OMG: These female actresses become pregnant before their marriage!
Mumbai: News around a pregnancy is met with a very different response when you’re not a married woman, especially in India. There were many Bollywood actresses, who had to face this pressure and social stereotyping, but they braved it all-and are living blissfully happy lives.
More power to these gorgeous women, who believe in living life on their own terms.
* Konkona Sen Sharma: She was romantically involved with her co-star Ranvir Shorey, and the duo got hitched in a private ceremony at Konkona’s residence back in 2010. Soon after, the news of their pregnancy started floating around, and they welcomed a baby boy Haroon, in early 2011. So no points for guessing that the boy was born out of wedlock. Even though the couple is now officially divorced, but they are still the best of friends, share the custody of their child, and are acing parenting! Rumours were rife of their reunion as well.
* Sridevi: One of the biggest controversies that hit Bollywood back then, its repercussions are still evident in Arjun Kapoor’s cold and indifferent attitude towards Sridevi and her daughters. Sridevi was the only actor who publicly accepted her pregnancy status, and admitted to dating Boney Kapoor, while he was still married. Sridevi conceived Jhanvi Kapoor, and was 7 months into her pregnancy when she finally tied the knot with Boney Kapoor.
* Sarika: Another famous extra-marital affair down South, Kamal Haasan and Sarika’s affair was the talk of the town. While they were living in together, Sarika gave birth to her first daughter, Shruti Haasan who eventually ventured into Bollywood as well.The two had their second child, Akshara, after they tied the knot.
Weird: Here are some female actress who lost virginity before getting married!:
* Amrita Arora: This one came absolutely out of the blue. There was no news of Amrita Arora’s relationship with her businessman boyfriend, Shakeel Ladak, and suddenly their marriage announcement broke the Internet. When it was followed by the announcement of their baby, it all fell into place. Know what we mean?
* Twinkle Khanna: Akshay Kumar and Twinkle both are happily married, but rumours were rife about them expecting a baby, before marriage. She gave birth to Aarav on September 15th, 2002 and today they give us nothing short of #FamilyGoals.
* Mahima Chaudhary: Her marriage to Bobby Mukherjee was a private affair in the year 2006, and sources believe it was a move to support an unplanned pregnancy. Mahima Chaudhary, an actor who instantly became the audience’s fave with her debut film Pardes, suddenly vanished from the silver screen. She had had her dose of relationships and breakups which were known to the Indian audience, but her pregnancy and sudden marriage was kept aloof from all.
* Neena Gupta: The superbly talented veteran actor Neena Gupta, had a public affair with West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards, and got pregnant with her daughter Masaba. But, they could never get married as Vivian chose to be with his first wife. Eventually, Neena raised her daughter as a single parent, and today she is one of the top designers of the country.

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.
