Born (as Pradeep) and brought up in a remote Indian village, Yashini had the passion to become a police officer since she was two years old but life had other plans when she discovered her hormonal changes during her late teens. Right from being abandoned by her family to being pushed into working multiple jobs, she faced day to day difficulties even before she could try to pursue her dream of becoming an IPS Officer. Her determination to achieve her dreams has set an example to the transgender community. Today she is a successful Sub-Inspector who performs her duty and proudly claims to be given the same authority as every other cadet.
