Neha Dhupia feels if you’re victim of MeToo, then come and expose
New Delhi: Neha Dhupia feels ‘#MeToo’ — the campaign to raise awareness about sexual harassment-is not only valid for people associated with the entertainment industry, but for everyone. The actress says a victim should not hesitate to share one’s ordeal, and instead save innocents from facing same fate by talking about it.
Life is getting more and more gender neutral, Neha said, adding that there are still miles to go.
“Things are changing for women. They are getting a position of power, and professionally they are doing exceptionally well. They are getting roles with projects like ‘Secret Superstar’, ‘Tumhari Sulu’ or ‘Padmavati’ that are made around women. There are many films which I can name. Life is getting more and more gender neutral,” Neha told media person over phone from Mumbai.
“It is getting better, but unfortunately there is always that question of #MeToo and there is a Harvey Weinstein that comes across.”
Neha was referring to the slew of sexual misconduct allegations levied against the Hollywood mogul. Numerous leading men from Hollywood like Ben Affleck, Brett Ratner, Charlie Sheen, Dustin Hoffman, James Toback and Kevin Spacey, have been accused for sexually harassing people associated with showbiz.
The controversy has rocked the entertainment industry the world over.
Like many other actors, Neha too asserted that harassment is not restricted to showbiz.
“I promise you that is not just in this business. But it is about women across whatever profession they are in. This is happening to them at their home. Anybody could be a victim. My plea is that if you are a victim come out and talk about it because you are not only just protecting yourself but you are also putting a lot of other innocent women in danger.
If you’re victim of MeToo, then come and expose says Neha Dhupia:
“Talking about it doesn’t make you weak. It makes you brave, so be the braver one in this situation,” said the actress, who has never shied away from calling a spade a spade.
Neha, a former Miss India who eventually turned to Bollywood, said: “Life is getting better, but there are things that are being questioned and it is a good thing that people are talking about it.”
The actress pointed out how people accused the “House of Cards” star Spacey of sexual misconduct after 31 years of the incident.
“The fact is why stay quiet for that long. You need to speak up sooner.”
Neha started her Bollywood innings with “Qayamat: City Under Threat” in 2003. Since then, she has featured in “Julie”, “Kyaa Kool Hai Hum”, “Chup Chup Ke”, “Singh Is Kinng”, “Ungli”, “Qarib Qarib Singlle” and “Tumhari Sulu”.
Talking about her aspiration, Neha said: “My biggest aspiration is to get up and go to work everyday. The larger aspiration in my life is being very content and happy in the job that I am in.
“Go to bed happy and sleep well. I shouldn’t lose my sleep over small things. There is always a level of dissatisfaction that ‘I wish I had done this, I wish I had done that’, but nothing about going to work makes me unhappy.”
The actress, who hosts TV shows and a radio show, said she has immense gratitude for where she comes from and what she has achieved.
“I am working on all mediums. I am happy in the position I am in, but yes, there is greed to do more.”

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.
