Orry opens up about equation with Sara Ali Khan after being rumoured to have slammed her online: ‘We were best friends in college, ew’

Internet sensation Orry, aka Orhan Awatramani, spilled the tea about Bollywood celebrities in a recent AMA session on Reddit. He answered questions about attending Shah Rukh Khan’s grand 58th birthday party recently, and also spoke about his several star-kid friends, such as Suhana Khan, Janhvi Kapoor and Nysa Devgan. But Orry also took the time to clear the air about a rumoured feud between him and actor Sara Ali Khan, that gained steam on Reddit itself a few months ago. Orry praised Sara’s work ethic, and called her a dedicated actor both on an off the screen.

Orry was rumoured to have repeatedly slammed Sara via a decoy account on Reddit, questioning her efforts to appeal to middle India, and criticising her skills as an actor. On Christmas, however, Orry gave a long answer when asked about his ‘equation with Sara’. He said, “Let me tell you something about Sara Ali Khan, we were best friends in college 🤢ew🤮I know right ? And then suddenly we drifted apart over night after we graduated .. but suddenly came back together during lock down where we were attached by the hip and people would say ‘inseparable’.. shortly after I moved to the UK to farm (yes that’s true) and she stayed in India to pursue her career in acting… and I guess when I came back we were both different people with different motivations and ambitions, on different wavelengths but 100% still dear old friends. There has never been a phone call that she has not picked up of mine and vice versa.”

Asked if Sara is actually serious about acting or if she’s just doing it to ‘please her mom’, Orry replied, “I can with whole confidence say, that girl eats, breaths and drinks acting as a career. It is the only thing she is passionate about and it’s on her mind 24×7. She is a full time actor, on screen and off and you have you reward her for that, and just like her mom, she is a strong independent woman, does not do anything to please anyone.” On a recent episode of Koffee with Karan, host Karan Johar asked Sara Ali Khan what Orry does for a living, and she said, “He is a man of many things, he is a really funny person.”

During the AMA, Orry also described Sara’s brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan, as “very handsome, and if u can get past that… then very annoying also.. but he’s so handsome u won’t even r realise.” Ibrahim and Sara are the children of Saif Ali Khan and former wife Amrita Singh. Saif has two more children with wife Kareena Kapoor – Taimur and Jehangir Ali Khan. Sara made her acting debut with Kedarnath in 2018. She then appeared in a string of flops such as Love Aaj Kal, Coolie No. 1, and Gaslight, but bounced back this year with the box office hit Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.
