Pevita's record was broken in 2011 when three actresses were nominated for 12 years (Salma Paramitha, Rindu Purnama), 14 years (Gita Novalista, The Mirror Never Lies) and 15 years (Dinda Hauw, Small Letter to God).

She is known through the film Denias, Senandung di atas Awan (2006) as Angel. The film is Pevita's first experience in acting in her first feature film after she previously played a role in the soap opera Mutiara Hati as Tara.
