Actress-politician Nusrat Jahan uploads first pic after her baby birth: Check here
Actress-politician Nusrat Jahan welcomed her first baby last week. The TMC MP was discharged from the hospital on Monday. Now, the new mommy has shared a picture of herself. It seems like the photo was clicked before her delivery. In the latest photo, Nusrat is dressed in a light blue dress.
She rounded off her look with large golden earrings, winged eyeliner and brown tresses with golde and caramel highlights. She also shared a glimpse of a greeting card received by her on Instagram Stories. The wish reads, “Warm congratulations.”
Nusrat welcomed her son at a private hospital in Kolkata on August 26, Thursday afternoon. She was taken to the hospital on August 25. A source told PTI, the mother and the baby boy, both are doing fine. Nusrat was discharged from Bhagirathi Neotia Hospital on August 30.
Nusrat’s rumoured boyfriend, actor Yash Dasgupta accompanied her. He was present at the hospital and confirmed to the media about her good health. “For those who have been enquiring about Nusrat’s health, the mother and child are healthy and doing well,” he said. Yash was seen carrying the newborn baby in his arms while he and Nusrat got into his car while leaving the hospital.
Nusrat was married to Kolkata-based businessman Nikhil Jain. She was embroiled in a controversy regarding the validity of the wedding. They exchanged wedding vows in Turkey in 2019. However, Nusrat denied the standing of the marriage in India. She claimed that the marriage was invalid under Indian laws.
Recently, Nikhil wished Nusrat and the baby well. He told News18, “I wish well for her, and healthy life for the baby. May the baby grow and prosper in life. My differences with her would not stop me from wishing well for the newborn. May the baby be super healthy and have a prosperous future.”

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones
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.
