‘Yam Hain Hum’ heads to Mumbai
Mumbai: Actors Manav Gohil and Atul Parchure, who play Yamraj and Chitragupt in the popular sitcom “Yam Hain Hum”, were seen exploring Mumbai where they tried out the city’s cuisine including vada pav, bhel and pav bhaji.
As per the sequence, Yamraj and Chitragupt will travel to the capital of Maharashtra to get a glimpse of its various famous sites including Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus station and Juhu Chowpatty.
As the show is based in Delhi, it was a change for the duo to visit Mumbai where they were surprised by the hustle and bustle of the city; they were also strangers to the Marathi language.
“I love the local Mumbai food like vada pav etc. I am a Maharashtrian and obviously love Mumbai city. I don’t get the opportunity to see the city much as I am always working. I am sure this track will entertain all viewers and make them tumble with laughter,” Atul said in a statement.

Yash Sinha shoots with dwarves
Actor Yash Sinha, who plays crime reporter Kabir in “Code Red”, will be seen solving a case with a troupe of dwarves.
Kabir will be seen travelling to another city for a story where he comes across a troupe of dwarves performing on the streets when the police arrives and they run away from there. On inquiring, Kabir gets to know that these dwarves first perform in an area and then commit dacoities there after gathering enough information.
“It was such a heartwarming experience to shoot with them. In between shots, we often spoke about their lifestyle and the hardships that they face which has made me realise that they have a very happy-go-lucky attitude towards life,” Yash said in a statement.
“It is us who make them feel awkward because of the way we treat them. But they are very happy with the way they are,” he added.
The episode will be aired on Saturday on Colors.

Monica Sehgal’s identity crisis
Actress Monica Sehgal, who is making her TV debut with the upcoming show “Dosti…Yariyaan…Manmarzian”, says people often call her Sandhya Mridul due to her striking resemblance with the “Page 3” actress.
However, Monica has no problem with it and feels “honoured” to be compared to Sandhya.
“Even back home in Ujjain people used to think I look like Sandhya and I used to just laugh it off. But after coming to Mumbai, people from the industry are mistaking me to be her, so I feel quite honoured that I have bagged my debut on the same channel where Sandhya is doing another show,” Monica said in a statement.
Sandhya Mridul is seen on Star Plus’ “Private Investigator”.
In “Dosti..Yariyaan..Manmarzian”, Monica will be seen playing Radhika Misra, who is very similar to her real life. The story of the show, which is slated to go on air in April, will see Radhika coming from Rishikesh to Mumbai to make a name before she gets married.
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.
