Orry Calls Dhruv Rathee ‘Anti-National’, Accuses Him Of Pushing An Anti-India Narrative

Recently, social media personality Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, once again targeted YouTuber and political commentator Dhruv Rathee.

During a podcast with KK Create, Orry openly expressed his dislike for Rathee and explained the reasons behind his criticism.

Orry Calls Dhruv Rathee's Thumbnails Misleading

Recalling an incident, Orry said Rathee had featured him in the thumbnail of one of his videos. Out of curiosity, he clicked on the video, expecting it to be about him. However, his appearance lasted only a few seconds.

According to Orry, the thumbnail felt misleading. He said he was frustrated after watching the entire 20-minute video because he assumed it would focus on him.

Orry further added, "I feel he covers topics very conveniently when it fits his narrative. I don't know what his topics are exactly because I don't follow everything, but he'll say something weird that doesn't make sense, and when he should be covering something, he just won't cover it. I just don't like the guy. Either you look bad, or your AI looks cheap."

The influencer also revealed a mocking nickname he uses for Rathee, 'Dhruv t**ti'. He said he came across it online and has been using it ever since.

Why Does Orry Dislike Dhruv Rathee?

In 2024, Dhruv Rathee released a video criticising Orry's friend, actor Jahnvi Kapoor. The video, titled The FAKE Beauty of Bollywood Celebrities, discussed cosmetic enhancements in Bollywood. In it, Rathee suggested that Kapoor had undergone cosmetic procedures, a claim that sparked debate online.

In response, Orry defended his friend and dismissed Rathee's remarks. He commented, "She probably doesn't even know who he is."

Orry further labelled Rathee "anti-national" and accused the YouTuber of creating controversial content to gain attention.

Rathee's Political Controversies

Rathee has frequently found himself at the centre of political debates. His remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi have drawn significant criticism online, including from actors Rupali Ganguly and Gul Panag.

In one of his posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, Dhruv encouraged foreign journalists to question the Prime Minister during overseas visits. He also commented, "Modi deserves to be humiliated everywhere he goes."

Responding to the controversy, Gul Panag said that while it is acceptable to disagree with a government or political leader as part of a democracy, attempting to diminish the office of India's Prime Minister on international platforms is not an appropriate form of protest.
