Actor , who was last seen in Bigg Boss 18, is now setting her heart on South Indian cinema. After her stint with Bigg Boss and her recent Bollywood debut in Chill Maar na Bro, Yamini feels the timing is right to enter South cinema — Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada films. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'The stories being told in South Indian cinema today are bigger, bolder, and rooted in emotional truth. There's so much beauty in the writing, the vision, and the depth of characters. And now, I finally feel I'm ready—as an actor and as a person—to be part of that,' she says. Yamini's journey into showbiz began with her two debut films, one in Telugu and one in Punjabi, both releasing on the same day. 'It was exciting and surreal,' she recalls. Yamini added, 'But naturally, I leaned more toward Punjabi films at that time as I was comfortable with the language, I knew the people, and it gave me a safe space to grow.' Despite having deep respect for South Indian cinema, she admits that she took a step back then. 'I was in awe, but also slightly intimidated because of the language barrier. I wasn't ready at that time. Now, after so many life and work experiences, I can proudly say, I am.' Yamini further opened up about her journey into the Industry, 'People know me for being fun, expressive, and full of life. Whether it's on reality TV, film sets, or public events, I carry that energy with me, but there's also a very grounded, passionate side to me that thrives on serious, meaningful work.' Being a dental surgeon, transitioned into cinema, Yamini made her mark with the Telugu film Chuttalabbai, and has continued to grow. Now, she's looking to make a purposeful comeback to the South — this time not as a newcomer, but as an artist with intent. Yamini said, 'It's no longer just about screen time or a role. It's about the script, the emotion, the message. South cinema gives actors that space to explore — and I'm genuinely drawn to that now. '
