Editing intrigued, so I learnt it. I have never assisted anybody, so I have learnt everything about direction and writing from editing. While I was editing, I got the offer to direct something for television, post which I directed fiction and non-fiction shows on TV for 12 years
The lady who started her career in television as an editor and graduated to direction with the Star Movies' show This Week That Year has come a long way. After the Nikhil Kapoor anchored show, Yadav floated her own production house with Kapoor and produced one-off stories for Star Bestsellers, which she also directed.
