Aideu Nilambar Handique (1920 – 17 December 2002)[1] was the first film actress of Assamese cinema.

She starred in the film Joymoti (1935) directed by Jyoti Prasad Agarwala.

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.

[3] 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.
