She did not wish to stall the shooting and she was ready on set before anyone else the very next day as she wanted the schedule to move as planned.

Monica to sing, act in ‘Haaye Dil’
Monica Dogra, usually known for serious roles in films like “David” and “Dhobi Ghat”, is not only acting but also lending her soulful voice to a song in upcoming Bollywood romantic comedy “Haaye Dil”.
“The song is called ‘Yeh dil’, which is a fun tune about freedom, love and the pursuit of magic. It was really fun tracking the song with Jubin Nautyal and Rocky Khanna — the writers of the song,” the actress said in a statement.
“It was definitely a group effort as I needed to nail the recording right before getting on a plane to the US. But everything worked out great,” she added.
The indie queen herself penned down a part of the song.

Poonam Pandey’s ‘connect’ with Salman
Model-actress Poonam Pandey, often touted as the queen of controversies, not only wants to work with Salman Khan, but even draws a parallel between the superstar and herself.
“There is a good connection between us — he loves taking off his clothes, and somewhere I do too, so I kind of like him for that,” said Poonam, who first came into spotlight when she vowed to strip for the Indian cricket team if it won the 2011 World Cup.
“Since childhood and from my school days, I have seen Salman Khan. Every girl loves him and I also love him, honestly,” she added.
Poonam is currently preparing for her film “Helen”, in which she will essay a dancer. She is even taking dance workshops to lend an authentic touch to her character.
The actress often lands up in controversy for her up, close and personal images that or controversial statements.
She said that for “Helen”, she does not want to do too much of “sleaze”.
“But it’s Poonam Pandey’s film, so I won’t disappoint my fans either. Controversy is like icing on the cake,” she added.
“Helen” is produced by Vipin Medhekar and Suresh Nakum under the banner The World Networks. It is written and directed by Ajit Raipal, who earlier wrote “Nasha”, which also starred Poonam in the lead role.
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.
