The footage, which shows Salim exiting a cinema hall while holding a handbag and dressed in a white shirt with yellow patchwork and black trousers, has garnered significant attention online. During the interaction with paparazzi, Salim mentioned he would be traveling to Kollam, though he resides in Kochi.
In response to the video, Orry, who is known for his presence at high-profile Bollywood events and parties, commented, “Lip color is off and I have no idea of what you are saying, but other than that it’s good only.” His comment added to the buzz surrounding the video, which was posted in June and has amassed over 14 million views and more than 100,000 likes.
Orry, a regular at glamorous Mumbai events and a favorite among paparazzi, is frequently spotted at parties hosted by celebrities such as the Ambani family. Despite the viral success of Salim’s video, it sparked a comparison among fans, with some users expressing preferences for Orry over Salim.
Riyas Salim, who boasts over 269,000 Instagram followers, responded to the attention by acknowledging the focus on his life, saying, “Thanks for obsessing over me everybody. Your dedication to my life is touching.”
