Can’t play negative roles, says Somya Seth
Mumbai : Actress Somya Seth, who has mostly played positive roles on screen, says she don’t want to play negative characters as playing them is a “very difficult job” and she doesn’t wish to hurt anybody’s ever.
“Playing a grey shade character is a very difficult job and I cannot do that. It’s not about playing a negative character; it’s just that I don’t want to hurt anybody ever,” Somya, who will be seen as Princess Kaurwaki in popular historical show “Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat” after it will take a leap of 10 years, told IANS.
“Everything is okay but please don’t ask me to hurt anybody ever. I cannot have the heart to do it. I don’t have the heart to eat non-vegetarian food because it just makes me feel that, ‘No I cannot do that’.
“But that doesn’t mean that I am not strong. I’m strong if need be but I don’t find the need, so I don’t do those things. But if the need be I’m the strongest person you’ll ever meet,” Somya said.
This will be the first time that Somya, who has previously appeared in shows like “Navya… Naye Dhadkan Naye Sawaal” and “Yeh Hai Aashiqui”, will be seen in a historical show.
Sharing her experience about working in the show, Somya said: “I have to wear heavy jewellery and my Hindi is supposed to be really clean and clear. But I have enjoyed the whole process so far, be it horse riding, sword fighting or my costume.
“This is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to look strong onscreen and show me being something else. In my life I want to see how many other characters I can take and get myself into it. It’s a great challenge and I lovingly accept it.
Is she similar to her character in real life too?
“When I was playing other roles earlier, everybody was saying, ‘She is just like her character. She is so similar to her character’. But I feel every girl would have everything of any character. I’m sure any women can relate to Kaurwaki in so many different ways,” Somya said.
“Every woman at some point or the other has fought for things – fought for her husband, father, brother or boyfriend. We might have done this in different eras but the war, fight, emotions, problems and feelings is as real and as similar to what we face today,” she added.
Apart from her, the Colors show will also feature “Devon Ke Dev… Mahadev” fame actor Mohit Raina in the title role.
“Working with Mohit has been a fun time. We have enjoyed a lot. I know little bit about him but the couple of days in which we have worked together, I think he is down to earth and sweet person. He is so passionate about his work and that motivates me,” Somya said.
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.
