New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) Sunny Leone and her husband Daniel Weber surprised everyone when they announced that they have adopted a baby girl from Latur. The Indo-Canadian actress says she is enjoying every second of her time with her daughter, and can’t wait to show her the entire world and teach her so many things.

The news about adoption came in July, and the baby has been named Nisha Kaur Weber.

“Well our whole life has changed for the better. Figuring out our schedule is not as difficult as we thought it would be and she is at an age where she can travel with us if need be,” Sunny told IANS in an email interaction.

“I am enjoying every second of my time with her. There is nothing more I can ask for. We are truly blessed,” added the actress, who attended the fourth season of Big Boys Toys Expo — a three-day event held at the MMRDA grounds Mumbai from September 22.

The adoption process took two years. Sunny says she is enjoying being a mother.

“It is the best experience of my life and I can’t wait to show her every inch of this world and teach her so many things,” said the actress.

Sunny, whose real name is Karenjit Kaur Vohra, made a transition into Bollywood after making a name for herself as an adult film actress abroad. She took the reality TV route with a stint in one of the previous seasons of Bigg Boss to come into spotlight in India. She has featured in films like “Jism 2”, “Ek Paheli Leela”, “Kuch Kuch Locha Hai” and “One Night Stand”.

Her Twitter bio reads: “Life is short let’s make the most of it”. And Sunny says she has been following this for many many years.

“I don’t think a particular thing lasts forever so I try and have as much fun as possible all the time where ever I am in the world,” added the actress, who is also known for special numbers in films like “Raees” and “Bhoomi”.

She is also know for her stint as host of “Splitsvilla”, an author and a business woman by coming out with a fragrance line. Sunny is also coming out with a cosmetic line and a production house.

“I have owned my own business since I was 18 years old so this is what I love. My first passion was owning a business and watching it grow. My moves are pretty calculated but here and there something comes along that I love and would love to see as my own. The only fixed plan always is to keep pushing forward and keep taking risks.”

The actress, who oft gets embroiled into controversy with her bold moves like endorsing a condom brand, feels she is a business woman before an artist.

“There are moments when being creative takes over, but at the end of the day the business side needs to work as well,” she added.

Talking about her future projects, Sunny said: “Right now I am working on some projects that have not been released to the public so you will have to wait. But I am almost ready to drop my cosmetic line StarStruck by Sunny Leone. So beyond excited about my own line of cosmetics.”

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

CasinoDays India

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.
