The personal lives of civil servants such as IAS, IFS, and IRS officers have recently become a topic of discussion, drawing significant public attention. From their marriages and relationships to lifestyle choices, these high-ranking bureaucrats are increasingly in the news headlines. Recently, IFS Apala Mishra, a candidate who secured the All India Rank(AIR) 9th in the UPSC CSE examination, got married to Abhishek Bakolia, an IFS officer. Media reports suggest that IFS officers Apala Mishra and Abhishek Bakolia tied the knot in November 2024 at Jim Corbett National Park. However, Apala shared her wedding photos in April.
This week, she shared her wedding photos, including a stunning shot of her walking down the aisle in a bridal lehenga. Another photo captures a heartfelt moment — a close-up of her and her husband holding hands.
