Confidential information

I was surprised to see shiv discussing confidential matters pertaining to the case with anandi and anandi using that information which must have alerted Promila.

Talking about keeping professional and personal lives apart!

This is one of the reasons that husband and wife are not posted to the same offices in government circles.

Shiv should have atleast told anandi not to use that information as it would have alerted promila.

I agree. .. at the end of the convo, I expected Shiv to tell her that please don't go to see Pramila as this will alert her. Particularly when A mentioned that she was going to see Pramila the next day...

Was the information confidential in the first place?

The information was not confidential and discussing an arrest (even newspapers bring out news regarding such arrests) with the person who thinks that Pramila's academy is above board is a way to tell her that she was wrong in trusting her. It is another matter that Anandi is adamant (I do not like her this tendency to expect the wrongdoer to accept it before her - she applied this in case of Rasika and now she expects that Pramila will disclose to her if she is doing anything illegal 😕). Anandi should have at least checked with Pramila's neighbours because someone is guilty or not cannot be decided by talking to that person alone. Neighbours would have informed her about men coming and going during night in the academy itself - thereby negating Pramila's claim that it was all Purabia's fault. Hope Anandi will learn her lessons by this incident.

and why anandi should apologize to that woman? That too so profusely?

There may not be official ban. But usually it is avoided.

No ban and it is not even avoided. But it is difficult in higher positions especially in smaller cities. Like if Shiv was married with another IAS officer - perhaps they would have been in different cities (only one DC post and not many other posts where IAS officers can be posted in smaller cities)- in bigger cities, husband and wife can be in same place/same office.

How about anandi is posted as his PA?

Anandi can be posted as his PA if she was working as PA in Government of Rajasthan.
