Recently, actor Suchitra Krishnamoorthi raised her concern over the impact of Orry in Bollywood where popularity is given importance over talent. She spoke about the focus being on clothes and lifestyle-related content surrounding celebrities instead of their professional achievements.
She even highlighted the trend of flaunting designer labels as a status symbol, describing it as an act that reflects insecurity and a lack of individuality. However, she termed this as the 'Orry culture'. Now, internet sensation Orry has reacted to Suchitra's comment on him and terms him as a cultural change. He shared a screenshot of Suchitra’s words and wrote, “Who is this woman? And what even is Orry culture? What is going on? And why does she keep talking about me? I am so confused right now. I have never met her. And why is something someone’s friends saying making headlines? These are the questions that haunt me and keep me awake all night! (sic).”
In her note on X, Suchitra wrote, "An artist or an individual of caliber is a brand by themselves. Mastery and excellence in their field of work are the only brands an artist needs to aspire to. To flaunt other people's labels that reek of a price tag, to do it because it is a status symbol and what the other rich do in my view reeks of insecurity and a lack of individuality. Cowardice." Suchitra also shared a story of a former personal trainer who took a loan to purchase a designer bag to match the lifestyle of her celebrity clientele. Krishnamoorthi quoted the trainer who told her, "I don't want him to get into this #Orry culture - it's dangerous. He has to do something on his own. He has to realize that just posting photos with celebrities doesn't make him one."

Coming from humble small town beginings, he very honestly stated that when he was acquiring wealth in his earlier days ,…
"Still on ur designer bag trip? I asked her. No way she said. Because her son was now asking for photos with her celebrity clientele to post on social media.
"What nonsense. I dont want him to get into this #orry culture - its dangerous. He has to do something on his own. He has to realize that just posting photos with celebrities does not make him one".
