Bollywood on-screen siblings in style, generation bridging through a camera lens. Young icons Nysa Devgan and Orhan Awatramani—better known as “Orry”—have recreated a landmark 1996 magazine photoshoot between Kajol and Rekha. The original spread stirred conversations almost three decades ago. Now the Gen Z duo injects it with modern flair.
Revisiting a legendary moment
The original photoshoot for Cineblitz in 1996 featured Kajol and Rekha in an oversized off-shoulder sweater, posing together in ways that were daring for its time.
In their version: Nysa steps into her mother Kajol’s place, while Orry channels Rekha’s persona—including pose, expression and attitude. They aren’t simply copying; they’re reinterpreting.
The Gen Z twist
While staying faithful to wardrobe, lighting and mood, the pair add a playful, updated spin. In an Instagram Reel released ahead of Halloween 2025, the visuals capture preparation, styling and the final frames. Orry captioned the post: “Genz equivalent of the (2/7 HW’25)” — cryptic yet clearly signalling generational shift.
The post sparked praise from fans, celebrities and social-media watchers, noting especially how Nysa resembles Kajol and how Orry nails Rekha’s magnetism.
Why this matters
