Why We’re Siding With Orry in His Feud With Rajiv Adatia: The Internet Needs to Chill

The Orry–Rajiv Adatia feud has become October 2025’s most viral social-media drama, but beneath the memes and Insta-stories lies a cultural clash not between right and wrong, but between reverence and relevance.

Influencer Orhan Awatramani, a.k.a. Orry, accidentally sparked outrage when he joked about Falguni Pathak and misnamed Lata Mangeshkar during a concert reel. Rajiv Adatia, known from Bigg Boss 15, called him out for “mocking legends,” leading to a volley of insults that kept fans glued to their phones.

At AltBollywood, we’re clear: we side with Orry — not because we endorse irreverence, but because he represents the unapologetic, self-aware digital persona that defines India’s new celebrity culture.

Why Orry Isn’t Wrong — He’s Just Real

Orry’s humour sits in the grey zone of modern Indian pop culture — half parody, half performance art. His jokes often exaggerate celebrity life rather than disrespect it.When he quipped about Falguni Pathak, the intent was playful exaggeration, not mockery. And while reverence for icons like Lata Mangeshkar is sacred, outrage without context only fuels digital noise.

In an attention-economy, Orry understands what most influencers don’t — how to convert backlash into virality without losing authenticity.

The Cultural Context: India’s Battle Between Legacy and Meme Culture

Rajiv Adatia embodies the old-school Bollywood respect system where every legend is above humour. Orry embodies the meme-era India where reverence coexists with remix culture.Both worlds matter. But if entertainment is to stay relevant, it can’t be built on fear of offence.

Orry didn’t just survive the controversy; he controlled it. Every insult became a headline, every jab a viral quote. That’s not arrogance — that’s algorithmic literacy.

Conclusion

Rajiv may have fought for reverence, but Orry mastered relevance. In 2025’s influencer landscape, that’s the real win.
