Veteran Bengali filmmaker Raja Sen, known for three films that won National Film Awards, has died at the age of 71. Sen had been hospitalized in critical condition at SSKM Hospital in Kolkata after his health worsened in recent days. He was admitted to the hospital in a critical state and was on a ventilator. Sen's health problems began years ago following a back injury sustained while filming 'Maya Mridanga'.
The injury initially didn't cause concern, but it gradually impacted his mobility. In 2023, Sen developed lower body weakness after diagnosing a complex neurological condition following surgery in February. Although his condition improved temporarily after the surgery, it worsened again in recent weeks. Born in Kolkata on November 10, 1955, Sen initially worked in Bengali television before moving on to feature filmmaking. He is survived by his wife Papiya Sen and daughters Subhasree Sen and Sreyoshi Sen.
