Ms Dabi late last year divorced Athar Aamir Khan whom she had married in 2018. The wedding made headlines and was attended by top politicians. Tina Dabi topped the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination for civil services in 2015, the same year Athar Khan ranked second.

Their romance and wedding were straight out of a movie script. Ms Dabi, a graduate of Delhi's Lady Shri Ram College, shot to the spotlight after she became the first Dalit to top the prestigious civil services exam, that too in the first attempt. Their wedding reception in Delhi was attended by Vice President Venkaiah Naidu, Union Ministers and then Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
