In the glittering world of high-profile events, where celebrities collide and cameras flash like distant lightning, every moment holds the potential for viral sensation. Such was the case at Radhika-Anant’s pre-wedding gala, where a seemingly spontaneous exchange between Orry (Orhan Awatramani) and global icon Rihanna took the internet by storm. But was it all just a carefully orchestrated marketing ploy? Orry himself spilled the beans at an India Today event, unveiling the behind-the-scenes magic of his viral moment. In a series of Instagram posts, Orry proudly showcased himself alongside Rihanna, declaring that his earrings had “found love in Jamnagar” during the Ambani extravaganza.
However, the truth, as Orry revealed, was far more calculated than whimsical. In a moment of candor, he confessed that he had not been familiar with Rihanna prior to the event and that the entire earring exchange was part of his masterful marketing strategy. Enter “OOO” or “OOI” – Objects of Orry/Objects of Interest, Orry’s ingenious marketing tactic that he couldn’t resist sharing with the world. Knowing full well that Rihanna would be in attendance and that all eyes would be on her, Orry strategically adorned himself with attention-grabbing earrings, anticipating Rihanna’s inevitable gaze. True to his foresight, Rihanna couldn’t resist the allure of the striking accessory and promptly expressed her desire to acquire it. With a nonchalant demeanour, Orry graciously acquiesced to Rihanna’s request, sealing the deal with an effortless “of course.” Little did onlookers know, that this seemingly spontaneous exchange was the culmination of Orry’s meticulous planning and keen understanding of the power of visual storytelling in the age of social media.
