Why does this story matter?
Before the chat controversy erupted with Tiwari, Orry was in the news over the comments he made about Salaar actor Shruti Haasan. Responding to a social media user recently, Orry said that he finds Haasan very rude, as she behaved very poorly with him at an event he apparently got her into.
Haasan also responded to Orry's comments saying she treats people the way they treat her.

In his defense
Orry faced backlash for sharing chat; defended himself
After sharing the chat, Orry faced backlash on social media for his perceived arrogance.
In response, he took to Reddit and wrote, "Why is no one asking what she's apologizing for ..? Think about it? You're all grilling me for not happily accepting her apology? But she's obviously apologizing for something she did that was wrong.. wrong enough that a 3rd party had to get involved and make her see it correctly."
