Love is beyond gender: ‘Dunno Y2…’ actors
Mumbai: Actors Kapil Sharma and Yuvraaj Parashar of “Dunno Y2.. Life Is a Moment”, whose film delves on the LGBT issue, believe love is an emotion that transcends gender.
The actors support the issue of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) wholeheartedly.
“We think it’s about love. Nothing is wrong in it. Love is beyond gender, you are just loving and not doing a murder or rape,” Yuvraaj said at a promotional event here.
The film is the sequel of 2010’s “Dunno Y… Na Jaane Kyon”. The actors feel the fact that such films are emerging in the Indian film market, is an “achievement”.
“It’s a matter of pride…It’s kind of a revolution as something similar hasn’t ever happened in Hindi cinema. So it’s our first step towards human equality. This should not be limited in films only. This is a part of life and numerous lives can transform with it. And we will work for it,” said Kapil.
Apart from Kapil and Yuvraaj, the film also stars Zeenat Aman, Pakistani actresses Sadia Khan and Meera among others. Musical legends like Lata Mangeshkar and Salma Agha have lent their voice for the film.

Aamir Khan inspires Ridhima Sud
If there’s one actor who inspires Ridhima Sud, it’s Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan.
When Ridhima was busy researching for her role of an investigative journalist in “Kajarya”, she found it inspiring to watch “Satyamev Jayate”, a show hosted by Aamir, in which he talks about grave issues of the Indian society.
While the filming of the movie was done, Ridhima used to watch the episodes of the shows before the filming.
“Aamir is one of the strongest examples of someone who is giving back to society and of being a value add. Aamir Khan is a great example of someone trying to give back to society through the visual medium.
“He is an inspiration for bringing important stories to the forefront and addressing topics that are very much still a part of India’s reality,” Ridhima said in a statement.
Focusing on the subject of female foeticide, Madhureeta Anand’s directorial “Kajarya”, will have Ridhima investigating some gruesome activities going on in a village.
“Kajarya” has already premiered at various international film festivals.

Not jittery about ‘Hate Story 3’: Sharman
Best remembered for roles in films like “Life…In A Metro”, “3 Idiots” and “Ferrari Ki Sawaari”, Sharman Joshi says he only believes in giving his best to a project that he chooses from his heart, and then leaves it for the audience to decide its fate.
His next release would be “Hate Story 3”, and he’s waiting to know the response to it when it releases on December 4.
“But I’m not jittery because I do my work with complete faith and that’s all i can do… what I have control on, I give my 100 percent to it and I choose from my heart what roles i want to do, or the films I want to be a part of.
“Then, I give my 100 percent and hang in there,” Sharman told IANS.
In Vishal Pandya-directed “Hate Story 3”, Sharman will be seen with Daisy Shah, Karan Singh Grover and Zarine Khan.
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.
