Reena Dwivedi Biography

Reena Dwivedi is an Indian government employee from Uttar Pradesh who gained wide attention after photographs of her in a yellow saree during the 2019 Lok

Early life and background

Reena Dwivedi was born in 1987 in Deoria, Uttar Pradesh. She later made her home in Lucknow. Identified as Indian by nationality and as a follower of Hinduism, she is described in available records as belonging to the Brahmin community. Details about her parents, siblings and formal education are not provided in the available material.

Career

Reena works as a Junior Assistant in the Public Works Department (PWD) of Uttar Pradesh. The appointment followed the death of her husband, Sanjay Dwivedi, who had been employed in the same department. He passed away in 2013 after a prolonged illness, and Reena began working in PWD in the years after.

Her public profile rose when photographs of her wearing a yellow saree while on election duty circulated widely during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. At the time she was posted at Booth No. 173 in Nagram, about 40 kilometres from Lucknow, where images showed her handling polling equipment. Similar images from the 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly elections exist but did not attract comparable attention then. She also served on duty during the 2018 Lucknow municipal corporation elections.

After the 2019 images went viral, Reena received offers to appear in Bhojpuri films, which she declined to focus on raising her son. Her routine includes daily yoga for fitness, and she has shared dance and fitness-related content on social media platforms. She was invited to appear on 94.3 BIG FM Lucknow in May 2019 and performed on the station.

Public profile

Reena became widely recognised as the ‘‘yellow saree’’ polling officer after social media users circulated photographs of her at the polling booth. Initial online confusion briefly led people to search for another name, but she was later identified as Reena Dwivedi. Reports about turnout at her booth circulated as well, with some claims overstating the figure.

Her social media activity includes sharing photographs and dance videos on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. Public interest in her extended beyond India; searches for her name were reported from multiple countries following the viral attention.

Personal life

Reena married Sanjay Dwivedi in 2004. The couple had one son, Aadit Dwivedi. Reena’s marital status is listed as widowed following her husband’s death in 2013. She is approximately 167 cm tall (about 5 ft 6 in), with described physical measurements and black hair and eyes. Her stated hobbies include dancing, singing and travelling. Favourite entertainers mentioned in the available information include actor Salman Khan and actress Anasuya Bharadwaj, and her favourite colours are yellow and black.

Latest updates

Following the viral attention in 2019, Reena remained active on social media and continued to decline film offers to concentrate on family and work. She has been mentioned as a possible candidate for popular reality television in media reports, and her public appearances have included radio and social engagements. Her monthly salary is reported in available material as approximately Rs. 20,200.

Reena’s visibility after the election images has centred on a combination of her government role, her social-media presence and the public interest generated by the viral photographs.
