She's a role model for thousands preparing for UPSC without privilege, without Plan B, just pure determination. Taskeen lives in Meerut with her parents Aftab and Shaheen Khan, and her younger sister Aliza. Her story is now doing the rounds on social media, not because she walked a ramp, but because she walked into the system. (News18 Hindi)
