Being fat won't be fun anymore

MUMBAI: Uma Devi, popularly known as Tun Tun, the rotund actress who brought a smile to many a lip with her inimitable flair for comedy, died on Monday due to a prolonged illness, family sources said.
She was 80 and is survived by two sons, they added.
The actress had been living a life of a recluse for the past couple of years, industry sources said.
She was last spotted at the felicitation function of Cine Artiste Association, which honoured her for her significant contribution to the film industry.
Uma Devi, who began her career as a singer in the 1960s lent her voice to many films, including the hummable ''Afsana likh rahi hu''.
She featured in more than 100 films.
Condoling her death, Cine Artiste Association President Chandrashekhar said, "Her death is a major loss to film industry."
The actress provided comic relief in many a tragic saga and rose on the popularity charts with her characteristic style.
An omnipresent and mischievous twinkle in her eye, her broad grin coupled with her slow gait succeeded in creating an impact of sorts, which was difficult for her successors to emulate.
