Tina worked as the Collector and District Magistrate of Jaisalmer in Rajasthan before going on maternity leave. In her goodbye note, she had written, “अलविदा Jaisalmer! Truly blessed to have got an opportunity to serve this wonderful district for one year as its District Collector and Magistrate. Sharing glimpses of some cherished moments spent in the district.
“From launching initiatives like Swachh Jaisan and Ladies First (Jaisan Shakti) to securing All India Rank 2 in Niti Aayog’s Aspirational District Programme in November 2022, to hosting International Desert Festival 2023, it has been an amazing journey. I leave Jaisalmer today with a wealth of knowledge that I will always treasure. Working here has been a fantastic learning experience and I am very grateful for the opportunity.
“Jaisalmer, you shall be missed”
Tina was the IAS topper in 2016. She gained incredible popularity on social media, particularly on Instagram, due to her love life involving Athar Aamir Khan, who had secured all India 2nd rank in the UPSC exam the same year. Both got married in 2018 with the country’s prominent personalities attending their reception.
She had added Khan to her surname after marrying Athar. Her Instagram bio later proudly described her as a Kashmiri bahu.
However, both filed for divorce in 2020 before a Jaipur civil court approved their divorce application a year later.
Tina married Dr. Pradeep Gawande in 2021 in Rajasthan, while Athar tied the knot with Dr. Mehreen Qazi the same year. Pradeep is a civil servant working in the Rajasthan government.
