Hope Rochelle becomes role model for young girls: Keith
Mumbai:Actor Keith Sequeira, who has been evicted from “Bigg Boss Nau” mid-week before the finale, hopes that his girlfriend Rochelle Rao, who is “intelligent, strong and very real”, wins the reality show and inspires young girls.
Keith made it to the top five of the controversial show, which will have its grand finale on Saturday. Now, with only four contestants – Mandana Karimi, Rochelle, Prince Narula and Rishabh Sinha – left in the house, he hopes Rochelle steps out as a winner.
“Every candidate deserves to be a winner, though my heart hopes Rochelle wins. I wish she wins and becomes a role model for young girls.
“She won the Miss India pageant and if she will win this too, it will be great for young girls who are looking for something positive,” Keith told IANS after his elimination from the Salman Khan-hosted show.
“What makes her different from other contestants is that she has that reality side to her. She’s an intelligent woman, a strong woman, but she is very real too. She breaks down, and cries like every other girl.
“She is also a woman of substance. She fights for herself. Those things are important. You want to see a real person. That’s why it is called a reality TV show. You don’t want people with just strategies,” he added.
But getting voted out just a few days before the finale from the Colors channel show, which features celebrity contestants in a game of survival wherein they are locked up under 24X7 camera surveillance in an isolated house for around three months without the luxuries they are used to, has certainly left Keith disappointed.
“It feels bad because it’s like being there, but not there.
“Still, it’s a great feeling to get to the finale of a show that’s based on fighting and all that drama, especially for a person who is completely the opposite. I’m the kind of person who likes to make peace.
“In the last 15 weeks, people saw something and loved it. It was a great experience and thanks to all my fans who supported me,” said the former model.
He also praised Salman for being a gentleman.
“He is by far the most loved host I have ever seen. The housemates love him. We look forward to his episodes because he is so much fun. He handles every situation with a lot of grace. What a gentleman… not in a boring way,” he said.
Open to more reality shows?
“Of course yes, I’m open to more reality shows. I wont mind doing ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’. It would be taxing yet entertaining, and I love dancing. ‘Fear Factor’ would be interesting too,” he said.
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.
