When Sehwag made tea for Sakshi Tanwar (TV Snippets)
Mumbai, Jan 15 (IANS) Television actress Sakshi Tanwar and former cricketer Virender Sehwag bonded over food and tea during the shooting of a cookery show.
Sakshi, who hosts a food show titled “Tyohaar Ki Thaali” for Epic channel, had the cricketer over for a special episode.
On her experience of cooking with Sehwag, Sakshi said in a statement: “It was very nice to have Virendra on my show. He came and shared a lot of his memories.
“He was saying how his mother used to pack ‘gond ke laddoo’ for him whenever he went for any tournament and the size of the laddoo used to be as big as a cricket ball. Since he used to not have a lot of food during the match, he used to happily fill his stomach with one laddoo and one litre of milk.”
Sehwag also prepared a cup of tea for Sakshi, who described it as “very tasty”. She said Sehwag’s gesture of being a guest and offering tea to the host was “really sweet”.
“He also gave a helping hand to me in cooking. He grated some radish and carrots. I think he has a keen interest in cooking,” said the actress.

Rupali wants son to be farmer
Actress Rupali Ganguly, known for shows like “Sarabhai vs Sarabhai” an “Parvarrish” says she wants her son to be a farmer.
Rupali said in a statement: “Rudransh is too young to decide what he wants to be when he grows up. I would love it if my son becomes a farmer in today’s day and age.
“Everyone wants to reach corporate high points and make a mark in showbiz via sports or films… The glamour is definitely enticing, but I really want him to be a farmer – ‘farmers nahi honge toh khayenge kya’ (if we don’t have farmers how will we get food to eat)”.
“Even the farmers’ new generations today don’t want to carry on farming, but that is my thought. His father wants him to become a military man like his grandfather… that is his wish. And my little Rudransh wants to become a jeep driver at the moment,” she added.

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.
