  In this work we raise the question whether nonsymmetric gravity and string
theory are related. We start making the observation, that the gravitational
field $ g_{\mu\nu}$ and the nonsymmetric gauge field $ A_{\mu\nu}$ arising in
the low energy limit in the string theory are exactly the same two basic fields
used in four dimensions in nonsymmetric gravity. We argue, that this connection
between nonsymmetric gravity and string theory at the level of the gauge fields
$ g_{\mu\nu}$ and $ A_{\mu\nu}$ is not, however, reflected at the level of the
corresponding associated actions. In an effort to find a connection between
such an actions we discover a new gravitational action, which suggests an
alternative version of the bosonic string in which the target and the
world-volume metrics are unified.
