Actor Shahrukh Khan spills bean on his fight with Salman Khan: Check here
Bollywood for all its glamour, fame, and money, is also no stranger to ego clashes between the biggest stars.
There are controversies involving actors, directors, and sometimes other people even refuse to work with each other just because of the fact that they don’t get along together.
However, amid all the fights, there once was the biggest fight that shook the entire industry.
That’s right! We’re talking about the fight that broke out between the Khans Of Bollywood!

Bollywood superstars Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, who are undoubtedly the poster boys of what the industry stands for, had probably the most high-profile fights in the history of Indian cinema.
As per reports, the incident occurred at Katrina Kaif’s birthday back in 2008, when the Sooryavanshi actress was still dating Salman at the time.
Things got so bad between Karan Arjun co-stars Salman and Shah Rukh that the two actually came close to being physical with each other.

According to reports, Shah Rukh even resorted to bringing Salman’s ex Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the argument.
The two actors didn’t speak to each other for years, however, the two actually ended up calling off their fight and becoming friends again not so long ago.
Talking about the incident earlier, Shah Rukh disclosed a few details on what exactly went down and how he felt about it.
Stating that he felt ‘ashamed’ to talk about the incident to his kids, Shah Rukh told GQ,
“I was very ashamed over the Salman issue. I hope it never happens to me again. I didn’t know how to explain it, and finally told them, “There are some people who just don’t get along.”
“Honestly, on that day (at Katrina Kaif’s birthday party, when the two celebs fought), I had gotten up to leave. I wasn’t standing there for a scrap, verbal or otherwise. I was tired, fragile, and I snapped.” said Shah Rukh.
According to reports, The Bollywood Badshah even mentioned later that in a conversation with Karan Johar later, he said Salman was absolutely right in his part.
Both Shah Rukh and Salman are now friends and will be seen in the upcoming film Pathan.
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.
