Poonam Pandey shares horrifying story about her husband, in the new reality show Lock Upp
Alt Balaji and MX Player’s reality show Lock Upp, which is hosted by Kangana Ranaut, has started from February 27. The show has16 celebrity contestants who will be ‘locked up’ in jail for 72 days.
Every contestant is controversial in one way or another, and that is what landed them the gig in the show and what the makers are banking on for the show’s success.
The format of the show appears to be something similar to Bigg Boss, in that the participants are confined to a space for several weeks but here they will have to share their deepest and darkest secrets to survive.
In the show, Model-controversy queen Poonam Pandey has also participated. In the show, she recently opened up on her troubled marriage and about lodging a complaint against her estranged husband, filmmaker Sam Bombay, for assault, the actress stated that having a troubled marriage was ‘unfortunate’.
She shared a few details about her life and shared that Sam was too controlling and would not allow her to stay alone in any room or use her phone in the house.
The conversation started when Karanvir Bohra quizzed Poonam if she really loved him? The model then went on to reveal her ordeal and how he once beat her so much that it caused her brain hemorrhage. She also spoke about his drinking habits, that Sam used to drink from the morning and by night he used to lose consciousness. Pandey also shared her deep feelings that, ‘he always wanted me to be with him every single time, many a times Sam used to raise his hands on me and tortured me.’
The other co-contestant Payal Rohatgi, was also a part of the conversation, she asked Poonam, why did he used to beat you, was he insecure? Pandey wanted to end up the conversation, but she replied “Insecure, I don’t want to talk about anyone else right now. If a person starts drinking from morning 10 am, till night and in the night there would be nobody around to save us. The staff would get scared, they would leave.”
Pandey became popular through her social media accounts, including Twitter when she started posting her semi- nude photos. Her revealing photos have received much media attention. In 2013, she played the female lead of the film Nasha, playing a teacher who ends up having a sexual relationship with one of her students.
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.
