Gold loses sheen, drops Rs 300 on demand slump, global cues NEW DELHI, Mar 30: Gold prices tumbled by Rs 300 to Rs 29,250 per 10 grams at the bullion market today, tracking a weak trend overseas amid fall in demand from local jewellers. Silver, however, strengthened by Rs 50 to Rs 42,300 per kg backed by increased offtake by industrial units and coin makers. Traders said a weak trend in the overseas markets led to a fall in gold prices and eroded appeal of the metal as a safe-haven after the US dollar strengthened against a basket of major currencies amid growing expectations for more US interest rate increases this year. Globally, gold fell by 0.22 per cent to USD 1,250.60 an ounce in Singapore. Besides, easing demand from local jewellers and retailers at current levels also dampened sentiment, they said. In the national capital, gold of 99.9 per cent and 99.5 per cent purity plunged by Rs 300 each to Rs 29,250 and Rs 29,100 per 10 grams, respectively. The precious metal had gained Rs 200 yesterday. Sovereign also declined by Rs 100 to Rs 24,400 per piece of eight grams. On the other hand, silver ready remained firm and up by another Rs 50 to Rs 42,300 per kg and weekly-based delivery by Rs 70 to Rs 42,220 per kg. Silver coins remained unaltered to Rs 71,000 for buying and Rs 72,000 for selling of 100 pieces. (AGENCIES)

MUMBAI, Mar 30:  Makers of Raveena Tandon’s film “Maatr” have confirmed that Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan won’t be featuring in a special music video as was earlier planned.

There were reports that the makers were contemplating to include a video featuring the singer for the promotions of the film.

When asked about the same, producer Anjum Rizvi told reporters, “It would’ve been very ideal if we could, but unfortunately at this stage it is not happening.”

The makers will now apparently feature Raveena’s scene from the film in the music video instead of Rahat.

The actress, however, feels there should be no boundaries when it comes to arts and culture.

“As far as I am concerned, I feel art (and) culture music has no boundaries. Music is something which flows from within, has no walls, you can’t conceal it. Once the sound, musical notes are out you can’t control it,” Raveena says.

She was speaking at the trailer launch of “Maatr”, here today.

The 42-year-old actress also says the team has scrapped plans to promote the film on The Viral Fever (TVF), an online comedy platform, whose founder Arunabh Kumar was booked by Mumbai police for allegedly causing sexual harassment to unknown women.

“I was stuck in the middle of a snow blizzard in New York and my Internet wasn’t working. But when I returned, it was a decision made by the whole team (to not promote on TVF) and we will abide by that.”

The movie is scheduled to release on April 21. (AGENCIES)
