Bhubaneswar: Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Tina Dabi, a UPSC 2016 exam topper from Rajasthan, is set to tie the knot again. She took to social media on Monday to announce her engagement with IAS Officer Pradeep Gawande, who is from the 2013 cadre.
“I am wearing the smile you (PradeepGawande) gave me, fiance,” she wrote on the photo-sharing app, Instagram.
Pradeep, who is currently serving as Director, Archeology & Museums, Rajasthan, also posted a photo with Tina and wrote: “Together, is my favourite place to be!.”
According to media reports, the couple will get married on April 22 in Jaipur.
Tina Dabi was previously married to IAS officer Athar Khan, who came second in the 2015 IAS examinations. The marriage was short-lived and the couple got divorced in 2021.
Twitter users were quick to react to the news and shared memes, targeting the couple for their 13 years of age gap:
Don’t get it – why should the divorce of two young educated and independent professionals should be a trending topic in India. Surely “live happily ever after” was not a condition of their appointment in civil services. For God’s sake – respect privacy. #tinadabi #atharkhan
