Guwahati, March 31: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, recreating a scene from the Assamese film Kokadeuta Nati Aru Hati, in which he had acted as a child artist.

Sarma, who was in Kampur, Nagaon, for the inauguration of a new bridge, rode an elephant across the Kapili Bridge—just as he had done decades ago for the film.

Taking to X, Sarma expressed his deep emotional connection to the location: “Kampur Kapili Bridge brings a wave of nostalgia, as it was in this very place that I rode an elephant years ago for the film Kokadeuta Nati Aru Hati. Today, as I dedicated the new bridge here—a longstanding demand of the people—I couldn’t help but recreate the cult scene.”

शायद आप में से कुछ लोगों को यह नहीं पता होगा कि कई दशकों पहले, मैंने एक फिल्म में बच्चे का किरदार निभाया था। उस फिल्म के एक सीन में मैं एक पुल पर हाथी पर सवार था। आज उसी पुल का पुनर्निर्माण कर उसे जनता को समर्पित किया और फिर से हाथी की सवारी भी की।

Sarma had a brief stint in Assamese cinema. The 1984 film Kokadeuta Nati Aru Hati (translated as Grandfather, Grandson, and Elephant), directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Pulak Gogoi, is regarded as a classic in Assamese cinema.
