Nawazuddin ex-girlfriend drops him over poor way of thinking
New Delhi : Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s recently released memoir, ‘An Ordinary Life’, has managed to upset not one but quite a few. Only recently, Niharika Singh had accused Nawaz that for his book, he was “fabricating stories and manipulating a fleeting relationship.” And now, Nawaz’s first girlfriend, Sunita Rajwar is here to call his bluff, it seems.
In a long Facebook post, Sunita goes on about how Nawaz has portrayed their relationship and mainly their break-up to be something it wasn’t. In his memoir, Nawaz had written how after his break-up from Sunita, he had decided that he would never be as emotional again in any relationship. Nawazuddin was in fact so affected by the end of their “deep, passionate love” that he “plunged into deep, deep depression” and was even thinking of committing suicide.
“I took a bucket of fresh white paint and began to replace her artwork on my walls with the blank canvas that they were before,” says Nawaz and even justifies that maybe Sunita wanted to “date someone successful, not a struggling, desperate actor who was out of work.” And he also goes on to say “today, Sunita tells everybody that she was once together with me in a very serious relationship.”
And to all this, Sunita has a different story to tell, a very different one. While Nawaz says that even though he and Sunita were both NSD graduates, they never met on campus. But Sunita rubbishes the claim and says that it is true that they didn’t have any kind of relation in NSD but to say that they never met there is a little odd.
An excerpt from Nawaz’s book reads, “You remember those old-fashioned hearts with the names of lovers in it, sometimes with an arrow across it, sometimes without? Her doodles (on his wall) were something like that.” Sunita rejected this idea as well, saying that she never drew anything on his wall, then how could he paint the artwork all white again.
Coming to their break-up, Sunita says that Nawaz has always been a sympathy seeker. And that is the reason that Nawaz claims that she called it off because he was poor. She asks him why does he forget that Sunita was much more of a struggler at the time than him. While Nawaz had his own house to put up in, she had to move into a friend’s apartment.
Revealing the true reason of their separation, she said that she was actually disgusted by Nawaz. And why so? Because she had found out that Nawaz had been revealing intimate details of their affair with some mutual friends while making fun of it. So, that is when Sunita allegedly came to know of his thoughts about relationships and women and she, therefore, decided to move away from him.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones
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.
