In 2002 Endhita made her feature film debut with Titik Hitam (Black Spot), a horror film. This was followed by a role in Bangsal 13 (Ward 13).[1] In 2005 she starred in Missing as a woman with a sixth sense.[4] Other film works included television serials such as Amira, Andali Lala = Julia Robert, and Pengantin Remaja (Teenage Bride). She also acted in the film Belahan Jiwa (Part of the Soul).[3] FHM's publication of pictures of Endhita in skimpy clothing proved to be controversial in Indonesia.
