Orran Awatramani, widely recognized as Orry, has swiftly carved a niche for himself in the Bollywood industry. Transitioning from obscurity to the epicenter of Bollywood glamour, this enigmatic personality consistently captures attention. Consequently, there has been considerable intrigue surrounding his background, professional journey, and rapid rise to stardom.
Orry, a graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design from the esteemed Parsons School of Design, has been employed as a Special Projects Manager at Reliance Industries Limited since 2017, as indicated on his LinkedIn profile. His professional narrative seamlessly intertwines business acumen with creativity. Referred to as the
“Bollywood BFF,”
Orry gained fame through regular encounters with renowned celebrities.
Orry gained prominence through his associations with Nysa, the daughter of Ajay Devgn and Kajol.
He frequented numerous events alongside emerging actors like Janhvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and Ananya Pandey. Orry’s swift ascent is particularly evident in his role as the orchestrator of celebrity events and his consistent presence on guest lists featuring emerging talents.
His candid photographs at the Jio World Plaza opening went viral, propelling his unprecedented rise to fame. Recently, Orry has been offering glimpses of his opulent social life online, sharing snapshots from star-studded parties in the city.
The internet is abuzz with discussions about his activities. However, the enigma behind his appeal remains. Now, the recent comments made by singer Suchitra Krishnamoorthi, characterizing Orry and his lifestyle as perilous, have ignited controversy within social circles.
Suchitra Krishnamoorthi rediff Suchitra delved into influencer culture and its impact on our lives in a comprehensive article on the X platform. She recounted conversations with friends, highlighting attention-seeking behavior exhibited by young individuals. Referring to this behavior as the “Orry culture,” she connected it to Orry’s escalating popularity. Recalling discussions on the adverse effects of influencer culture on society, she narrated an encounter with a highly successful business person during her stay at a friend’s house in London. She wrote,
“Two years ago, Kaveri and I were at a friend’s home in London. He is one of the wealthiest people in the world and an inspiration to many in the business world. Coming from humble small-town beginnings, he very honestly stated that when he was accumulating wealth in his earlier days, he focused on the brands he aspired to own (he can now probably buy many outright), and as his earnings increased, those were the first things he purchased for himself and his family.”
She added,
“He then asked Kaveri about her favorite brands, to which she honestly stated that her choices are dictated by her current aesthetic and taste rather than a trend or a fad or the price tag. He then asked me. And I said what I thought – an artist or an individual of caliber is a brand by themselves. Mastery and excellence in their field of work is the only brand an artist needs to aspire to.”
Suchitra shared her thoughts while reconnecting with her former personal trainer, reflecting on incidents where she secured loans for expensive bags to keep up with her celebrity clients. Concerned about the shifting mindset, she recalled her disagreement with the glorification of wearing brands as a display of status symbols, linking it to low self-esteem and insecurity. In response, Orry wrote,
“To flaunt other people’s labels that reek of a price tag, to do it because it’s a status symbol and it’s what the other rich do, in my view, reeks of insecurity and a lack of individuality. Cowardice. Why did I remember this today? Because I got in touch with my ex-personal trainer again—a lady who took loans to buy designer bags so she didn’t feel inferior to her celebrity clientele. Still on your designer bag trip? I asked her. No way, she said. Because her son was now asking for photos with her celebrity clientele to post on social media.”
She added,
“What nonsense. I don’t want him to get into this #orry culture – it’s dangerous. He has to do something on his own. He has to realize that just posting photos with celebrities doesn’t make him one. I gave her a hug, and we decided to start my training tomorrow.”
She also discussed how the media perpetuates ostentatious displays and extravagant spending.
Additionally, she emphasized the need to move away from sensationalizing celebrity lifestyles. She said,
“On the way back home, I couldn’t stop thinking about this whole vulgar culture of spend and eyeball-grabbing. At any cost. And of how irresponsible our mainstream media has also become, propagating this flamboyant extravagance circus (all paid, of course), where they choose to highlight the price of an Isha Ambani or Alia Bhatt’s dress rather than the achievements of an Olympian or social worker or even a self-made, hard-working entrepreneur.”
She added,
“It’s a ticketed zoo. The more the bling, the higher the footfalls. Merit be damned. We need a social, cultural, and economic mindset reset. That can only be driven by media. A media that we are all an equal part of… that we are responsible for… Wish you all a fabulous 2024… ❤️❤️❤️”
