She received threats and was eventually attacked by people for whom her participation in the event was an "immoral [activity]".[7] Mien Sugandhi, then state minister of Women Affairs, criticised the event and called her participation in it an "insult to the government".[8][9] It was not until 2005, that Indonesia was represented at Miss Universe pageant.[10]

Rohali made her film debut with Jose Poernomo-directed drama Moga Bunda Disayang Allah (2013).[16] Her second film role in Di Balik 98 earned her a nomination in Best Supporting Actress category at the Indonesian Box Office Movie Awards 2016.[17]
