Indian economist and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen is “totally fine” and in good health, his daughter, actor Nandana Sen confirmed on Tuesday, hours after fake news about his death started circulating on social media.
A post on X (formerly Twitter) claiming to be that of this year’s Economics Nobel winner Claudia Goldin had stated that Sen had passed away, which was rubbished by his family.

Well-wishers of the economist were naturally relieved, with many flooding the comments section of Nandana Sen’s post. “It is sheer joy to read this tweet after the gloomy last hour. Best wishes to one of the finest souls of our country,” a Twitter user wrote.
The X account of Claudia Goldin, which had posted about his death, later tweeted, “This account is hoax created by Italian journalist Tommaso Debenedetti.”
