Internet sensation Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, reasserted his claim that he makes lakhs upon lakhs from public appearances. In an interview, he refused to reveal any details about what he does for work. However, he emphasised that he has no interest in holding a conventional job, and that his affairs are managed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Cornerstone Agency.
Appearing on Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast, he said, “I have no interest in doing films or shows. Who dreams of hard labour? Nobody. I hate work, and doing films and TV is a lot of work. And in this industry, work never ends. You take the work home with you, your life revolves around your work. People think it’s an easy life, but it isn’t.”
Opening up about his source of income, Orry explained that he charges a ‘bomb’ for appearances. He said, “Do I look cheap? I charge Rs 25 lakh if you ask me for a photo. If I offer one myself, I don’t charge. If someone formally asks for Orry’s touch, it’s Rs 2o lakh.” He said that he has around a dozen manager who take care of his life and professional commitments. “I have formal team at Dharma Cornerstone Agency, and then I have my own people,” he said.
Orry has made headlines for his past claims about income. He rose to fame by appearing on the Instagram feeds of the rich and the famous, and has become a fixture at high-profile Bollywood parties. He told Hindustan Times in a recent interview, “People call me to their farmhouses and say, ‘My father, mother and my in-laws will all put Rs 5 lakh each, my wife and I will put Rs 2.5 lakh, so that’s Rs 25 lakh total, please come to our party’.”
