Salman Khan has been in the entertainment industry for over three decades and has amassed a fortune large enough for his future generations to live comfortably. He has been residing in Galaxy Apartment in Bandra for a really long time, but he has also invested in a number of other properties, one of which the actor recently rented out.
Bollywood’s Dabang recently rented out another Mumbai property for Rs 95,000 per month to a person named Ayush Dua. The lease and license agreement was recorded on December 6, according to records obtained by Zapkey.com, reported Money Control. According to the report, the agreement has a duration of 33 months. The report also said that tenant Ayush has paid Salman a sum of Rs 2.85 lakh as a deposit for the apartment. The agreement also includes a 5-percent-point escalation clause.
The apartment rented out by Salman is on the 14th floor of Shiv Asthan Heights. This locality is situated in Bandra West in Mumbai. As per the report by Money Control, the property is a 758 sq ft apartment.
As we have already mentioned, Salman’s interest in real estate is quite visible. He reportedly rented an apartment at Galaxy Apartments in Bandra in January, where he presently resides. According to the reports, the apartment on the second floor, measuring 139.40 square metres, has been rented for a term of four years with a deposit of Rs 25 lakh.
Salman also finalised a renewal lease agreement for his luxurious duplex flat in Bandra a few months ago, for 8.25 lakhs per month. According to reports, the Bigg Boss host has extended his lease with the owners of the property Baba Siddique and Zeeshan Siddique. Maqba heights is the name of the building, and he leased the sassy duplex for 11 months. The opulent residence is said to be on the 17th and 18th floors of the skyscraper and would be utilised as a writer’s pad for Salman’s projects.

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.
