Hrishitaa Bhatt playing a ‘hatke’ widow in ‘Junooniyat’
Mumbai:Actress Hrishitaa Bhatt says her ‘hatke’ character in the film “Junooniyat” prompted her to agree to do a special appearance in the film.
About her role in “Junooniyat”, Hrishitaa said in an interview, “It is very different; my character’s name is Mishti, a Bengali girl. While I am doing full-fledged roles, the hatke role prompted me that I should definitely take this into consideration as an actor.
Vivek Agnihotri is the director and I wanted to work with him. He told me about this very important role and he wanted me to do it because the role is such that it will come across beautifully and it is important because it takes the story forward as well.”
Hrishitaa plays the sister-in-law of lead actress Yami Gautam’s character in the film and Hrishitaa’s husband, who is in the army, loses his life. Army forms a major component of the film as lead actor Pulkit Samrat is also a army official.
“She is a young widow. When we see widows in cinema, we usually feel they are sad and old. But it happens numerous times for those in army, there are the young widows of our jawaans.
She is a modern, educated girl, dynamic and full of life. When you see her for the first time on screen, you’ll feel Yami and she are sisters or friends. In a discussion in the film all are asked ‘what is love?’ and Mishti says that love is a wait, and because of what she has gone though, she understands what eternal love is. It is a very sweet, short and special role in the film.”
About the experience of working with the other actors like Yami, Pulkit and Gulshan Devaiah, Hrishitaa said, “Yami and me became really good friends and the guys would feel how the girls got along so well because it normally doesn’t happen that two female co-stars make friends. She is lovely and great to work with. We have mutual respect for each other’s work.
Pulkit is fun-loving, mischievous and Gulshan is also like that. It was a great experience. We were a great, happy team together.”
Hrishitaa was last seen in “Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho”.
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.
