Half fees for award performance:Akshay kumar
New Delhi:Akshy kumar says that he happy being getting less award and more appreciation from his fans “It happens sometimes that the people from the award night call you and tell you that if you perform their then they can give half the money and give an award as well. I tell them that they can give me complete payment and keep their awards with them. My fans have never stopped giving me rewards in form of their love and support and that is what matters,” says Akshay.The 49-year-old actor was being grilled by television anchor Rajat Sharma on his show Aap Ki Adalat, where the latter cross questioned the actor on this topic.
Talking about not letting awards affect his thought process, Akshay says, “I don’t think this is something to be so worried about or I should lower my morale.” and added in jest,” Sometimes my wife (Twinkle Khanna) taunts that her parents (Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia) are National award winners but I don’t get awards.As one of the accusations, Akshay was told that he is a misfit in the industry and doesn’t follow the norm of partying late or socialising like his contemporaries.“Since childhood, I have the habit of sleeping on time and waking up early and this is how it has been. Sometimes it so happens that my fellow actors are coming back from a party when I am going to the gym in the morning and we wave at each other,” said Akshay when probed.
While, Akshay’s career has seen super hit films such as Hera Pheri, Khiladi series, Bhool Bhulaiya, Airlift and Rustom, there was a time when he experienced 16 flop films.The actor explained his strategy of staying in the film industry.“The most important thing in this industry is that you can be an average actor but you should always be a good human being. Be professional, be a producer’s actor and do you work right because this industry has a big heart but if you don’t take care of the industry, then I have seen people fall after reaching heights of success. If you are not professional, dont take care of your producer and do as you please, then even you will never know when the downfall will come,” he says.
Akshay, in the past few months has expressed his desire to support the Indian Army and has posted his views through video messages on social media.Asked why does he feel the need to comment on so many issues, the actor retorted by saying, “I have spoken about 2 things in life. If I don;t say anything then the media says that actors never comment on anything and if I do say something, then what is wrong in that? Whatever I have said in videos is not against anyone. I don’t give comments over anything and leave, instead I give a solution. I am not the person who points out mistakes on anyone.”
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.
