Orhan Awatramani aka Orry has been an internet sensation for a couple of years, but the social media influencer has worked hard to get there. On SCREEN’s The Suvir Saran Show, Orry opened up on how he was “large” and “fat” at the start of 2023, but made sure he lost weight when he decided to get famous.
“In the beginning of 2023, I was really fat. I was really large. I was 70-somethig kilos. And this is pre-Ozempic. And it’s the year I decided to get famous. But you can’t be fat and famous. That’s not how it works. No one wants to see a fat, 5-foot boy walk around on TV. So I really starved myself. Some days, I’d wake up with neck pain because I’d fall asleep on my toilet after throwing up my dinner. But it worked and I lost the weight! That’s cheating technically, but I did what I had to to get where I wanted to get,” recalled Orry.
He added, “I do support cheating. Not in a game perhaps because if you win, the satisfaction isn’t there, but in life. If you use Ozempic, that’s cheating, but I’d support that. If you were in love with one man or woman and another man or woman at the same time, I’d support you. If you’re a bodybuilder and you take steroids, I’d support that. Do what you got to do to get where you want to get.”
Orry is a social media influencer and a socialite who often shares glimpses from inside Bollywood parties on his social media platforms. He’s also friends with Gen-Z star kids like Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Panday, among others. He’s also appeared in cameos as himself in shows like Collin D’Cunha’s Call Me Bae (Amazon Prime Video India, 2024) and films like Shauna Gautam’s romantic comedy Nadaaniyan (Netflix India, 2025), both produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital wing of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
Born in a Malabar Hill, South Mumbai family, Orry went to boarding school in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu. He followed it up with a course at Parsons School of Design in New York City. Orry returned to India a couple of years after completing his course. He’s also worked at Reliance, and is close to the Ambani family.
