Kapil Sharma to host Salman Khan as 1st guest on new edition of show
Mumbai: Comedian-actor-producer Kapil Sharma has started shooting for a new edition of “The Kapil Sharma Show” with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan as its first celebrity guest.
The episode, which will be aired on Sony Entertainment Television, will also feature Salman’s brothers Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan as well as their father Salim Khan, read a statement.
Kapil will be joined by his original gang – Chandan, Kiku Sharda and Sumona Chakravarti.
The audience will also get to see comedians Bharti Singh and Krushna Abhishek along with Rochelle Rao.
Kapil Sharma, who has been away from the spotlight for some months following allegations of unprofessional behaviour, on Saturday confirmed that he is returning to television with “The Kapil Sharma Show”.
“Jalad wapas aa raha hoon ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ lekar aap ke liye sirf Sony TV par (I am returning with ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ soon only on Sony Entertainment Television),” Kapil tweeted.
He also urged Tata Sky to enjoy the channel without any additional cost by calling 18002086633 or by sending an email to contact@tatasky.com, amid an ongoing revenue row between the directi-to-home service and Sony Pictures Network.
The date when “The Kapil Sharma Show” will go on air is yet to be confirmed, but the promo will be on air in the coming week, a source from the channel told journalists.
Kapil Sharma starts shooting of new edition of show with Salman Khan as 1st guest:
Sony TV’s official spokesperson said in a statement: “Kapil Sharma is coming home to Sony Entertainment Television with his highly successful weekend comedy show. We are delighted and looking forward to again collaborate with Kapil and his absolutely talented creative team and actors.”
The comedian was surrounded by controversies around his temperament and love life, when he vanished from the small screen abruptly.
In April, Kapil, in an interview to news agency had said he wanted some “me time to “recuperate”. I’ve been working too hard for too long. There is a lot in the pipeline and lot of new exciting projects which I will talk about soon,” Kapil told media persons in an e-mail interview when asked about the reason behind his absence from the small screen so abruptly.
Kapil had then made headlines, drawing bad press when an audio call in which he was heard hurling abuses at a journalist, was made public.
Last year, Kapil had a mid-air fight with his colleague, comedian Sunil Grover. The fight led to a widely talked about controversy, after which they parted ways professionally from “Comedy Nights With Kapil” which had brought both of them unprecedented fame.
Last month, he was reportedly in an ashram in Bengaluru for a detox programme.
Meanwhile, Kapil will marry his fiance, Ginni, at her hometown in Jalandhar on December 12.
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.
