Lisa Haydon shares photograph of breastfeeding baby son
Mumbai: Model turned actress Lisa Haydon was widely trolled for sharing a photograph of herself as she breastfed her son Zack last year. She says there were many times she faced “uncomfortable” questions and comments, but she still stands by the fact that it is healthy for mothers to breastfeed their babies.
New mothers across the globe have been shamed for breastfeeding their babies in public.
Lisa, who gave birth to Zack last year, told media persons: “I certainly felt uncomfortable at times when I was asked if I was still breastfeeding my baby and it had only been four months. Some people told me I am not a cow, my baby should not feed off me and there were many things that made me feel uncomfortable to do it, not so much ashamed.”
The “Aisha” and “Queen” actress said that for her, it was “not necessarily a responsibility or duty”, but it’s something that came naturally.
“I know that a lot of people struggle to breastfeed for various different reasons,” she added.
Lisa, 32, says she thought if she had the ability and the time where she didn’t have to go to work immediately, she had a choice to stay home.
“I know that a lot of mothers don’t, but I did. I felt very fortunate and blessed to be able to breastfeed my kid for as long as I did. I would definitely encourage every mother to do so and it is something I definitely stand by,” she added.
Lisa says she couldn’t breastfeed her baby for one year “but I would definitely always aspire to do the best that I can and I recommend other mothers to do so”.

Describing it as an “incredibly bonding”, Lisa also said “it is very healthy”.
Asked what has changed for her on the professional front after becoming a mother, she said: “I had to learn how to pick and choose more than what I would usually do because I had the time to do it.”
So, she is juggling and picking the best of what is offered.
Now, she says, it’s all about “giving a 100 percent when you are at work, and then of course when you go home and you’re being a mom, you really focus on being the best mother you possibly can”.
Lisa was here as the showstopper for the label Mishru on the last day of Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2018.
On her showstopper garment, which was a silver innovative bridal lehenga with a touch of modernism and vintage feel, Lisa said she felt “beautiful”.
Asked what does she enjoy more — walking the ramp or working in films, Lisa said: “The more films you work on, the more you get to walk the runway these days as showstoppers seem to be quite a craze. I always enjoyed my modelling days but it was a natural sort of evolution after about eight to ten years of walking the runway. To want to experiment, do films and making films is my passion.”

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.
