Fun getting ready for weddings in traditional attire: Alia Bhatt

Published

New Delhi, Jan 23 (IANS) She is young, vivacious and she likes to experiment with different looks. Actress Alia Bhatt says that it’s fun to don traditional outfits at weddings and she enjoys playing with colours.

Alia, who attended her best friend’s wedding in Jodhpur, said: “It’s fun getting ready for weddings in traditional attire and make-up which suits the occasion. I like to experiment with different looks- I love to play with colour and experiment either with a bold lip or a smoky eye.”

However for her the toughest part is removing make-up.

“Earlier, removing my make-up after any event was tedious. I feel a lot of young girls face that conflict and therefore don’t enjoy wearing make-up as much as they should,” she said.

However she has a solution.

“To them I would say, don’t worry, Garnier is here to save your day with their Micellar Water that removes make-up in just one swipe. So, they can now enjoy wearing make-up to the fullest, because taking it off is so easy,” she said.

To flaunt in that picture-perfect skin glow at weddings, Alia shares her skin care secrets for all the winter brides:

* Do not forget to hydrate and moisturize: Hydration is the best way to make your skin look fresh and healthy. Hence, to add that perfect charm to your skin, staying hydrated is crucial. I drink at least 7-8 glasses of water everyday as it helps me to get rid of unwanted toxins, keeping my skin hydrated, clean and free from toxins. Also, using a light gel or cream based moisturizer gives it an instant moisture boost, making my skin look fresh and glowing.

* Healthy food is a must: To get that healthy skin glow, one should avoid eating junk and oily food. Instead, replace it with fresh fruits, leafy vegetables and try to stick to home-cooked food. Eating healthy food that includes good fats should be an important part of your skin care regime.

* Beauty sleep is necessary: Not getting adequate sleep can also play a significant role in making your skin look dull, gloomy and tired with dark circles. Give your body enough time to relax by sleeping for at least 7-8 hours every day. This helps rejuvenate your body and mind, making your skin look healthy and radiant.

Casino Days Reveal Internal Data on Most Popular Smartphones

CasinoDays India

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.
