What attracts Bollywood guys to older women?
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have company. Older women in love with younger guys seems to be a trend taking hold of the entertainment industry. There is a lot in common between the two newly “outed” couples in the entertainment industry, Arjun Kapoor-Malaika Arora amd Harshvardhan Rane-Kim Sharma.
Both the men are at least 10 years junior to the woman with whom they have chosen to spend the rest of their lives.
And let’s not beat around the bush: Arjun-Malaika, Harshvardhan-Kim intend to stay together and are planning a matrimonial togetherness in the near future. Can’t say exactly when, since both need to sort out the clutter caused by earlier relationships.
There is one more trait in common between the two couples. They have both decided to throw all caution to the winds. On more than one occasion recently both couples were seen indulging in PDA without a care in the world.
But hang on.They won’t make any formal announcement on their relationship status. Does that make any sense? Not really. It’s like a milking a cow that’s in gestation.
I did manage to speak to one-half of one of the couples who says, “What is there to announce? We are not together to make news. We just want to be together. If the public is watching, we are okay with that. If they weren’t watching, we’d still be okay with that.”
Be that as it may, both Arjun-Malaika and Harshvardhan-Kim have ceased to worry about how their relationship looks to the outside world. Perhaps Priyanka Chopra’s khullam-khulla association with Nick Jonas has helped other women with young lovers to shed their inhibitions.
Interestingly, Bollywood has a long history of younger men marrying older women. Matinee idol Shashi Kapoor was a good 10 years junior to his wife Jennifer. They shared one of the most successful marriages in the history of Indian cinema. She looked after every aspect of his life. When she passed away, Shashi fell apart.
Saif Ali Khan married Amrita Singh, who was 12 years his senior. Their marriage was annulled many years ago on a very bitter note. Arjun Rampal and Farhan Akhtar were married to women quite a few years older. They both had two daughters each from their wives and have quit the marital alliance and have moved on in life.
Abhishek Bachchan, whose wife, the beauteous Aishwarya Rai, is some years his senior, says age is never a factor to define a marriage. Love is.
Amen to that.
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.
