In Cape Town, Karan Mehra shopped away for wife
Mumbai: During the post leap shooting schedule for “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” in Cape Town, actor Karan Mehra, who plays Naitik Singhania in the show, used to take time off from the set to shop for his wife Nisha Rawal.
“Cape Town is a beautiful place and I loved shooting in all the locations that we had in our schedule. Nisha couldn’t join me in the trip, hence I took out time to get her some things from Cape Town,” Karan said in a statement.
“The schedule was quite packed but the unit was very supportive and hence on a few days we could pack out early and manage time to explore the city. I went to Cape of Good Hope which was absolutely stunning. I am for sure going to come back with Nisha and friends,” Karan added.
Karan married Nisha in 2012 after three years of dating. The duo were seen together in “Nach Baliye 5”.

Divyanka misses Ruhi on ‘Ye Hai Mohabbatein’ set
Actress Divyanka Tripathi, who plays Ishita in “Ye Hai Mohabbatein”, is said to be missing the presence of her onscreen daughter Ruhi Bhalla (child actress Ruhanika Dhawan) on the set.
Ruhanika is currently staying with her onscreen biological mother Shagun (Anita Hassanandani) and is shooting on a different set.
Divyanka often visits the other set during her break. As Ruhi is said to be very fond of cupcakes, Divyanka picks up a box full of assorted goodies from a nearby cake shop for the little girl.
“I am very fond of Ruhi and we have been shooting together from day one. There is a special bond that we two share and Ruhi is like the ‘jaan’ of the entire set.”
“It feels a little incomplete without her around the set and the entire Bhalla and Iyer family is missing her hopelessly. I am so used to seeing Ruhi around almost every day that I just wish that the track moves towards re-uniting Ishima and Ruhi onsreen as well as offscreen,” Divyanka said in a statement.
“Ye Hai Mohabbatein” is aired on Star Plus.
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.
