Divyanka Tripathi intimidates her fans
Mumbai: Actress Divyanka Tripathi, who plays Ishita Bhalla in soap opera “Ye Hai Mohabbatein” left two of her fans intimidated.
While hosting a segment at the Star Parivaar Awards with the 30-year-old, actor Shravan Reddy, who plays Neil in soap opera “Dosti…Yaariyan…Manmarzian” got frightened before he had to get on stage because he has a huge crush on her.
“Being in one frame with Divyanka made me extremely nervous as she is a beautiful lady and an even better person at heart. I have a huge crush on her ever since I have seen her perform,” Shravan said in a statement.
Similar was the case with actor Mishkat Varma, who plays Kabir Kumar in “Nisha Aur Uske Cousins”.
Mishkat is the brother of Divyanka’s “Ye Hai Mohabbatein” co-star Mihika Verma. When he confessed to Mihika that he is a big fan of Divyanka, she made sure Mishkat gets to meet his favourite star at the award show.
Mishkat was seen having long conversations with her and much to his surprise, Divyanka even kissed him on stage at Mihika’s request.
“Mihika is like a real sister. And Mishkat, her brother is such a sweet person. Mihika had mentioned to me several times about him being a big fan but we never got a chance to meet. So I thought of surprising him. His smile was priceless,” Divyanka said in a statement.
Star Parivaar Awards will be aired on June 14 on Star Plus.

Apart from testing their culinary skills in the forthcoming episode of cookery show “Farah Ki Daawat”, actors Boman Irani and Sonu Sood will be seen sharing their respective love stories with TV viewers.

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.
