In 2018, Anupama Gowda played the role of a character named Mallika in the Kannada film Aa Karaala Ratri. Talking about her role in the film, she said,
It was challenging for me to essay Mallika, because it was very different from what I did on TV. When I read the bound script, I was worried if people would accept me as Mallika. I even asked Dayal sir if I can do justice to the character. Thankfully, people have forgotten my TV role a little bit. More than acting, doing this movie was an excellent learning process for me.”

From being part of a musical reality show to anchoring a comedy programme, it is a sea of difference. It was a beautiful journey because I got to listen to a lot of music 24/7. I learnt so much about music directors and their life’s accomplishments and it was extremely inspirational. Being an emotional person, I remember being moved on so many occasions and being teary-eyed. Majaa Bharatha, on the other hand, is all about laughter. So much so that on some days, my face aches with all the laughing that we do on the sets. It is two entirely different set of emotions with both these shows.”

I never wanted to get into acting, it just happened by sheer luck. My dad tried to put me in front of the bigger screen, but I was least bothered about it. Later on, I joined a dance company.
