I don’t really believe in TV or television” says Orry in one interview, expanding TV to television in case you’ve not heard of this retro pastime. It is in fact a matter of faith and belief. Orry worships at the church of social media, and speaks in its tongue. It is almost as if he were created by Chat GPT. Asked to describe Rakhi Sawant in one word, his eyes widen. “One word is not enough.” He pauses. You await the overflow and receive: “Iconic. Relevant. Thriving”. Three whole hashtags.

Facts that circulate about Orry all seem to originate with him. Their plentiful selfies suggest friendship between Orry and Ananya Pandey. But anyone could give you the information Ms. Pandey gave us on Koffee with Karan—because Orry gave it first. “He’s going by he’s loved but misunderstood-that’s what he told me” she responded to the query about what Orry does. That is indeed the vibe on his Instagram where the clothes are fab and the aura moody, with captions like “Don’t make me sad. don’t make me cry...  sometimes life is not enough and the road gets tough I don’t why.” This accompanied a photo of Orry sprawled on a yacht in Monac , no bad place for a simmer of sads. “He’s good with captions. I keep asking him for captions” says Ananya, “he works a lot. He works—on himself”, basically Orry’s words in a video interview with Cosmopolitan.
