Orry opens up about his dramatic weight loss journey, the extremes he went to for fame, and why he believes "cheating" in life is fair game. Orhan Awatramani—better known to the internet as Orry—is one of the most recognisable faces in India’s Gen-Z celebrity circle. From Bollywood parties to viral Instagram selfies with star kids, Orry has become a fixture in the influencer scene.
But as he revealed in a brutally honest chat on SCREEN’s The Suvir Saran Show, the path to fame wasn’t all filters and fashion—it took grit, discipline, and a dose of controversy. “In the beginning of 2023, I was really fat. I was really large—70-something kilos," Orry said.
“This is pre-Ozempic. And it was 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 on TV." What followed was a period of intense self-discipline—and unhealthy extremes.
“I really starved myself," he admitted. “Some days I’d wake up with neck pain because I’d fallen asleep on the toilet after throwing up dinner. But it worked—I lost the weight.
Technically it’s cheating, but I did what I had to do." Orry didn’t just stop there. He openly supports bending the rules in life, if that’s what it takes.
“I support cheating—not in games, because then the win doesn’t feel real. But in life? I’m all for it," he said. “If you use Ozempic, that’s cheating, but I’d support it.
If you’re in love with one person but also another, I’d support it. If you’re a bodybuilder and take steroids, I’d support that too. Do what you got to do to get where you want to get.
" While his views may spark debate, Orry’s influence remains undeniable. Often seen at A-list events and private Bollywood gatherings, he shares screen time with Gen-Z stars like Janhvi Kapoor and Ananya Panday. His cameos as himself in Amazon Prime Video’s Call Me Bae and Netflix’s Nadaaniyan have further cemented his identity as the influencer who became a cultural moment.
Raised in South Mumbai’s upscale Malabar Hill, Orry attended boarding school in Kodaikanal and later studied at Parsons School of Design in New York City. After returning to India, he worked briefly at Reliance and is known to be close to the Ambani family..
