Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed putting it together."

Tina shared a review of ‘A Gentlemen in Moscow Book’ at the end of the page she wrote “My Rating: 10/10 rating”. She said that book was recommended by a ‘dear friend’ and turned out to be ‘the best books she has ever read this year’.

Tina Dabi, the topper of Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination’s 2015 batch and her husband, IAS Athar Khan filed for divorce with mutual consent in a family court in Jaipur.

The couple had tied the knot in an idyllic ceremony in the picturesque Kashmir Valley in 2018. 

Tina and Athar are believed to have become close to each other during their training period. Both are officers of the Rajasthan cadre and are currently posted in Jaipur.

The duo’s marriage had grabbed eyeballs sometime ago after Dabi had removed 'Khan' from her surname on social media. Around the same time, Athar too had unfollowed Tina on Instagram.

Tina Dabi and Athar Khan’s marriage had hit the headlines as the duo had received both accolades and criticisms for their inter-faith marriage. Their wedding reception was attended by Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu, the then Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan and Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
