Sonam Kapoor Instagram – How often have you heard the (rather sexist and outdated) phrase… “Women aren’t funny”? Well, here’s a look at Uma Devi Khatri, an iconic diva, who took that stereotype and broke it – becoming the first female comedian of Bollywood. Her career of 5 decades had her sing, act and tickle our funny bones in over 150 films, but did you know that she was actually neither a trained singer nor a learned actor? She gave her career every push it needed to propel it forward – no matter what came in her way. Belovedly re-christened Tun Tun by Dilip Kumar, she made her way into our hearts. Tun Tun passed away at the age of 80 in 2003, but is still remembered for bringing joy to so many lives, spearheading the way for female comedians, and being her vivacious self: no matter the hardship or struggle she faced. Who are some of your favourite female comedienne, guys? Let me know in the comments below! #WomenInFilm #UmaDeviKhatri #TunTun #Retro #WhoRunTheWorld #FilmHistory #Archives
