Looking forward to seeing Sanjuji back on big screen, says Kareena Kapoor
Mumbai: Actress Kareena Kapoor today stated that Actor Sanjay Dutt, who walked out of jail after serving a jail-term of 42 months for illegal possession of arms during the March 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, looked ‘absolutely amazing’.
“Of course, we are all very happy. I saw a picture someone showed me, and he is looking absolutely amazing. We’re really looking forward to seeing Sanjuji back on the big screen because I’m a big fan of Sanjay Dutt,” said Kareena as an ambassador at the launch of Magnum Brownie flavour of the Magnum ice-cream.
While Kareena and Sanjay only acted in ‘LOC Kargil’, her sister Karisma has starred in a numerous movies with him.
Sanjay served his term for illegal possession of arms, for which he was charged under the Arms Act and given a five-year sentence.
After numerous court proceedings, jail terms and bails going on since 1993, he finally surrendered to the police in May 2013.
The actor was released Thursday morning for conducting a good behaviour in the prison.
Post his release, Sanjay Dutt was greeted with a great response by his fans. The industry too conveyed its feelings and welcomed Sanjay.
About the chocolate ice-cream brand and its new flavour, Kareena said: “I’m a chocolate girl, there’s something about chocolate that is extremely stylish. I love chocolate, and most girls like to be pampered with it, especially a chocolate brownie ice-cream.”
“Once in a while to indulge, there is nothing wrong, it uplifts your mood, it is good for the skin and especially for the heart,” the actress said.
“During school days, I would eat an ice-cream before reaching home from school. My mom would never allow me to eat it. Without telling mom, I’d keep my pocket money to buy an ice-cream, gobble it in the building before coming up in the lift,” she said.
She also said that owing to her association with the brand, she gets free stock of the ice-cream in which her husband Saif Ali Khan indulges heavily, having two-three ice-creams at a time and ‘putting on calories’.
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.
