Regularly working now more important: Delnaaz
New Delhi, Dec 25 (IANS) Delnaaz Irani is in her 40s but doesn’t want to “chill” and take a break from acting. She says being regular at work now is more important for her.
Asked if she is worried about her future in showbiz, Delnaaz told IANS: “No. For me, my work is important. When a person narrates something to me, and I really like the part then I will just go for it. I don’t think so much.”
“At this day and age… I am no more in my 20s who wants to do this and that. Regularly working now is more important. Doing role after role or show after show, good and respectable roles, it’s important to keep working. I don’t want to take a break or chill.”
Delnaaz has featured in plays, movies, fiction and reality shows and web series. Clearly, the medium doesn’t act as a limitation.
“In the musical called ‘Blockbuster’, I played six different roles. Then I have a short film titled ‘My Mother’s Wedding’. I did web series ‘Virgin Woman Diaries’. With such a body of work, I don’t think the medium is important. I need to have regular and good work,” she said.
One role that she is yearning to play is of a mother in a TV show or a film.
“I have never played a conventional Indian mom. So, I would like to play a mom to somebody either on the big or small screen,” said the “Kal Ho Naa Ho” actress.
Participating in the celebrity dance-based reality show “Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa” also tops her to-do list.
“I would like to do ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’ because I love dancing. Even if I last for just three episodes, I will be fine. Dancing is my passion,” said the former “Bigg Boss” contestant.
She is also certain about the type of roles she won’t do.
“The one thing that I am really bored of is the cliche kind of daily soaps. There are a lot of characters that are just there or only giving reactions. I can’t handle the regular run-of-the-mill daily soaps characters,” she said.
She is currently seen as Odhani, a clairvoyant, in Sony Entertainment Television’s show “Ek Deewaana Tha”.
“Till now, people have liked me for being bubbly, chirpy and playing lighter roles that make people laugh but something like this (Odhani) is so strong,” she said.
“People get excited to see me when I come. The look of my character is very negative. I was told that it scared off somebody. Such reactions are fun,” she added.
She feels that the strength in this role is her voice.
“I make sure that my voice is very well projected. When I am asked to dub after shooting, I go mad. I don’t like to dub because that feel, the voice modulation can come only when I am acting,” she said.

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.
