What Is 9K Gold? Live Events The government recently notified hallmarking for 9 karat gold jewellery, a move welcomed by the jewellery industry. Until now, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) had hallmarking norms for 24K, 23K, 22K, 20K, 18K, and 14K gold. The new 9K hallmarking standard is expected to revive demand for lightweight gold jewellery , especially as high gold prices have pushed many consumers away from traditional purchases. In June, gold sales by volume dropped 60%, marking the steepest fall since the Covid-19 pandemic. Price Difference: 9K vs 24K Gold At present, 9K gold is priced at around ?37,000 per 10 grams, significantly lower than the ?97,828 per 10 grams for 24K gold. Including 3% GST, the retail price of 9K gold is approximately ?38,110 per 10 grams. The introduction of hallmarking for 9K gold comes just ahead of the festive and wedding season, a crucial time for gold sales. Demand typically rises from Raksha Bandhan in August through Diwali and into the winter wedding season beginning in November. India consumes 800–850 tonnes of gold annually, with nearly 60% of this demand coming from rural areas, according to IBJA. Since the Russia-Ukraine war, gold prices have surged over 25% in the last year. In response, many jewellers have started offering 9K jewellery to appeal to budget-conscious customers.

Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it: Actor Surveen Chawla
Mumbai, Surveen Chawla, known for her performances in big OTT hit shows like 'Scared Games', 'Rana Naidu', 'Criminal Justice', says even though she would like to be part of films, women-centric stories are hard to come by. Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it: Actor Surveen Chawla Chawla said the industry is a work in progress when it comes to opportunities for women, both on and off screen. 'Women need to be stories, not just mere parts in it. The industry is evolving where we're eventually getting into a space where you want to aspire to have equality on every aspect whether it is equality on quality or in storytelling, pay parity or on how you're treated, keeping the hierarchy aside,' the actor told PTI. Good roles are plenty in the OTT space and that's what she is currently focused on, said the actor, who has acted in films such as 'Ugly', 'Hate Story 2', and 'Parched'. "I feel like there is scarcity of such parts being written in films, which is what draws you to doing this here . If I've an opportunity to do one or five or ten such films where it satisfies my hunger that I've been able to contribute to a project in a large way then I'll do it,' Chawla added. The 40-year-old actor, who will next appear in Netflix series 'Mandala Murders', said she is seeking roles that challenge her. 'A lot of work doesn't mean there's a queue. So, from that little basket of work that you get, you try to pick the most exciting one, challenging and unique one, something that you've not done in the past. "I need to feel that joy from within when I'm waking up on a day of shooting that spring in your step that today I'm going to surmount a small little peak." Headlined by Vaani Kapoor, 'Mandala Murders' is a mythological crime-thriller. Set in the quaint, mysterious town of Charandaspur, the series will see Kapoor as a no-nonsense investigative officer, Rhea Thomas, who unravels a chilling conspiracy of ritualistic killings tied to a centuries-old secret society. It is directed by Gopi Puthran of 'Mardaani 2' fame and Manan Rawat. Chawla's co-star from the show, Vaibhav Raj Gupta of 'Gullak' fame, said the upcoming show is a 'big opportunity' for him. 'I've been waiting for three years for this trailer to come, for this show to come. I was telling myself I was like as soon as 'Gullak' is there, 'Mandala...' will reach further than that because of so many things. All the things were amazing in this show and it was a big opportunity for me to reach people because they were only seeing me as Anu for a long time. "So, it was very tough for me to break that thing because then you need somebody like Gopi sir or Manan sir who can see you doing something different. So I'm asking them, 'how did you think that I can do Vikram Singh because I couldn't see myself',' he said. 'Madala Murders', produced by YRF Entertainment, will premiere on July 25 on Netflix.

Surveen Chawla does not follow a set process to approach her characters
Actress Surveen Chawla, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming series 'Mandala Murders,' has said that she doesn't follow a process to get in and out of a character. The actress recently spoke with IANS, and said that while she doesn't have a process to approach a character, she makes sure to be 100% present mentally in the scene, and do justice to the truth of the moment. However, once the director calls for 'Cut,' the actress easily moves away from it. The actress told IANS, 'I don't have a process. And I don't take myself too seriously. I stopped taking myself too seriously, as Surveen, the person or as Surveen the actor, both. This happened over the course of time. Where I didn't understand the hoo-ha. Or the bubble that I had created in my mind about who I was. I feel it's so important to not have that world around you where you're so engrossed in that bubble. That you can't have a bird's eye view of who you really are. I honestly don't have a process of getting in. Or getting out of one'. The actress further mentioned that a character or a part has ever really lingered on with her after she is done, dusted, completed a part. She continued, 'I think my only process is to just internalise and familiarise myself with what is written on paper. To such a degree that it becomes like second nature. Rather first nature. And then second nature is when I go back home from the set. I think I'm very instinctive, spontaneous'. 'I just kind of get disconnected. There is no part that has hovered around my head. For me it's a job that when I'm at it, I'm just 100% present there', she added. Chawla recently opened up about her role in 'Criminal Justice Season 4,' calling her character Anju Nagpal the 'emotional core' of the series. Chawla shared that Anju is calm and composed on the outside but carries a storm within, making the character both challenging and deeply compelling to portray. In a recent interaction with IANS, the actress shared her thoughts on preparing for her roles and what drew her to the gripping narrative. Reflecting on her character in 'Criminal Justice 4,' Surveen stated, 'See, for me, Anju Nagpal, my character, is the emotional core, the epicentre, the emotional epicenter of the show. And I think she's calm; she's composed. She's in the midst of a storm but not letting it out, not letting it show. She's keeping it all suppressed inside of her.' 'And what drew me to the part, actually, was all of this and much more, which I can't reveal as we speak. But more than just the part, I think it's also the entire team, you know, with such fantastic actors like Pankaj ji, Zeeshan, Shweta, Mitaji, Barkha, and everybody on board.' Indo-Asian News Service
