Did you know Shah Rukh Once Stabbed A Journalist With Wedding Sword & Was Jailed

Published

Almost all of us are aware of how Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most charming and chivalrous gentlemen in the industry. Not only is he intellectually very sound, but his co-stars or the fans that he meets on a daily basis are very expressive of how the star actor has a particular talent of making the other person feel very, very comfortable.

However, if someone is usually very hospitable, patient, and nice, you know that you’ve really f**ked things up if they lose their s*it. Well, that’s what happened with one journalist who ended up getting under the skin of Bollywood’s  Badshah.

This incident is said to have happened during Shah Rukh’s early years in the industry while he was shooting for Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa in 1993.

Apparently, a journalist published a piece around false rumors of Shah Rukh having an extra-marital affair with a co-star, just two years after his marriage with Gauri Khan. Soon after the report came in the news, it was said that Gauri was suddenly concerned whether she did the right thing by marrying the actor. This clearly infuriated Shah Rukh, who ended up calling the journalist while hurling curse words.

Talking about the time, SRK said he then headed to the journalist’s house with a sword in hand. “I behaved very badly. I was jailed. My father-in-law had given me a sword, as they do in Punjabi weddings. I carried that sword to that journalist’s house. My father-in-law, who is an army officer, said, ‘Son, you have to protect my daughter.’ Nobody was saying anything to his daughter but I thought this is a good weapon, sanctioned by the Indian Army,” he said.

He then met a young man, who he stabbed in the legs, after which he went on to return to shooting. Unsurprisingly, the next day, the police showed up at the shoot and arrested him. However, despite being arrested and given just one phone call, Shah Rukh instead of calling for help ended up ringing the same journalist again to threaten him further.

This is what he said, “Saale ab toh jail bhi chala gaya hu. Ab toh nikal ke aauga aur tereko kaat ke jaauga (I’ve even been to jail for this. Now I will come out and cut you up).”

Wow! We could have never seen SRK channelizing his inner Dilli Ka Launda like that.

The actor was later gotten out of jail by Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman co-star Nana Patekar.

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.
