Unapologetic, unabashed, and unfiltered, Orry spills the beans about his life and adventures, and how 2023 made him a pap favourite and a social media sensation.

‘I work on myself. I am a liver.’ These two lines that Orhan Awatramani aka Orry said in his earlier interviews, became quite famous, maybe more than any movie dialogue. And they continue to define his personality.

Orry a global fashion influencer

A social media sensation, a global fashion influencer, and Bollywood’s Gen-Z BFF, Orry just came, smiled, posed, got papped, and became the most talked-about person on the internet. So, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that 2023 saw him everywhere — from parties, events, and award shows to pap pages and all over Instagram.

Orry had become a pap favourite and was clicked at every possible outing. While many celebs these days tip off the paparazzi about their whereabouts, and then act surprised on spotting them at the airport or outside the gym, Orry feels there’s nothing wrong in calling them. He admits he had done that so many times.

Bigg Boss Was not at all planned

He says “What happens is I travel a lot. So every time the media attention or any attention goes up a little bit, I’m out, I’ve left, I’ve traveled. Right now I’ve been in Mumbai for a really long time, for a month or two. So, I think things picked up,” Orry says, adding, “On top of that I did some interviews, and then Bigg Boss happened. I feel like I have way more hours in a day than anybody else.”

He says Bigg Boss was offered to him many times, over the years. Orry says that he would never go there as a contestant. He admits that he lacks time, so when they approached Orry for the prank he agreed.

Does he Charge Rs. 20-30 lakh for just a selfie?

Perhaps one of the biggest and most interesting revelations Orry made on national television was when he said that he makes Rs. 20-30 lakhs for selfies.

On a serious note, he elaborates,  “I can charge up between ₹20 to 30 lakhs a night as the cover fee to come to your event. People call me to their farmhouses and say, ‘My father, mother and my in-laws will all put ₹5 lakh each, my wife and I will put ₹2.5 lakh, so that’s 25 lakh total, please come to our party’. The difference is that when a celebrity comes for such events, they’ll come, do their performance and bounce off. That’s not what you’re buying from me. The ‘Orry presence’ is very different. I’ll come for your party, stay for the whole party, or till whenever I decide to leave and meet everyone as if I’m your friend and take pictures with all your guests. Basically, you’re not getting a touch of celebrity, or a celebrity dancer. You’re getting a celebrity at the party, which means Orry has come as a friend. So, it’s not ₹20 lakhs for those selfies, it’s for that night. You bought into the concept of Orry being at your party.
