Sonu Kakkar trolled for singing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s song on Indian Idol
TV’s famous singing reality show Indian Idol has been entertaining its fans for many decades. Countless best singers have emerged from this show so far. Season 14 of Indian Idol remains in news headlines these days. Along with the contestants of this show, the judges of the show always come under the target of trolls for one reason or the other. Recently, Judge Neha Kakkar’s sister Sonu Kakkar had arrived on the show as a guest. Sonu is a singer himself. At the same time, apart from the contestants on the show, Sonu also gave a great stage performance, but after the video of this performance surfaced, she appeared to be trolled badly on social media.
Actually, Sonu Kakkar had reached the place of Neha Kakkar in Indian Idol 14. In the show, she was also seen motivating all the contestants a lot. At the same time, when the contestants and judges requested her to sing a song on the stage, she could not stop herself from singing. After this she was seen singing ‘Mere Rashke Qamar’ on the stage. ‘Mere Rashke Qamar’ Original Song is sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. But when Sonu sang this song, many people did not like this song at all and she got targeted by the trolls.
After listening to Sonu Kakkar’s song, a user commented on the prono shared on Instagram and wrote, ‘Overacting ka paisa kato sabka’. Better than this, he would have played the original song. Another user commented, ‘Bhai kyun joke bana raha hai song ka.’ Another user wrote, ‘Acche se izzat robiti ki song. Nusrat sahib’s soul must be weeping, it must be suffering. At the same time, one wrote, ‘Better than this, Ranu Mandal sings.’
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.
