'''Umbreen '''was the [[mother]] of [[Najia Khan]] and the [[grandmother]] of [[Yasmin Khan|Yasmin]] and [[Sonya Khan]].

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
She was a [[Islam|Muslim]] born in the [[Punjab]] and grew up with [[Prem]].

[[Umbreen's father]] brought a world [[map]] back from the market one day. She decided to put a [[finger]] on the map, and resolved to go wherever it landed. It landed on [[Sheffield]], and she wished to go to the [[England|English]] city she deemed to be exotic. ([[TV]]: ''[[Demons of the Punjab (TV story)|Demons of the Punjab]]'')

=== Partition of India ===
In [[1947]], Umbreen was living with her mother [[Hasna]] and was engaged to Prem, a [[Hinduism|Hindu]]. On [[17 August]], Umbreen's future [[granddaughter]] Yaz arrived at her house with the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], [[Ryan Sinclair]] and [[Graham O'Brien]]. Yaz claimed to be the [[sister]] of a third cousin of Umbreen's [[uncle]] Malik.

Umbreen listened to the announcement that she was now living in [[Pakistan]], as the [[Partition of India]] had just begun. Despite the strife caused by the partition, Umbreen was determined to marry Prem, who she considered to be the one certain thing in her life.

She [[marriage|married]] Prem on [[18 August]] 1947 on the border of [[India]] and Pakistan, in a wedding officiated by the Doctor. She became the first woman to get married in Pakistan. Yaz helped perform the Hindu [[wedding]] tradition of tying the couple's [[hand]]s together with a [[rope]]. Later, the couple also performed a Muslim tradition as Prem gifted a [[watch]] to Umbreen. Though the watch face broke, Umbreen was still happy, and remarked that it would capture that moment in time.

Though Umbreen knew her new brother-in-law [[Manish]] had reservations about the marriage, she still offered to feed him and welcomed him as her brother. However, he rejected her offer. When armed men arrived, Prem ordered her to flee, which she did. She and Hasna fled to Lahore, where Umbreen lived into the 1950s.

Umbreen married a second time. Her [[Yasmin Khan's grandfather|second husband]] was Muslim like her, as opposed to the Hindu Prem. ([[TV]]: ''[[Demons of the Punjab (TV story)|Demons of the Punjab]]'')

=== Life in England ===
She did eventually move to Sheffield where she became the first Muslim woman to work in a textile mill in [[South Yorkshire]]. Her husband would take her out every [[Wednesday]]. She also had her daughter [[Najia Khan|Najia]] while living in Sheffield. Her daughter eventually married [[Hakim Khan]] and had two children: [[Yasmin Khan|Yasmin]] and [[Sonya Khan|Sonya]], Umbreen's granddaughters. Yaz was her favourite granddaughter, though Najia warned her about mentioning it.

By [[2018]], Umbreen made use of a [[wheelchair]]. She celebrated her [[birthday]] at [[Flat 34 (Park Hill)|Najia's flat]] in the [[Park Hill]] estate. She was unimpressed with the fuss her relatives made and the shop-bought [[cake]] but gave some gifts to her relatives: a collection of [[letters]] from her second husband to Najia, a present from her second husband to Sonya, and the watch from her first wedding to Yaz. She reminisced about her lifelong accomplishments, but did not elaborate on them.

This sparked Yaz's interest to know more about her grandmother's personal history and watch the events of her life in 1947 unfold. When she returned to 2018, Umbreen offered to tell her the story of the watch, but Yaz rejected the offer, knowing the pain Prem's death had caused her. ([[TV]]: ''[[Demons of the Punjab (TV story)|Demons of the Punjab]]'')

Umbreen often told her granddaughter that "[[courage]] is knowing something will hurt, and doing it anyway", though she also said that this was the "definition of [[stupidity]]". Yaz related this to the Doctor when they discussed the prospect of pursuing a [[romance|romantic relationship]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Legend of the Sea Devils (TV story)|Legend of the Sea Devils]]'')
