Dhinchak Pooja evicted from “Bigg Boss”, wants to join Bollywood
Mumbai: YouTube sensation Dhinchak Pooja today became the latest contestant to be evicted from the “Bigg Boss” house after she entered the show with a lot of fanfare only a few weeks ago.
YouTube sensation Dhinchak Pooja, the latest to be evicted from reality TV show “Bigg Boss 11”, says she now dreams of working in Hindi filmdom.
Asked if working in Bollywood was on her mind, Dhinchak told media persons after her “Bigg Boss” eviction: “Yes, I want to be a part of Bollywood. I would like to try my hands at acting. Let’s see what offers come to me.”
Pooja’s journey in the 11th season of the popular reality television show came to an end tonight with host Salman Khan announcing her name from among the eight contestants nominated for eviction this week.
“I had fun during my stay in the house, I wish I had the opportunity to be on the show for some more time. I am happy that I will be meeting my family and sad because I will miss my new family of Bigg Boss,” Pooja, who became a YouTube star with her songs like “Selfie Maine Le Li Aaj” and “Swag Wali Topi”, told media persons.
Dhinchak, whose real name is Pooja Jain, hails from East Delhi in the national capital, and first came up with the song “Swag waali topi”.
Pooja Jain, popularly known as Dhinchak Pooja, was nominated, along with Hiten Tejwani, Priyank Sharma, Sapna Chaudhary, Shilpa Shinde, Hina Khan, Benafsha Soonawalla, Sabyasachi Satpathy and Bandgi Kalra.
“My journey has been good. Initially, I took some time to adjust in the house. I am a simple and confident girl, but I feel uncomfortable with cameras around for 24 hours,” she said.
Dhinchak Pooja eliminated from Bigg Boss, wants to act in Bollywood:
Pooja added that she was open to going back inside the “Bigg Boss” house if there was an opportunity.
Dhinchak’s claim to fame are songs that have been dubbed “bad”. Yet, tracks like “Selfie mainai leli aaj” and “Daaru” went viral on digital platforms.
Does she purposely sing in such a manner to gain eyeballs on social media platforms?
“No. No money has been spent on music and beat… That’s why it seems funny. The kind of lyrics I know, I write… And even if I put money and it doesn’t come out well, then also it wouldn’t seem right,” said the 23-year-old.
The “Bapu dede thoda cash” singer says she wants to do something unique.
“I wanted to do something different. So I created something that people liked in a funny way… Whatever it was, they liked it,” she added.
Asked if the negative remarks about her singing skills and videos affect her, Dhinchak said: “No. I don’t feel bad. I don’t pay attention (to all this).
Dhinchak on Sunday night was evicted from season 11 of “Bigg Boss”, hosted by superstar Salman Khan. Though not disappointed, she feels she couldn’t prove herself in her two-week stay.
“It was a very good experience. Everyone was very nice. There is nothing like a commoner or celebrity in the house. But when people become extreme, then they show they are celebrities… But that is human behaviour.”
Dhinchak said contestants Hina Khan and Shilpa Shinde are “playing games” in the house. Still, she feels Shilpa could be the winner this time. The show is aired on Colors channel.
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.
