Smti Aideo Handique was born in the1919.  She  was  given a  name  by  her parents when she was born but everybody endearingly used  to call her 'Aideo' which stuck and she  herself  now does not remember what  was that  name given  to her  by  her parents.

When  Aideo was about 13  years  of  age, a  person   named   Dimba   Borgohain   took   her  and her  younger  brother Keshab  to Gomirighat  near  Bokakhat to see Ferries plying  on the river Brahmaputra.However from there without her knowledge,  she   was  taken to Bholoaguri  T. E.  in Sonitpur  District  where Rupkonwar Jyotiprasad  Agarwalla  was in  the  process  of  making   the  first  Assamese film Joymoti. He was on the  look out for a  girl  to  play  the  role of   Ahom  princess Joymoti in the film and Aideo with her looks and bearings fitted perfectly for the role. She was made to act in the movie which   ultimately  changed   the  entire course of  her  life. After completing shooting  when she returned home she was ostracized  by  the  village  people   because  at  that  time  acting by  a  female   was  considered  a taboo. She remained  unmarried   and   now leads a  lonely  life at her home in Panidihing Gaon, near Kamargaon.
