Umbreen: Difference between revisions

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

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.

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.

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]].

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.

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.
