In 2015, Tina Dabi created waves when she topped the prestigious UPSC exams. Then came the beautiful twist in the tale when Dabi announced her engagement with Athar Amir Khan, the man who lost out the IAS race to her. Athar Khan, who hails from Kashmir, had secured the second position in the UPSC civil services examination in 2015, while Tina Dabi had topped the civil service examination. The couple had tied the knot in an idyllic ceremony in the picturesque Kashmir Valley in 2018. On Friday (November 20), they filed for divorce with mutual consent in a family court in Jaipur. On August 10, 2021, a family court in Jaipur has granted divorce to IAS toppers Tina Dabi and Athar Khan.
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 the state
Many said that though Khan lost out to Dabi in the UPSC race, but at the end he won her heart.
‘Uske liye pehli nazar mein pyaar ho gaya (For him, it was love at first sight),’ Dabi had said about Khan soon after they announced their marriage plans.
The two met during the 2016 felicitation ceremony in North Block’s DoPT office and by the evening he was knocking at her door. Dabi had said that she was floored by his wit and charm, and added: “I thank Aamir every day for his perseverance. He is a wonderful person. We would be tying the knot very soon.”
However, 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.
