The gaming platform is a subsidiary of Okie Ventures, which has its range of LED televisions. Aggarwal has also been the brand ambassador for Okie Ventures. “While I was associated with Okie Ventures, I felt their gaming platform had a very immersive experience. I’m very happy about the fact that the games are going to be centered around mythology, folklore and Indian culture. This gives a very different and unique experience to the users,” Aggarwal told Business Insider in an interview. The actress shared that with this strategic investment, she will be helping the startup in its promotions, marketing and PR and attract new users to the platform. “I’m also very happy to give my inputs on different sorts of games. I also want to bring in more women into the gaming industry – as users, developers as well as protagonists of the game,” she said. While this may be the first investment for the actress in a startup, she believes there will be more. “With Okie Gaming, I’m very confident about the team and the platform. It’s definitely the first of many investments,” she said. Okie Gaming – betting on regional games The Okie Gaming platform which was launched recently, already has real-money games like Smart Housie, Fantasy Cricket, Smart Number Quiz, Ludo, Cricket, Smart Words, among others. The platform is also launching a ‘Desi Sports League,’ with plans to launch games showcasing each Indian state’s traditions. This will begin with the launch of Dahi Handi from Maharashtra and Vallam Kali (Boat Racing, Kerala) which will be launched by December. “We started developing a regular real money gaming platform from February 2020. When we were thinking what next, we thought why go behind the typical games as there is no experience to it. We thought of giving a new experience to the user. When one of my colleagues suggested why not make a boat race game, and that’s how Desi Sports League was born,” Jitin Masand, CEO, OKIE Ventures told Business Insider. Masand is also building on the Atmanirbhar initiative of the Indian government by encouraging ‘very Indian’ games. “We’ll have 12 games by next year,” said Masand, who took a conscious decision to stay away from real money gaming where there is a confusion between the game of skill and game of chance. “We want to promote Indian culture and aesthetics in gaming and take it to the world,” said Masand, who has himself invested ₹4 crore into developing the platform. Masand also said that they are focussing on India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets where they are not targeting payments online but are instead going for the old school method of recharging from the nearest kirana or mobile recharge shop. The minimum amount to play a game is ₹10. “We are going with the offline distribution of e-recharge. Users can recharge their Okie Gaming wallet from the shop and we have already onboard 10,000 retailers across West Bengal and Tamil Nadu,” said Masand.

Bollywood has always been the ‘place to be’ by every actress down south. While Bollywood veterans don’t mind having a go at regional cinema, southern beauties essentially vie for a meaty role in Bollywood and a pan-India exposure. As Tamannaah gets ready for her second Bollywood outing with Humshakals, let’s take a look at five hottest southern beauties who have come the Bollywood way. 
 
1. <keyword id="654350" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Tamannaah-Bhatia">Tamannaah Bhatia</keyword> 
A popular actress hailing from the Tamil movie industry, Tamannaah has also done remarkably well in Telugu films. Although she made her acting debut in 2005 with Bollywood flick, Chand Sa Roshan Chehra, she found name and fame down South and carved a niche for herself. But life came full circle for Tamannaah when she made a Bollywood comeback in Himmatwala opposite Ajay Devgn. Unfortunately, the film tanked at the box office. Now, the pretty actress is all set for another Bollywood film called Humshakals. 
 
2. <keyword id="88540" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ileana-DCruz">Ileana D’Cruz</keyword> 
She is a leading actress in the Telugu film industry and also won a Filmfare award for Devadasu in 2006. After doing some significant work in Southern cinema, Bollywood was a natural progression for Ileana. She had a dream Bollywood debut opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Anurag Basu’s Barfi, which was a mega hit. Recently, we saw her grooving with Varun Dhawan in Main Tera Hero. 
 
3. Asin 
After winning a number of awards in Tamil and Telugu films, Asin made an impressive Bollywood debut with Ghajini opposite Aamir Khan. The actress won almost all debut awards for the film that year. Although she did a number of Bollywood films post that including Ready, Housefull 2 and Bol Bachchan, but none of them made a mark in the box office. 
 
4. <keyword id="38180" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kajal-Aggarwal">Kajal Aggarwal</keyword> 
With commercial hits like Chandamama and Magadheera to her name, Kajal is one of the most popular actresses in Tamil and Telugu movies. Plus, she has some prominent awards to her name. Kajal had a small part in 2004 Bollywood film, Kyun! Ho Gaya Na... But her big Bollywood break came with Singham opposite Ajay Devgn, which was a massive hit. She has also appeared in Special 26 opposite Akshay Kumar. 
 
5. <keyword id="22532" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shruti-Haasan">Shruti Haasan</keyword> 
Kamal Hassan’s pretty daughter made her Bollywood debut with Luck opposite Imran Khan. Although she is yet to make it big in Bollywood, Shruti has established herself as a leading contemporary actress in Telugu cinema with a number of critically acclaimed movies in her kitty, including Gabbar Singh, Anaganaga O Dheerudu, Oh My Friend and 7aum Arivu.
