IAS officer Tina Dabi engaged to senior IAS officer Pradeep Gawande
Several political heavyweights, including Vice President Venkaiah Naidu and many union ministers, attended her first wedding celebration. Her first marriage did not last long, and the couple opted to separate ways. A Jaipur civil court granted the pair divorce.
Tina Dabi, an IAS officer from Rajasthan, has made headlines once again. The UPSC 2015 exam topper made headlines first after marrying fellow IAS officers from Jammu and Kashmir, Athar Aamir Khan, in 2018. Tina was the first Dalit woman to top the UPSC on her first attempt, and Athar finished second in that year's exam.
Tina is getting married to her colleague Pradeep Gawande, a 2013 batch IAS officer, after breaking up with Athar.
Several political heavyweights, including Vice President Venkaiah Naidu and many union ministers, attended her first wedding celebration. Her first marriage did not last long, and the couple opted to separate ways. A Jaipur civil court granted the pair divorce.
Tina's ex-husband, Athar, has since left Rajasthan and is now working in his hometown of Srinagar.
Tina is now the Government of Rajasthan's Joint Secretary of Finance (Tax). Pradeep, Tina's future husband, obtained his MBBS before passing the IAS exam. He is believed to be 13 years senior to Tina and three years senior in the civil service.
Dabi chose social media to announce the news, posting a photo of herself with her future husband Pradeep. "I'm wearing the smile you (PradeepGawande) gave me, fiance," she said on the photo-sharing app Instagram. With over 1.4 million followers on the photo-sharing app, she is quite popular.
