During one such performance, Yamini started stubbornly, while her father had asked her to wait behind the curtain, went on stage. Yamini says, “My parents just calm me and say, ‘Oh, we will soon call you on stage, don’t worry, just sit here.’

So after doing this two or three times, I got very upset and then I went to the stage when my father was dancing. I continued to demand that I perform. The audience was so happy that he let me dance and this was my first stage performance. “

यामिनी ने कहा था, “कुचिपुड़ी में प्रसंग, वाचिका अभिनय, संवाद, चरित्र-चित्रण, नाट्यम – सभी ऐसी चीजें हैं जो कहानी कहने के लिए बहुत उपयुक्त हैं, इसलिए मैंने कहानी कहने की एक शाम प्रस्तुत करने के बारे में सोचा, जहां मैं कुचिपुड़ी नृत्य की सभी अनूठी विशेषताओं का उपयोग उन सुंदर कहानियों को कहने के लिए कर सकूं जो पुरानी हैं – जैसे भागवतम् के नीतिशास्त्र और पुराण, लेकिन आज हमारे जीवन के लिए बहुत प्रासंगिक Are.”
