<br />
==Personal life==<br />
Aideu Handique was born on 1920 in Pani Dihingiya, Golaghat, Assam to Nilambar Handique and Malakhi Handique. She remained unmarried because she referred to the co-actor assuming the role of her character's husband as ''Bongohordeo'' ([[Assamese language|Assamese]] for husband) in the film. Unfortunately, the general public perceived Handique as having violated a cultural taboo and she was, consequently, shunned by neighbors and would sink into solitude and obscurity.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title = The Telegraph - North East|url = http://www.telegraphindia.com/1021218/asp/northeast/story_1492663.asp|website = www.telegraphindia.com|accessdate = 2015-10-08}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Recognition ==<br />
She never acted after [[Joymoti (1935 film)|Joymoti]] again except for a minuscule role in the film ''Ganga Siloni'' and a guest appearance in a film made on her life.<ref name=":0" /> In 1985, when Assam celebrated the golden jubilee of the state's cinema, her role was acknowledged. The East Indian Motion Picture Association had gifted Aideu a wheelchair. The Assam Government, much later, gave her Rs.1,500 a month as pension. It also recommended her name for Padmashri, but was denied the award because she had done only one film.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Recognition too late|url = http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-sundaymagazine/recognition-too-late/article2275064.ece|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 2007-03-25|access-date = 2015-10-08|issn = 0971-751X|language = en}}</ref> In 1991, a girls' school was named after her in her village.<ref name="guardian2003" /><br />
