Orry Slammed For ‘Insensitive’ Video Mocking Trans Women; Netizens Label His Act ‘Shameful’

Orhan Awatramani, widely recognised as Orry, is under fire for an Instagram video that many found offensive to the transgender community. Known for his vibrant personality and sharp social media presence, Orry has been criticised for sharing a video that users labelled as "insensitive" and "disrespectful." The video included a transphobic slur, leading to backlash from social media users and transgender actor Trinetra.

Orry shared a clip from a comedy show set, featuring two actors dressed as transgender women in a mock fight. He captioned it with, "POV: you attended a comedy show and 2 chakkas get into a quarrel behind you," followed by, "But how can she slap (crying emoji)." This post quickly drew criticism across various platforms.

Social Media Outrage

The video sparked outrage among social media users who accused Orry of using derogatory language. Many expressed their disappointment and anger, with actor Trinetra responding with a firm "NO" in capital letters. One user commented, "This is EMBARRASSING, Orry! Using a slur that demeans an entire community is LOW!"

Another user criticised the post by saying, "Not funny. Mocking trans women while profiting off queer culture is pure hypocrisy." Others joined in the condemnation, labelling his actions as "tone-deaf" and "distasteful." A user added, "When you dress up like Sabrina or any other woman for cosplay and South Bombay chic but use a slur without impunity? This is not cool!"

Orry's Background

Orhan Awatramani is known as a Mumbai-based socialite and influencer. He stands out for his flamboyant fashion sense and celebrity connections. A graduate of New York's Parsons School of Design, he frequently attends Bollywood parties alongside stars like Janhvi Kapoor, Nysa Devgn, and Suhana Khan.

Despite his public persona, Orry's professional role remains somewhat mysterious. He reportedly works with the Reliance Group but often jokes about the ambiguity surrounding his exact position within the company.

The incident highlights ongoing issues around sensitivity towards marginalised communities on social media platforms. It serves as a reminder of the responsibility influencers have in shaping public discourse through their content.
