Orry vs Sara Ali Khan: 5 Major Controversies 

From career jabs to drug probes, a look at Orry’s most polarizing public scandals.

Is it possible to become so famous for being a “bestie” that you eventually become the industry’s biggest liability?

The once-unbreakable bond between Bollywood star Sara Ali Khan and social media mainstay Orhan Awatramani, known universally as Orry, has officially hit a terminal point. In the high-stakes world of digital influence, alliances are often fragile, but this fallout feels different.

It wasn’t a private disagreement; it was a public execution of a friendship played out through Instagram reels and disparaging comments that have left the industry questioning Orry’s staying power.

The feud reached its boiling point on January 26, 2026, when Orry took a direct swipe at Sara’s professional integrity. Responding to a fan’s query about his outfit, he claimed a specific garment was holding together “Sara Ali Khan’s hits.”

This wasn’t just a joke; it was a targeted jab at her recent box-office performance Link text. The remark came shortly after Orry posted a controversial “3 worst names” reel, which featured the names Sara, Amrita (her mother), and Palak (Tiwari), prompting Sara and her brother Ibrahim to immediately unfollow him Link text.

5 Times Orry Landed in the Middle of Controversy

While the Sara Ali Khan spat is the most recent, it is merely the latest chapter in a year-long string of scandals that have redefined Orry’s public image:

• The Sara Ali Khan Career Swipe: The Jan 2026 fallout where Orry’s “hits” comment led to widespread accusations of “bullying” from netizens Link text.
• Disrespecting National Icons: In October 2025, he faced a massive backlash for misnaming Lata Mangeshkar as “Lata Mangeshwari” and calling Falguni Pathak “Falguni Peacock” during a concert, drawing the ire of former Bigg Boss contestant Rajiv Adatia Link text.
• The INR 252 Crore Drug Probe: Orry was summoned by the Mumbai Police Anti-Narcotics Cell in late 2025 in connection with a massive mephedrone seizure case and his alleged ties to key accused Mohammed Salim Shaikh Link text.
• Vaishno Devi Legal Trouble: In March 2025, an FIR was registered against him in Katra for allegedly violating prohibitory orders by consuming alcohol and non-vegetarian food at the religious site’s base camp Link text.
• Transphobic Language Allegations: In November 2025, he was condemned by activists and the LGBTQ+ community for using a transphobic slur in a video caption, sparking accusations of hypocrisy given his own queer-coded fashion choices Link text.

The Shift from Insider to Outcast

Orry’s trajectory has shifted from an “eccentric Bollywood insider” to a figure frequently at odds with the very community that birthed his fame.

His use of transphobic language was particularly damaging, as critics like Trinetra Haldar Gummaraju highlighted the disconnect between his “camp” persona and his derogatory language Link text.

Key Takeaways from the Controversy:

• Social media influence is a double-edged sword; Orry’s “bullying” behavior has led to a significant loss of celebrity allies.
• Legal and religious violations like the Vaishno Devi incident have sparked large-scale “ban” campaigns.
• National icons like Lata Mangeshkar remain a “red line” for the Indian public that influencers cannot cross without severe consequences.

Orry may still be “the man who is everywhere,” but as his list of enemies grows, he is increasingly finding himself alone in the spotlight.
