Just like partying and holidaying Orry loves celebrating festivals. On Raksha Bandhan we bet he’s got a rakhi in one hand and a selfie stick on the other, tying bonds tighter than his designer jackets! While Orry doesn’t have any biological sisters, he says he found many during his time at boarding school—and later, in showbiz.
“I don’t have any blood sisters, but boarding school prepared me for sisterhood in the wild — catfights, stolen moisturizers, emotional sabotage and whatnot. I’ve been spiritually sistered since age ten,” he shares.S
peaking about his close bond with Janhvi Kapoor, Orry adds, “Some ties are blood, some are bonded by trauma, and in Janhvi’s case, I claimed her dad as mine, so it’s less rakhi, more hostile takeover.”In real life, Orry has a brother named Kabir. Reflecting on their relationship, he says, “Kabir’s my brother — but he could learn a thing or two from my dorm brothers at Kodai (his school in Kodaikanal). They showed me the meaning of family; letting me eat their meals, doing my homework, and sleeping on the floor, so I could have a suite. Please note he is also my older brother even though people constantly mistake him for younger.
.. probably because he is not as accomplished as I am.”
