Orry recently disclosed that his playful interaction with Rihanna at the Ambani celebration was a calculated move in his marketing playbook.
Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani threw a lavish pre-wedding bash for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, leaving everyone awe-inspired. From Bollywood dance extravaganzas to global fashion statements and Rihanna’s electrifying performance, the event was unforgettable. Despite the festivities winding down, internet sensation Orry, also known as Orhan Awatramani, continues to share behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the soirée. His latest revelation revolves around his memorable exchange with Rihanna.
Orry admits to initially being unaware of Rihanna’s identity. Speaking at an India Today event, he confessed to misreading her Instagram handle as ‘Badalgiri’ instead of ‘Badgalriri.’
Nonetheless, he expressed admiration for her, sharing, “I love Rihanna…I have been following ‘Badalgiri’ on Instagram and I loved her.”
“I love Rihanna. For the longest time, I did not know who she was. I read her Instagram name, which is ‘Badgalriri’, as ‘Badalgiri’. So, I have been following ‘Badalgiri’ on Instagram and I loved her.”
Expanding on his encounter with Rihanna, Orry divulged that it was part of his strategic approach to garner attention. He outlined his ‘OOO’ or ‘OOI’ strategy – Objects of Orry and Objects of Interest. Orry’s distinctive fashion choices often spark conversation, and he anticipated Rihanna’s interest in his classy diamond earrings. True to his prediction, Rihanna not only noticed him but also expressed admiration for his accessories.
“My marketing trick, which I shouldn’t be revealing this early, is ‘OOO’ or ‘OOI’ – Objects of Orry/Objects of Interest. I will make a little museum one day. In my outfit, there will always be a talking point. I knew Rihanna was coming. I knew Rihanna would be looking, and I had to have a beautiful Object Of Interest in my head.”
Reflecting on the incident, Orry recounted how Rihanna was captivated by his earrings, leading him to seize the moment for publicity. However, within a mere seven minutes, Rihanna managed to misplace one earring, returning for the other. Orry humorously remarked, “Took out the phone. Gave her the earring. Seven minutes later, she has lost the earring and has come back for the other one, and I pinned it on her top.”
“I wore these giant dandelion earrings, knowing she would see them, and rightfully, she did. She said, ‘I would like the earring please.’ I was like, ‘Of course!’ And I told my friend, ‘Take out your phone. This is the moment I wore this earring for.’ Took out the phone. Gave her the earring. Seven minutes later, she has lost the earring and has come back for the other one, and I pinned it on her top.”
A video capturing their playful exchange circulated online, further amplifying Orry’s visibility. Despite the humorous tone, Orry’s strategic maneuvering was evident.
“RiRi Stole Orry’s crystal earrings lmao!!”
Rihanna’s performance at the event was soul-stirring, captivating the audience and reportedly earning her a substantial fee of USD 5 million. Orry’s revelations shed light on the intricacies of navigating celebrity interactions within the realm of marketing.
