| In 1933, Jyotiprasad Agarwalla was planning the first Assamese talkie, Joymati. Then an associate of Agarwalla (Dimba Gohain)- and Aideu's cousin showed photographs of Aideu to Agarwalla.

Personal life
Aideu Handique was born on June 27 1915 in Pani Dihingiya, Golaghat, Assam to Nilambar Handique and Malakhi Handique. She remained unmarried because she called her co-actor Bongohordeo (husband) in the film and it was treated as taboo in the society at that time. she was shunned by neighbors, and sank into solitude and obscurity.
Recognition
She never acted after Joymoti gain except for a minuscule role in the film Ganga Siloni and a guest appearance in a film made on her life. In 1985, when Assam celebrated the golden jubilee of the state's cinema, was her role 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. In 1991, a girls' school was named after her in her village.
