“It has been a journey of 27 years, and I am among the lucky few who's acting skills have always been appreciated. If a few out there feel that only comedy is my forte, then I think I have done enough work to respond to them. My latest releases Ardh (2022) and Apurva (2023) had nothing comic, yet my roles stood out. I am not here to prove anything to anyone. The industry has given me a lot, so I have no issue with tags. I know how to break any typecast,” says Yadav.

The actor believes his peers are unnecessarily under stress be it to get a certain image or to look a certain way.

“It’s on the go that I have learnt how to keep pressure at bay. Of late, social media have been a bit harsh on actors on various issues, be it for their appearance, or going through procedures to maintain their looks. I too went through hair transplant sometime back and I shared the process with my fans. There’s nothing to hide. For actors, camera is our best friend. And there’s nothing one can hide from the camera. If, today, I look a certain way and tomorrow I don’t, my fans will notice. Today, we are all living in an open world but then to each their own.”
