==Childhood==
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2022}}
Uma was born in a small village near Amroha District of present-day Uttar Pradesh, India in 1923. Her parents and brother were murdered for land arrogate. Just before two days of her demise she had been interviewed by film critic and historian Shishir Krishn Sharma. She said : "I don't remember who my parents were and how they looked, I would be two to two and half years when they passed away, I had a brother eight or nine years old whose name was Hari, I just remembered that we were living in a village named Alipur. One day brother was killed and left for maid servant to relatives in exchange for two times meal, that time I was four or five years old".
Uma Devi's childhood was marked by poverty. She later met Akhtar Abbas Kazi, an Excise Duty Inspector, who helped and inspired her. At the time of the India-Pakistan partition, Kazi moved to [[Lahore]], [[Pakistan]]. She was fed up with the circumstances of the time and she moved to Bombay to pursue singing in movies. Kazi also eventually moved to Bombay, where they got married in 1947.
==Career==
She arrived in Bombay (Mumbai) at the age of 23, having run away from home, and knocked on composer [[Naushad Ali]]'s door. She told him that she could sing and that she would throw herself in the ocean if he didn't give her a chance. He auditioned her, and hired her on the spot.  She made her debut as a solo playback singer in Nazir's ''Wamiq Azra'' (1946).<ref name=inde/><ref name="guar">[https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/jan/08/guardianobituaries.india Obituary – Tun Tun] ''[[The Guardian]]'', 8 January 2004.</ref> She soon signed a contract with the producer-director [[A.R. Kardar]], who used Naushad as music director, and went on to make a place for herself amidst music stalwarts like [[Noor Jehan]], [[Rajkumari Dubey|Rajkumari]], [[Khursheed Bano]] and [[Zohrabai Ambalewali]].
In 1947, she had huge hits with "Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon Dil-e-Beqarar Ka", "Yeh Kaun Chala Meri Aankhon Mein Sama Kar" and "Aaj Machi Hai Dhoom Jhoom Khushi Se Jhoom", which she sang for actress Munawar Sultana in A.R. Kardar's ''[[Dard (1947 film)|Dard]]'' (1947), again under the music direction of Naushad, she also sang a duet; "Betaab Hai Dil Dard-e-Mohabat Ke Asar Se", with [[Suraiya]].<ref>{{YouTube|XmtcvDnnAUg|"Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon"}}</ref> In fact, a gentleman from Delhi was so enamoured by her song "Afsana Likh Rahi Hoon", that he stayed with her in Bombay. They got married, and the couple had two daughters and two sons; her husband, whom she called Mohan, died in 1992.<ref>[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20031213/mailbag.htm Tun Tun (Uma Devi)—a tribute] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080328143056/http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20031213/mailbag.htm |date=28 March 2008 }} [[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]], 13 December 2003.</ref>
The success of ''Dard'' meant that she next received [[Mehboob Khan]]'s ''Anokhi Ada'' (1948), which again had two hit numbers, "Kahe Jiya Dole" and "Dil Ko Lagake Humne Kuch Bhi Na Paya". This brought her into the league of highly rated playback singers.<ref name=guar/> She reached her peak as a vocalist in director S.S. Vasan's ''[[Chandralekha (1948 film)|Chandralekha]]'' (1948) made by [[Gemini Studios]], [[Chennai|Madras]]. Her seven songs, which include hits such as "Saanjh Ki Bela" remain her most accomplished work in her singing career, though signing for the film also meant a breach of contract with producer-director Kardar, which led to her dwindling fortunes in the industry.
Moreover, in the following years, owing to her older style of singing and limited vocal range, she found it difficult to compete with the rising singers like [[Lata Mangeshkar]], [[Suman Kalyanpur]] etc. Eventually Naushad suggested that she take up acting, because she had a very bubbly personality and wonderful comic timing. She was inspired and awestruck by [[Dilip Kumar]] and had a wish, maintaining it stubbornly that in her first film, she would act alongside him. Knowing about this crazy love for [[Dilip Kumar]], Naushad asked [[Dilip Kumar]], who was his friend, to cast her in one of his films, and she appeared in ''[[Babul (1950 film)|Babul]]'' (1950) with him, which had [[Nargis]] as the lead actress; it is he who renamed her "Tun Tun" to suit her comic persona,<ref name="tricom">{{cite web |last=Kaur |first=Devinder Bir |date=7 December 2003 |title=Hindi cinema's first-ever comedienne |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20031207/spectrum/main6.htm |url-status=live |work=Spectrum.

She went on to act in [[Guru Dutt]]'s classics such as ''[[Aar Paar]]'' (1954), ''[[Mr. & Mrs. '55]]'' (1955) and ''[[Pyaasa]]'' (1957).<ref>[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060827/spectrum/main5.htm Unfair fun] [[The Tribune (Chandigarh)|The Tribune]], 27 August 2006.</ref> In the 1960s and 1970s, she was a permanent comic relief in numerous [[Bollywood]] films; a few years down the line, she most notably starred with [[Amitabh Bachchan]] in ''[[Namak Halaal]]'' (1982), a [[Prakash Mehra]] blockbuster.<ref name="inde">[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_20031217/ai_n12717193 Obituary: Uma Devi] [[The Independent]] (London), 17 December 2003.</ref>
In her career spanning five decades, she acted in about 198 films in Hindi/Urdu and other languages like Punjabi etc., pairing with top comedy actors of her times such as [[Bhagwan Dada]], [[Agha (actor)|Agha]], [[Sunder (actor)|Sunder]], [[Mukri]], [[Dhumal (actor)|Dhumal]], [[Johnny Walker (actor)|Johnny Walker]] and [[Keshto Mukherjee]].{{Citation needed|date=October 2022}} She was last seen in Hindi films in ''Kasam Dhande Ki'' (1990).
Owing to her popularity, the name Tun Tun has become synonymous with obese women in India.
==Death==
She died on 23 November 2003 in [[Andheri]], [[Mumbai]],<ref>[http://www.lifeinlegacy.com/2003/WIR20031129.html#P43 Tun Tun] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201130205218/http://www.lifeinlegacy.com/2003/wir20031129.html#P43 |date=30 November 2020 }} lifeinlegacy.com.</ref> after a prolonged illness at the age of 80 and is survived by her four children and four grandchildren.
