Actress Niharica Raizada says trollers calls me sexy which compliment
Mumbai: Young and budding actress Niharica Raizada, who is excited about her forthcoming film “Total Dhamaal”, says that trolling on social media is good as well as bad.
The actress during a promotional interview on Tuesday said, “Trolling is a good thing and a bad thing also. Anyone who wants to put across his opinion, they have every right to do so. If someone likes me and compliments me, I am happy with it and if someone doesn’t like me, I am happy with that too.
“People call me sexy all the time, and if this is trolling then it happens with me all the time. I don’t know what people think about me, but actually I have never experienced really bad trolling”
When asked about the change in the release date of “Total Dhamaal” which was earlier scheduled to release in December this year, Niharica said, “Now, ‘Total Dhamaal’ is releasing next year. The makers have made the decision, and if they think they need a little more time for the film to be at its best then why not.”
Niharica Raizada says trollers call me sexy which is compliment for me:
There has been speculation that “Total Dhamaal” is releasing in 3D since the film has been shot with 3D cameras.
Commenting on the same, she said, “The film was also shot in 3D and I think it is important that the post production goes well and we present the best we can. So after Valentine’s Day, you will be able to enjoy a comedy film in February. I am sure, whenever the film will release; it will create Dhamaal at the box-office.”
The actress also hinted at her second film post “Total Dhamaal”. “Nothing is finalized yet, but the movie will be based on weddings”, Niharica informed. Indra Kumar’s “Total Dhamaal” also features Anil Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and more in key roles.
Presented by Fox Star Studios, “Total Dhamaal” is produced by Ajay Devgn Films, Ashok Thakeria, Markand Adhikari, Anand Pandit and Fox Star Studios. The film is scheduled to release in February 2019.

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.
