, but Anya convinces him to run, as it would teach him responsibility, for practice when he was a father. Sav asks to see the list of her baby names, and Anya denies that she has one with a smile, which earns a laugh from Sav, as he previously caught her looking up baby names for their children after their first date. Anya tells him that she has always liked the name "Victor" for a boy, and Sav says that he loves it. The two are getting along well, and Anya is frequently smiling at him.

While they are talking, Anya appears next to Sav and takes his hand. Sav says that he can do anything with a strong support system, referring to Anya. The two walk away holding hands.

In Breakaway (1), Sav finds out from Drew Torres that now everyone knows about Anya's pregnancy because Holly J. had Declan post on a blog about how they were expecting. Sav approaches Anya in the hallway and reveals that everyone knows she is pregnant now, and Anya asks if that is all. Upon Sav's odd look at her, she pretends that she thinks it is horrible, and says they need to do major damage control.

Sav goes over the plans with Anya, which involve telling their parents about the baby, getting a place to live, and a wedding.

Anya and Sav go back to his house, and Anya optimistically says that maybe his parents won't find out. Sav points out that it is on a blog on the Internet, where anyone in the world can read it. He says that they should tell Anya's parents first and then his, then they would find a place to live together after, and would finally plan a wedding. Anya, shocked, asks about the wedding, and Sav tells her that she deserves one. He tells that her his parents would be home any minute and asks what they should say, to which Anya finally confesses that the pregnancy was a lie.

She reveals that it was Holly J.'s idea and it was supposed to stop Sav from running for president. He angrily asks her about why she would go along with it, and she says that he dumped her after prom last year, which she spent crying over the entire summer. Sav responds that he was worrying for nothing, and Anya reveals she wanted to come clean to him, but was worried that he would hate her. Sav looks down, and Anya honestly tells him that she really doesn't want him to hate her, not again. Sav tells her that it is kind of sweet, which causes her to smile, and tell him, "Just like you," saying he is a great guy and leader and should be Degrassi's next president. As everyone thinks he is going to be a teen dad, Sav asks how he is supposed to win now, and the two sit in silence, trying to figure out a way for him to win the election.

The next day, Sav's campaign is booming, much to Holly J.'s dismay. She questions Connor about it, who responds that Sav is a hero now because he got Anya pregnant. Holly J. confronts Anya, saying she has to tell everyone the truth, as Sav is going for the sympathy vote. Holly J. threatens to tell everyone the truth if Anya doesn't, but Anya threatens right back to tell everyone it was Holly J.'s idea in the first place and Sav knew nothing about it. Anya says she has to protect her family, and Holly J. angrily tells her she doesn't have a family, to which Anya points out that if anyone finds out about, then Holly J. will be in big trouble.

Sav asks if she told everyone that she isn't pregnant, and she reveals that thanks to "Fake Baby Bhandari," they are up on the polls. Alli, upon realizing there is no baby, calls them weird with a laugh, and then leaves. Anya convinces him to go along with the lie, saying that no one needs to know that there isn't a baby and that it's fair if Holly J.'s lie helps him defeat her.

Before Holly J. and Sav give their speeches, Anya claps loyally for Sav with a smile on her face. During the speeches, Holly J. calls Sav out about not being ready enough to be president. He retaliates, saying just this week he has balanced his schoolwork, his campaign, midwife appointments, baby books, and his campaign didn't even miss a beat, taking encouragement from Anya to lie. His speech goes well, as the audience loves him, and Anya looks on happily from the crowd.

Sav calls down the hallway to Anya that he will see her later. Holly J. tells Anya that her losing is all her fault, and Anya says that people didn't vote for Sav because they thought she was pregnant, but because Holly J. thinks she is better than everyone else.

In Breakaway (2), Sav is carrying a lot of binders full of reading for student council, and he meets Anya in a classroom. She is surprised at how much reading he has for the council, and he tells that he still can't believe that he won, to which Anya said she isn't, as he deserved it, and had help from the fake baby.

As soon as he is gone, Sav says to Anya that the baby, or lack of one, is a problem. Anya reveals that Mr. Simpson wants her to talk to the guidance counselor, and Sav says that they need to tell the truth.

Sinclair. Sav thinks it over and remarks that she might be a political genius, which earns a laugh and a smile from her.

Anya glares at Sav for failing to stand up for her, despite him deliberately promising it would be different this time, before leaving.

The two are shown to have gone back to Sav's house to make out. They are sitting on Sav's couch, and Anya is straddling him. After pulling back to take a break from kissing, Anya tells him that she's not sure if kissing counts as French homework, but she likes it. Sav asks her to remind him why they ever broke up, and Anya recalls that it was his dirty secret, Farrah. Sav remembers it was his parent's arrangement, and states that their arrangement isn't going to work for him. Anya happily asks if he'll tell them about her, and Sav pulls her back down to resume kissing.

However, Mrs. Bhandari arrives home, and Sav quickly stands up, causing Anya to fall back onto the couch. He tries to sneak Anya out the back door, and Anya, looking hurt, claims that Sav said their relationship would be different this time. Sav tries to reason with her, but it was already too late, as his mother walks into the room and asks why Anya is there. Sav greets his mother, and lies to her, saying Anya needed his French notes, they came back to his house to get them, and she was just leaving. Anya, looking betrayed, glares at him, and then honestly tells Mrs. Bhandari that they were making out, but promises it will never happen again, essentially breaking up with Sav. She apologizes to Sav, telling him "No more lies," and leaves his house.

The next day in art class, the two exchange looks, before the bell rings, signifying the end of class. Sav begins to approach Anya, who notices and tries to bolt, but he catches her just in time. She tells him that he doesn't need to apologize, but Sav insists that he does, saying he shouldn't have lied to his mother. Anya tells him, "But you did, again," and says to him that they are bad for each other. She states that that is never going to change unless he learns how to stand up to his parents, and he calls her name, insisting that he is sorry.

Sinclair, whom he had dated for a significantly shorter time, but she dumped him anyway. If he had stood up for Anya, they presumably could have lasted as a couple.
  • Sav and Anya helped Holly J. plan the dance in Dead and Gone (1).
  • Their first on-screen kiss was in With or Without You.
  • Their relationship was the second one to have one partner not accepted by the other's parents. The first was B.L.T. & Michelle and the third was Adam & Becky.
  • They both graduated in the Class of 2011.
  • They are the second couple to deal with a pregnancy scare, the first was Sean and Emma and the third was Dave and Alli.
  • They are the fourth couple to have their ship name (Sanya) actually mentioned on the show. The first was Paige and Alex (Palex), the second was Peter Stone and Mia Jones (Pia), the third was Dave Turner and Alli Bhandari (Bhandurner), the fifth was Winston and Frankie (Frankston), and the sixth was Winston and Goldi (Goldston).
  • Sav's relationship with Anya was his only sexual relationship. He did not have sex on-screen with any of his later girlfriends.
  • In Forgetting Sav Bhandari, in Anya's vision of the future, she has two children with Sav and was pregnant with their third.
  • They were both members of the LARPing Club, though only briefly in Sav's case, and Film Club.
  • They were both friends with another couple: Danny Van Zandt and Chantay Black.
  • They both made their first appearances in Standing In The Dark (1).
  • They were the longest running couple in Degrassi history with a total of 52 episodes in which their relationship was featured. The second was Jimmy and Hazel with 39 episodes and the third was Spinner and Jane with 34 episodes.
