Umda Begum
Umda Begum, 1757, Afghan princess. Daughter of Muin-ul-Mulk, the last Mughal governor of Punjab, and Mughlani Begum, she had been betrothed to Imad-ul-Mulk, the wazir of Delhi, by her father. He, however, married another lady, Ganna Begum, which infuriated Mughlani Begum. The Afghan invader forced Imad-ul-Mulk, to divorce his wife, and to marry Umda Begum on 21 February 1757, at the instigation of Mughlani Begum, and his former wife was made a maid- servant to her.
