Veteran Bengali Filmmaker Raja Sen Admitted to Kolkata Hospital in Critical Condition
Veteran Bengali filmmaker Raja Sen, aged 70, has been admitted to Kolkata's state-run SSKM Hospital in critical condition and is on ventilator support. His health issues began years ago after a back injury on the set of 'Maya Mridanga,' which gradually affected his mobility. Earlier this year, he developed lower body weakness linked to a complex neurological problem, leading to major surgery in February. Although his condition initially improved, it recently deteriorated, prompting close medical observation and concern from his family and the Bengali film community.
