GUWAHATI: Nipon Goswami, the evergreen hero of Assamese movies who was a batchmate of Subhash Ghai and Shatrughan Sinha at Pune’s FTII and shared the screen with Amitabh Bachchan in Do Anjaane (1976) , passed away here on Thursday. Goswami was 80.
“Nipon Da”, as he was fondly known, breathed his last at a private hospital after a heart attack following prolonged illness. “Dr Bezbarua” (1969) — the first Assamese thriller— brought him stardom.
Born in Tezpur to an actor father and a singer mother in 1942, Goswami made his debut as a child actor in the Assamese film “Piyoli Phukan” in 1969 and went on to work in 60 movies, including Hindi and Bengali.
