She made her Telugu debut with the thriller Marshal in which she portrayed a journalist.[1] Regarding her performance, a critic noted that "Debut actress Megha Chowdary doesn't get scope to perform and she seems to be there just for the glamour quotient".[7] That same year, she starred in the Telugu film Oorantha Anukuntunnaru and played a girl next door.[1] Two years after completion, Varmaa was released on 6 October 2020 on over-the-top (OTT) platforms to negative reviews from critics.[8] Regarding her role in the film, M. Suganth of The Times of India stated, "Megha Chowdhury is entirely miscast and there is zero chemistry between her and Dhruv".[9]
