Don’t take anyone’s advice: Karisma’s pregnancy tip to Kareena
Mumbai : For actress Kareena Kapoor Khan, her sister Karisma has always given her the best life lessons. Now that Kareena is expecting her first child, her older sibling has suggested to her to stay away from everyone’s advice and to follow her instinct.
“Well, my advice (to Kareena) is, ‘Don’t take advice from anyone because everyone has some sort of advice to give to a mother-to-be’. I think you should just learn from own instinct and experiences,” Karisma, a mother of two, told IANS when asked if she has given some tips to her younger sister during this phase of her life.
Karisma has earlier penned a book, “My Yummy Mummy Guide: From Getting Pregnant to losing all the weight and beyond”, in which she shared advice ranging from finding the perfect maternity outfits to decorating children’s rooms and juggling work with motherhood to even planning the most stylish kiddie parties.
Kareena is said to be due for delivery in December with her first child with actor-husband Saif Ali Khan.
Breaking convention, Kareena took to the ramp for designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee at the finale of Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Winter/Festive 2016 here on Sunday night. She was glowing.
Karisma said proudly that her younger sister has always believed in setting trends.
“Kareena is always a trendsetter. Right from her first movie ‘Refugee’ to doing films like ‘Chameli’ so early in her career till now, walking the runway in this phase… I am excited,” said the actress who was seen cheering for Kareena from the front row of the show, sitting next to Deepika Padukone.
Talking about fashion, Karisma says that she has never taken the pressure of looking good.
“I think I never take the pressure. Over the years, I have evolved and my style is quite significant in the sense that I love classic cuts and I love a sophisticated chic look, so I’ve always stuck to that for so many years,” Karisma told IANS.
Also, comfort is the key for her.
“I think you have to be comfortable in what you wear. If you are uncomfortable, people will be uncomfortable seeing you. So I think comfort is very important. I believe in what I wear. I wear many key pieces which I have had in my cupboard, so it’s always nice to mix the old and the new,” she said.
International online casino Casino Days has published a report sharing their internal data on what types and brands of devices are used to play on the platform by users from the South Asian region.
Such aggregate data analyses allow the operator to optimise their website for the brands and models of devices people are actually using.
The insights gained through the research also help Casino Days tailor their services based on the better understanding of their clients and their needs.
Desktops and Tablets Lose the Battle vs Mobile
The primary data samples analysed by Casino Days reveal that mobile connections dominate the market in South Asia and are responsible for a whopping 96.6% of gaming sessions, while computers and tablets have negligible shares of 2.9% and 0.5% respectively.
The authors of the study point out that historically, playing online casino was exclusively done on computers, and attribute thе major shift to mobile that has unfolded over time to the wide spread of cheaper smartphones and mobile data plans in South Asia.
“Some of the reasons behind this massive difference in device type are affordability, technical advantages, as well as cheaper and more obtainable internet plans for mobiles than those for computers,” the researchers comment.
Xiaomi and Vivo Outperform Samsung, Apple Way Down in Rankings
Chinese brands Xiaomi and Vivo were used by 21.9% and 20.79% of Casino Days players from South Asia respectively, and together with the positioned in third place with a 18.1% share South Korean brand Samsung dominate the market among real money gamers in the region.
Cupertino, California-based Apple is way down in seventh with a user share of just 2.29%, overshadowed by Chinese brands Realme (11.43%), OPPO (11.23%), and OnePlus (4.07%).
Huawei is at the very bottom of the chart with a tiny share just below the single percent mark, trailing behind mobile devices by Motorola, Google, and Infinix.
The data on actual phone usage provided by Casino Days, even though limited to the gaming parts of the population of South Asia, paints a different picture from global statistics on smartphone shipments by vendors.
Apple and Samsung have been sharing the worldwide lead for over a decade, while current regional leader Xiaomi secured their third position globally just a couple of years ago.
Striking Android Dominance among South Asian Real Money Gaming Communities
The shifted market share patterns of the world’s top smartphone brands in South Asia observed by the Casino Days research paper reveal a striking dominance of Android devices at the expense of iOS-powered phones.
On the global level, Android enjoys a comfortable lead with a sizable 68.79% share which grows to nearly 79% when we look at the whole continent of Asia. The data on South Asian real money gaming communities suggests that Android’s dominance grows even higher and is north of the 90% mark.
Among the major factors behind these figures, the authors of the study point to the relative affordability of and greater availability of Android devices in the region, especially when manufactured locally in countries like India and Vietnam.
“And, with influencers and tech reviews putting emphasis on Android devices, the choice of mobile phone brand and OS becomes easy; Android has a much wider range of products and caters to the Asian online casino market in ways that Apple can’t due to technical limitations,” the researchers add.
The far better integration achieved by Google Pay compared to its counterpart Apple Pay has also played a crucial role in shaping the existing smartphone market trends.
