They are unique, fun to work with: Anushka on B-Town’s three Khans
New Delhi : She has worked with Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan and will soon be seen sharing screen space with Salman Khan in “Sultan”. Actress Anushka Sharma says working with Bollywood’s three Khans is a “unique and fun” as well as learning experience.
Anushka walked into Bollywood with Shah Rukh-starrer “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”, and went on to work in films like “Badmaash Company”, “Band Baaja Baaraat”, and “Patiala House”. She again shared screen space with Bollywood’s “Baadshah” in “Jab Tak Hai Jaan”.
The actress worked with Aamir in “PK” and now she will be seen essaying the role of a wrestler in “Sultan”.
When asked if there is a sense of accomplishment after working with all the three Khans of Bollywood, Anushka told IANS in an email interview: “They all are unique and fun to work with, you get to learn so much from them. I am lucky that I got a chance to work with all of them.”
A celebrity’s life is constantly in public gaze, and Anushka has also had her share of gossip — be it her link up rumours, speculations around marriage or her break up stories with cricketer Virat Kohli.
Anushka, who is brand ambassador of 7UP Nimbooz Masala Soda with tag line “Asli Nimbu Maar Ke”, shares that she knows the perfect way to deal with them.
When asked how she deals with most of people looking for some ‘chatpata’ stuff around a celebrity’s life, she said: “Being in the profession for a long time, I’ve learnt to take it all a little nimbu maar ke.”
Summer temperatures have already begun soaring and Anushka says she has “always loved refreshing drinks which have a burst of flavour”.
As the face of the beverage brand, Anushka brings a peppy vibe in the brand’s new advertisement, directed by Vikas Bahl.
The actress says “the peppy soundtrack by Sneha (Khanwalkar) adds to the entire vibe of the film. And, it’s always fun to shoot with Vikas (Bahl)”.
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.
