Sara Ali Khan and Brother Ibrahim Cut Ties with Orry After Career Digs
The Bollywood social scene is abuzz with drama as actress Sara Ali Khan and her brother Ibrahim Ali Khan have officially unfollowed social media personality Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, on Instagram. This move comes in response to a series of public jibes made by Orry targeting Sara's acting career, marking a significant fallout between the once-close friends.
Orry's Controversial Social Media Posts Spark Backlash
On Monday, Orry participated in a viral trend by recreating content creator Amulya Rattan's 'civic sense' video. While the video itself featured Orry in a distinctive blue mesh top with a printed bra outline, it was his comment in the replies that ignited controversy. When a user questioned, "Genuine question: What exactly is that bra holding together?" Orry responded with, "Sara Ali Khan's hits." This sarcastic remark, implying a lack of successful films in Sara's career, quickly drew widespread criticism from netizens, who labeled Orry's behavior as "pathetic" and unnecessarily harsh.
The Escalating Rift Between Former Best Friends
The tension between Sara and Orry had been brewing for some time. Earlier, Orry posted a reel titled "3 worst names," listing Sara, Amrita, and Palak without surnames. For context, Amrita Singh is Sara's mother, and Palak Tiwary is reportedly dating Ibrahim Ali Khan. Following this post, both Sara and Ibrahim decided to unfollow Orry on Instagram, signaling a clear break in their relationship. Orry has since made additional comments, further fueling speculation about their strained dynamic.
Orry's Past Comments on Sara Ali Khan and Her Family
In a 2023 Reddit AMA session, Orry reflected on his relationship with Sara, describing them as "best friends in college" who drifted apart after graduation but reconnected during the lockdown, becoming "inseparable." He noted that after he moved to the UK and Sara pursued acting in India, they grew apart due to different motivations, but emphasized they remained "dear old friends" who always answered each other's calls. When asked if Sara was serious about acting or just pleasing her mother, Orry confidently stated, "that girl eats, breaths and drinks acting as a career," praising her as a strong independent woman like her mother. He also commented on Ibrahim, calling him "very handsome" but "very annoying," though his recent actions suggest a shift in this camaraderie.
