Social media personality Orhan Awatramani, popularly known as Orry, has once again made headlines after renewing his criticism of YouTuber and political commentator Dhruv Rathee during a recent podcast appearance.
Speaking candidly about the ongoing disagreement between the two, Orry alleged that Rathee used his image in a video thumbnail, leading him to watch content that he believed was not actually focused on him.
The latest remarks have reignited discussions surrounding a public feud that first gained attention in 2025.
Orry Claims He Was Misled by a Thumbnail
During an appearance on the KK Create Podcast, Orry explained why he remains critical of Dhruv Rathee.
According to Orry, he clicked on one of Rathee’s videos after noticing his image featured in the thumbnail. However, he claimed that his appearance in the content itself was extremely brief.
Orry alleged that he felt misled because the video was largely unrelated to him despite featuring his image prominently in promotional material.
He described the experience as frustrating and said that he ended up watching a lengthy video expecting it to be focused on him.
Criticism of Dhruv Rathee’s Content Choices
Beyond the thumbnail controversy, Orry also questioned Rathee’s content selection and editorial approach.
He suggested that the YouTuber often discusses topics that align with his preferred narrative while allegedly overlooking other issues.
While Orry acknowledged that he does not regularly follow all of Rathee’s content, he expressed disagreement with the way certain subjects are covered and reiterated that he is not a supporter of Rathee’s work.
These comments quickly circulated across social media platforms, drawing reactions from supporters and critics of both personalities.
A Long-Running Public Disagreement
The latest exchange is part of an ongoing public dispute that began after Dhruv Rathee released a video discussing beauty standards, cosmetic procedures and the influence of celebrity culture.
The video explored the broader impact of cosmetic enhancements on society and included references to several public figures from the entertainment industry.
At the time, some social media users connected the discussion to actor Janhvi Kapoor, prompting widespread online debate.
Orry Previously Defended Janhvi Kapoor
Following the release of Rathee’s video, Orry publicly defended Janhvi Kapoor and criticized Rathee through social media comments.
His remarks gained attention online and led to discussions among fans and content creators.
The disagreement subsequently became one of the more widely discussed influencer-versus-YouTuber controversies on Indian social media.
Dhruv Rathee’s Earlier Response
In response to criticism surrounding the video, Rathee previously clarified that the content focused on the cosmetic surgery industry and its broader societal implications rather than targeting any individual celebrity.
He stated that the purpose of the video was to discuss how beauty standards and cosmetic procedures influence public perceptions and behavior.
Rathee also addressed questions regarding thumbnails, noting that different thumbnail variations are often used across YouTube videos as part of standard platform practices.
He encouraged viewers to watch the full video before drawing conclusions about its content.
Social Media Reacts
The renewed exchange between Orry and Dhruv Rathee has once again generated significant online engagement.
Supporters of Orry argued that thumbnails should accurately reflect video content, while others defended Rathee’s approach, noting that thumbnails are commonly used to attract viewer attention on digital platforms.
As clips from the podcast continue to circulate, the discussion has become another example of how disagreements between influencers and digital creators can quickly become major talking points online.
The Debate Continues
Although both personalities have established large followings in their respective spaces, their differing views and public comments continue to fuel debate among internet users.
For now, Orry’s latest remarks have brought renewed attention to a controversy that began with a YouTube thumbnail and has since evolved into one of the more talked-about social media disputes involving prominent online personalities.
