Who is Orhan Awatramani? - by Mannat Sharma
Welcome to the glittering world of Orry Awatramani – the elusive socialite and the "it" friend of the rich and famous.
There are endless talks of his role as Isha Ambani's personal shopper, navigating the shazam of fashion, Bollywood, and all things fabulous. Yet, Orry's ‘magic’ goes beyond mere connections; it's his PR, a subtle yet amazing marketing dance that leaves us all thinking and commenting on posts. The question arises: why is he stepping into the spotlight now? Perhaps, it's the timeless charm of being a socialite. It’s been around for a while, we’ve just noticed it now.
Behind the glossy show lies the real Orhan – a story as simple as riches intersecting with riches. And mind you, Richie Rich. Effortlessly mingling with the offsprings of wealth & nepotism, from Sara to Janhvi, the Ambanis to the Kapoors, Orry puts up quite a show. However, there is no romantic saga; it's just a show within the elite circles of Bollywood, with Orry as the Kardashian-inspired accessory for the privileged youth & us nobodies.
The buzz surrounding Orry didn’t just happen; it's a very very well-crafted PR game. He thrives as a crucial part of the nepotism brigade, maintaining their relevance in the media. By discussing him, we inadvertently contribute to this buzz, sustaining this glitz and glam of the elite in the public eye.
Orry's narrative unfolds with intriguing layers. Hailing from a wealthy NRI family, he is openly gay and embraces his sassy persona, gaining popularity on social media. A rich SoBo and Bandra regular, he forms connections with the likes of Vidhi Mukerjea, Sara Sultana, the Pahariya brothers, Aalia Eff, Navya Nanda, Alaviaa and Meezan Jaffry, and more. His vast social circle spans from the Pandey and Birla scions to Shanaya Kapoor and Sara Tendulkar. Phew.
Unveiling Orry's backstory adds depth to the glittering facade. His family, shrouded in low-profile opulence, boasts diverse enterprises and investments in Hollywood production houses. Not just a socialite, Orry is a rich NRI with extensive connections, weaving a web of relationships that span continents.
Orry’s father Suraj Kundanlal Awatramani has multiple businesses including liquor, hotels, real estate. Both his father and mother are registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.
His journey is marked by closeness with individuals like Sara and Janhvi, revealing the signature pattern of a sassy gay best friend trope. Studying at Parsons, Orry befriended the crème de la crème of Mumbai's affluent youth, including Alaaya F, Alaavia Jaffrey, and Tania Shroff. The narrative of childhood friendships in Bollywood, as with Sara and Janhvi, is nuanced, revealing a more complex web of mutual acquaintances and long-standing connections.
Parsons School of Design emerges as the crucible that molded Orry's enigmatic persona. His thesis on fake news, elegantly manipulated newspapers, and encounters with Hollywood royalty, notably Kylie Jenner, highlight his Hollywood-worthy connections. The BFF status with Sara, Vidhi Mukerjea, Navya Nanda, and others paints a picture of a social aunty, adept at cultivating friendships, orchestrating photo ops, and intriguing Hollywood whispers.
Yet, beneath the glitz lies a truth serum. Recent tales of Sara and Janhvi's camaraderie are exposed as fabricated, a concoction of PR magic. The reality reveals a close-knit clique, fake friendships, and a touch of manufactured glam.
In this realm where reality dons bespoke couture, Orry emerges as the gatekeeper, steering the narrative of glitz, glamour, and the carefully crafted illusions that define Bollywood. He is the puppet master of the rumour mill, ensuring the 'nepo' brigade remains bathed in the limelight. Thus, here's to Orry – the essential fuel for the Bollywood spectacle, orchestrating the dance of illusion we all indulge in.
