Nandana Deb Sen has denied reports on her father, Nobel Prize winner economist Amartya Sen's death news.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Nandana said, "Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. We just spent a wonderful week together with family in Cambridge—his hug as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!"
The media reports of the veteran economist's death news at the age of 89 went viral, after which his daughter, Nandana, clarified that her father is "totally fine".
Born in 1933 in West Bengal's Shantiniketan, Amartya Sen became the first Indian economist to win the Nobel Prize in Economics. He is also known for his authorship of numerous books.
