Samir Soni slams Orhan Awatramani aka Orry for consuming alcohol near Vaishno Devi shrine: ‘If my 12-year-old daughter listens to all this…’ | Hindi Movie News

Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, along with seven others, including a Russian national, was booked in Katra, Jammu, for violating local laws by allegedly consuming alcohol near the Vaishno Devi shrine. The region strictly prohibits liquor and non-vegetarian food to maintain its religious sanctity. While several Bollywood celebrities have stayed silent on the issue, actor Samir Soni has strongly criticized Orry’s actions, calling them irresponsible and offensive.
Samir Soni on Orry’s actions
Speaking to Republic TV, Samir Soni said, “This looks like a very innocuous thing—so what if he does that? But if you dig deeper, it is wrong on so many levels. It’s wrong in the sense that you are committing a crime—you are drinking where you are not supposed to.”
He further condemned the act, saying, “You are being insensitive by drinking in a place like Vaishno Devi, where people literally walk on all fours for miles to reach the temple. It is incredibly irresponsible, and you are gloating about it as if you have done something good. And then you call yourself an influencer?”

Samir also expressed concern about the negative influence on the younger generation, including his 12-year-old daughter, Ahana Soni. He added, “As a generation, we have failed. We have failed to stop such people and tell them that it is not cool to use abusive language or crack these kinds of jokes.”
Orry remains silent amid controversy
Despite being highly active on social media, Orry has not responded to the backlash following the incident. His sudden online absence has only fueled speculation and criticism.
