Early and personal life

Yadav was born on 26 November 1997 in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Her family lived in a single-room dormitory[1] in the premises of the Tatya Tope Nagar Sports Complex where her father Mehtab Singh Yadav worked as an electrician. Yadav would accompany her father to the shooting range at the complex and, in 2012, decided to make a career in the sport.[2][3] While she took up pistol shooting and trained at the Madhya Pradesh Shooting Academy,[4] her younger brother Rajesh chose shotgun but "did not pursue it as seriously as Chinki".[2]

As of 2019, Yadav works as an assistant bank manager.[2]
