Actors Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Pandaymade an appearance on the latest episode of Koffee with Karan season 8. The episode was all sass and fun, with the duo opening up about ‘Bollywood’s BFF’ Orhan Awatramani aka Orry. Sara brought up Orry’s name while answering a question and just like the netizens, Karan could not resist and he asked, “Who is Orry?”
Sara replied and said, “Who doesn’t know who Orry is?” Ananya added, “Someone didn’t know and I tried to explain who Orry is. And he told me that he is ‘loved but misunderstood.’ I think he is going by that now.”
An amused Karan said, “But that’s what you call a phenomenon, not a person.” Ananya replied, “That’s all I was told to say.” Karan laughed and asked, “But that’s not a profession. But there is also a job people have. What is his job?” Sara, who clearly did not have an answer said, “I think he is a funny person. He is got this energy.”
Ananya also agreed with Sara and said, “He is funny. He is good with captions. I keep asking him for captions. He dresses well.” Karan, who was still waiting for an answer, said, “You still haven’t told me what he does.” Ananya replied, “Not sure about that answer. He does a lot. He works for himself.” Sara added, “He works on himself also.”

Orry is often spotted partying with celebrities including Janhvi Kapoor, Nysa Devgn, Nita Ambani and Deepika Padukone. Based on Orry’s LinkedIn profile, he’s a social activist in Mumbai and works as a Special Project Manager at the Reliance Industries Limited chairperson’s Office. He completed his Bachelor’s in Fine Arts and Communication Design at New York’s Parsons School of Design.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Orry had opened up about himself and had said, “I am working on myself. I am going to the gym, I am doing a lot of self-reflection, sometimes I do Yoga, I go for a massage, I am working, but I am working on myself.”
He also went on to add, “I’m a singer, a songwriter, a fashion designer, a creative director, a stylist, an executive assistant, a shopper, and sometimes a football player, I don’t know. I feel like life is about having dreams. Inflate your dreams, give them wings to fly, and seize every opportunity.’ I looked her in the eyes and said, ‘I’m the kind of person that if you ask me to paint something for your wall, I’ll paint the entire house.”
