Pop singer Rihanna met Orry in Jamnagar during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebrations.

New Delhi: Pop singer Rihanna made an appearance in Jamnagar during Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's pre-wedding celebrations. Orry, real name Orhan Awatramani, recently posted photos of himself with Rihanna on Instagram, from the Ambanis gala. At an India Today event, Orry reportedly said that he had never heard of Rihanna before and that their entire interaction at the Ambani bash was really a "marketing trick." 

Orry talks about meeting Rihanna

Orry said, “I love Rihanna. For the longest time, I did not know who she was. I read her Instagram name, which is ‘Badgalriri’, as ‘Badalgiri’. So, I have been following ‘Badalgiri’ on Instagram and I loved her.”

The social media star went on to discuss their viral encounter. “My marketing trick, that I shouldn’t be revealing this early, is ‘OOO’ or ‘OOI’ – Objects of Orry/Objects of Interest. I will make a little museum one day. In my outfit, there will always be a talking point. I knew Rihanna was coming. I knew Rihanna would be looking, and I had to have a beautiful Object Of Interest in my head. I wore these giant dandelion earrings, knowing she would see them, and rightfully, she did. She said, ‘I would like the earring please.’ I was like, ‘Of course!’ And I told my friend, ‘Take out your phone. This is the moment I wore this earring for.’ Took out the phone. Gave her the earring. Seven minutes later, she has lost the earrings and has come back for the other one, and I pinned it on her top," he said. 

Rihanna was photographed posing with Orry in the pictures that he had posted. She was holding his earrings. “The journey of my earrings. They’re in a better place now. They found love in Jamnagar,” the caption read.

Rihanna was also seen in one of the photos posing for a picture with Shah Rukh Khan and flashing Orry's earring.
