Challenge lies in improving my craft: Shraddha Kapoor
Mumbai, Sep 10 (IANS) Actress Shraddha Kapoor, who is looking forward to begin work on “Saaho” and “Saina”, says the genre of a film is not the real challenge and that it lies in improving her work with every project.
Shraddha, who is busy promoting her upcoming film “Haseena Parkar”, was asked whether she prefers doing romantic films or intense movies.
She told media persons here: “Each film has its own challenge. I can’t say doing love stories is difficult or doing intense films is difficult. I think the challenge for me is to do better work and make improvement in my craft.”
After “Haseena Parkar”, Shraddha will next be seen in the biopic of Indian badminton player Saina Nehwal and in “Saaho” along with Prabhas.
Talking about the two films, she said: “I haven’t started shooting for ‘Saina’ yet. I am preparing for it and shooting of that film will take place after some time because there is lot of pre-production work and research is to be done with that film.
“Now I will start shooting for ‘Saaho’. It’s my first multi-lingual film which we will shoot in Hindi and Telugu. Recently, I spent two days in Hyderabad for the readings of ‘Saaho’ with Prabhas and I also met Saina Nehwal there. So, I am very excited for both these films”
In “Haseena Parkar”, Shraddha will be seen on screen with her brother Siddhanth Kapoor. She says it was a fabulous experience.
“It’s surreal actually. I still don’t believe that we have done a film together. I feel when we get older, we will talk about memories of doing this film together. So when we will discuss this at that point of time, it will be a lot of fun.”
Her role in the film is based on the sister of Mumbai don Dawood Ibrahim.
On portraying a negative character, Shraddha said: “I think this character is not in the negative space. It’s a real life character about which there are lots of theories and guessing, but not many people know about her life. So I feel it’s a true story of a woman who faced a lot in her life and dealt with some challenging circumstances.
“It’s a story of a woman who has gone through a lot of hardship and loss in her life.”

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.
