Actress Aishwarya Rai looks stunning in black dress: See pics here
Actor Aishwarya Rai is now in Dubai after spending a couple of days in Paris. The actor recently walked the ramp for a cosmetics brand at the Paris Fashion Week. On Tuesday, she attended an event in Dubai, representing the brand again.
Aishwarya wore a black dress by Indian designer Sabyasachi. She left her hair loose and opted for bold eyes and red lip. Pictures of the actor were shared by her beauty team. Her hair stylist George shared a selfie with her and wrote, “A beautiful end to a beautiful day. How gorgeous is she.”
Her makeup artiste Aditya Sharma also shared photos and videos of Aishwarya from the event, which was organised to raise support against street harassment. The actor’s photos from stage, and her doing the ‘namaste’ were also posted online.
It was reported last month that Aishwarya became the first Indian actress to appear on the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, as a part of the brand’s projection to invite media and influencers to the Stand Up Against Street Harassment events taking place. Earlier, Shah Rukh Khan has appeared on Burj Khalifa.
Aishwarya left for Paris last week with husband Abhishek Bachchan and daughter Aaradhya. Aishwarya was joined on the ramp at the L’Oreal show, by Katherine Langford, Helen Mirren, Camila Cabello, Amber Heard, and others.
Upon arrival in Paris, Abhishek posted a boomerang clip of the Eiffel Tower lit up at night. “Paris when it sparkles,” Abhishek captioned it and added the song La Vie en Rose in the background.
This is the couple’s first overseas trip in a long while. In August, Abhishek underwent surgery after got hurt in his arm. He took to Instagram to share a photo of his arm in a plaster and wrote, “Had a freak accident in Chennai on the set of my new film last Wednesday. Fractured my right hand. Needed surgery to fix it! So a quick trip back home to Mumbai.”
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.
