SHOCKING! Vaani Kapoor thinks this about her Bollywood debut
Actress Vaani Kapoor , who made her film debut with Parineeti Chopra and Sushant Singh Rajput starrer 2013 romantic comedy “Shuddh Desi Romance” and later signed a three-film deal with the Yash Raj Films, says that she is yet to reach a point where she can say that she has made it big in Bollywood.
“I haven’t made it big yet,” Vaani told when asked if she wants to talk about the hurdles that she faced while making it big in the industry.
And how she takes up bad phases in her stride and how such failures made her become stronger?
“You have moments when you sulk, when you crib and cry and feel that, ‘why me and why all these things are happening with me’. We are only human . It’s about facing your fear and not giving up because you are the only person who will support yourself at the end of the day and if you dont do that than nobody else will,” added the 29-year-old.
Her performance in her debut film earned her several awards and nominations, including the Best Female Debut at an award function. Post that, in 2014, she ventured into the South Indian film industry with the Tamil and Telugu language romantic comedy “Aaha Kalyanam”, that proved to be a moderate box-office success and her portrayal of the lead female character was praised.
In 2016, Vaani appeared in Aditya Chopra’s romantic drama “Befikre” opposite Ranveer Singh. The film was set in Paris and showed the actress in a very glamorous role.
Talking about working with Yash Raj Films, she said: “I have been fortunate enough to work with them so I would say yes they gave me wonderful opportunities.”
She also says that “you always learn from each and every project that you become part of.”
“Every new project, every new team and everything teaches you with something which you haven’t learnt or done before,” she said.
The actress was in Capital last week to walk as a showstopper for designer Payal Jain’s couture collection “MoonLit”.
It was inspired by delicate milky white flowers of ethereal beauty, and pristine simplicity. The interplay of textiles, yarns, weaves and precious details brought together a “Vision in White”. The collection showcased progressiveness, beauty and uniqueness wearing precious jewels from RK Jewelers South Extension-II.
Heritage and tradition were reinterpreted in dramatic contemporary silhouettes and intricate drapes.
Talking about how she resonates with Jain’s design aesthetics, Vaani said: “How she is into using Indian handicrafts and all the Indian textiles and incorporating into very modern and contemporary , new age women’s outfits made me connect with her designs..”
Vaani, who was signed by the Elite Model Management for modelling projects before venturing into Bollywood, says that modelling gave her the confidence to own up in front of the camera.
“It did give me confidence,” she said.
But closely associated with glamour world never forced her to run after trends.
Are you someone you folllow trends blindky ?
“I do tend to sometimes keep myself updated with whatever is trending but I don’t really follow fashion trends . Just because it is in trend, it doesn’t necessarily mean to be in my wardrobe,” said the actress.
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.
