Salman turns 53, See what mother Salma Khan wants him to achieve in New Year
Superstar Salman Khan, who has turned 53 on Thursday, says that his mother Salma Khan wants him to achieve a six-pack body as a New Year resolution.
Salman was interacting with the media outside his farmhouse in Panvel in the midst of his birthday celebrations on Wednesday night.
Asked about his New Year resolution, he said: “Four days ago, my mother told me that now this four-pack body will not be enough and she asked me ‘what is your resolution for next year’ so, I told her ‘nothing’ then, she told me ‘you have to achieve six-pack body’ so now that means, I have to be disciplined and I am doing that.
“I am going to gym in the morning and evening. I run for one hour and control my food eating habits. She (mother) has told me achieve six pack body which will be simple for me according to her and it is easy for me so, I am going to gift my six pack body to my mother on the new year.”
Salman has delivered successful films like “Maine Pyaar Kiya”, “Hum Aapke Hain Kaun”, “Partner”, “Bajrangi Bhajaan”, “Sultan” and many others.
He is considered as one of the top actors in the Hindi film industry and enjoys massive fan following in the country.
Talking about love he has received from his fans over the years, Salman said, “I feel happy for that reason only. Stardom matters in one way that I have been working from so long but the kind of love and respect people gave me that make me really happy. I am happy that people believe in me and there is nothing more important than trust.”
Salman is launching Pranutan Bahl and Zaheer Iqbal under his home production in a film titled, “Notebook” and he says that “Pranutan (Bahl), Zaheer (Iqbal) and Sooraj (Pancholi) is here. Mohnish Bahl is childhood friend of mine and he has worked with me as well. Now, I have got the opportunity to launch her daughter. Zaheer’s father is also childhood friend of mine.
“Once he gave me 2011 rupees as a loan then, it increased up to 11000 rupees so, I had to repay that loan to him with interest at some point or the other so, I felt it’s the right time to do that.”
There were reports that Salman is busy shooting last leg of his upcoming film “Bharat” which is being directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
“We also felt that it’s a last leg of shooting but it is not like that. We have shot film in Delhi and other places. Around 30-35 days of shooting is still remaining and it will be completed in film city.”
So now that he has turned an year older, does that age bother him and he said, “At this stage, I do not feel that numbers matters to me and I hope in other things also number will not matter to me. I hope god blesses me with respect and good health and we will earn fame after that.”
Celebrities like Katrina Kaif, Sunil Grover, Anil Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Mouni Roy, Sajid-Wajid, Ameesha Patel, Sooraj Pancholi, Dino Morea, Jimmy Sheirgill, Mahesh Manjrekar, Rajat Sharma, Sohail Khan, Baba Siddiqui, Zaheer Iqbal, Warina Hussain, Dia Mirza and Sonu Sood attended his birthday celebration.
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.
