Veteran Assamese actor Nipon Goswami took his last breath on Thursday at the age of 80. He was admitted on a private hospital due to reported chronic illness. He is left by his son and daughter-in-law.
The late actor was born in Tezpur and made his debut in the Assamese film industry as a child actor. His debut film as a child artist was Piyoli Phukan. At the Film and Television Institute of India, Goswami was at the same batch with Subhas Ghai, Shatrughan Sinha, Navin Nischol among others.
Goswami has instrumentally worked in an array of Assamese films including Mukuta, Sandhya Raag, Ajoli Nobou, Aparupa, Ghar Sangsar, Kokadeuta Nati aru Hati, Siraj, Deutar Biya, Baibhav, Hiya Diya Niya, Jon Jwole Kopolat, Jonaki Mon, Mitha Mitha Logonot, Kadambari, Morisika and others.
He was last seen in Lankakanda helmed by Rajani Barman.
Chief Minister of Assam Himanta Biswa Sarma, who also starred with the late actor as a child artiste in Kokadeuta Nati aru Haati, has extended his deep condolences to the latter’s family.
“I am deeply saddened to hear the news of the passing away of Assam’s evergreen actor. I am honoured to have been closely associated with him during the shooting of the film Kokadeuta Nati aru Haathi,” Sarma tweeted.
