Meeting the Sens
Amartya Sen was in Mumbai after and he was as candid as ever as he sat for a chitchat with daughter Nandana.
Amartya Sen was in Mumbai after around three years and he was as candid as ever as he sat for a chitchat with daughter Nandana. "The nobel is a somewhat overrated recognition but it has some advantages. It has allowed me to start two trust funds, in Bangladesh and India, to help with basic health education and gender equity."
Nandana, who's made Mumbai her base now, is three-films-old in Bollywood. Sen says he's seen only a part of Black, but he's seen her act in international projects.
"I read a lot of my dad's books," says Nandana, then somewhat cheekily, "It's easier for him to see all my movies than for me to read all his books!" They both laugh.
"My younger brother once pointed out that we're genetically deficient in that one area," Nandana agrees goodhumouredly, she adds "I don't think I've met anyone who can do so many things at once, and not just work. I aspire to do that."
