Content creator Orhan Awatramani, known as Orry, recently defended actor Janhvi Kapoor following a critical video by YouTuber Dhruv Rathee. In the video titled “The FAKE Beauty of Bollywood Celebrities,” Rathee accused several actors, including Kapoor, of undergoing cosmetic procedures. Orry strongly reacted to Rathee’s comments, labeling him as “anti-nationalist” and suggesting that Janhvi is unaware of his existence.
In his December 25 video, Rathee highlighted several celebrities, making claims about their possible use of plastic surgery and other aesthetic enhancements. He even used Janhvi’s image in the thumbnail, displaying what he alleged were before-and-after photos of her appearance. This video sparked significant discussion across social media platforms.
Orry stumbled upon an Instagram reel discussing Rathee’s content, noting that the YouTuber criticized Janhvi’s looks shortly after her Instagram statement regarding the tragic lynching in Bangladesh. Orry expressed his support for her by emphasizing that she likely doesn’t even know Rathee, reinforcing his criticism of the YouTuber’s motives.
Furthermore, Orry accused Rathee of seeking attention through such controversial videos, noting that he only recognized him as “that anti-nationalist” who complains about not being photographed by the media. His comments underscore a growing tension surrounding public perceptions of celebrity culture and the narratives pushed by online influencers.
This incident follows a similar backlash Rathee faced regarding Deepika Padukone. Following his claims about her alleged skin-lightening treatments, fans rallied to defend her against the targeting by Rathee. His history of stirring controversy includes previous criticisms of filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s project “Dhurandhar,” which Rathee described as a propaganda piece that distorts reality.
The ongoing dialogue around these controversies highlights the complex interplay between celebrity image, public perception, and social media commentary, illustrating how easily narratives can shift in today’s digital age. As Orry and others continue to support the celebrities under scrutiny, the debate over accountability and responsibility in online spaces remains highly relevant.
