Orry on Sara Ali Khan fallout: 'I never got any apology'
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Social media personality Orry has publicly addressed his estrangement from Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan, revealing on a recent celebrity chat show that he was deeply hurt by the actress and her mother, veteran actor Amrita Singh, and has chosen to permanently close the door on the friendship. The candid disclosure came during his appearance on Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi's show 'Double Date', where Orry spoke at length about genuine connections, one-sided support, and people who had let him down.
How the Fallout Unfolded
Orry recalled standing by Sara Ali Khan during what he described as a particularly difficult period in her life, saying he refused to distance himself despite pressure from others. 'We were childhood friends, and we went to college together. We were in Goa when Sara was going through a very big case, and I was with her throughout this. Everyone was telling me to leave her, but I didn't,' he said on the show.
He also recounted an unpleasant experience involving Amrita Singh, claiming she had scolded him and spoken about him to others. The episode, he said, was a significant factor in his decision to unfollow her on social media.
Why He Says the Friendship Cannot Continue
'If I pretend to be friends with her now, that means whatever her mother did to me, whatever she spoke about me to everyone else, that means she is okay with it. And I never got any apology. I can't stay friends with her,' Orry said during the conversation.
He was unambiguous about his stance on insincere relationships, adding: 'I chase genuine friendship. I do not want to maintain a friendship that is not genuine. I am a fake person, main bahar se aur andar se poora nakli ho sakta hoon, if you want me to be fake.' The remark, laced with self-aware irony, underscored his position that the absence of authenticity from the other side was the breaking point.
Khatron Ke Khiladi and the Friends Who Went Silent
Orry also revealed a separate episode of disappointment, saying that people he had considered close friends failed to so much as share a story or like a post while he was competing on the physically and mentally demanding reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi. The lack of support, he suggested, confirmed his view that several friendships in his social circle were largely performative.
Context and Public Reaction
Orry — known for his high-profile presence at Bollywood events and his large social media following — has previously been associated with several A-list celebrities. His friendship with Sara Ali Khan was considered one of his more prominent personal connections given their shared history as childhood friends and college batchmates. Neither Sara Ali Khan nor Amrita Singh has publicly responded to Orry's remarks as of the time of publication.
The disclosure is likely to fuel further public interest in celebrity friendship dynamics in Bollywood, a subject that draws significant audience engagement on social media and entertainment platforms. Whether Sara or Amrita Singh choose to respond publicly remains to be seen.
