Netizens Overjoyed As Lola Kutty Makes a Nostalgic Comeback

Remember the good old 2000s when Channel V was our Instagram and the VJs were our Influencers? Well, if we have taken you down memory lane we might as well remind you of the OG Lola Kutty AKA Anu Menon who became an indispensable part of our lives and our entertainment. Many years later, the resurgence of Anu Menon’s beloved character has brought a wave of nostalgia for netizens who fondly remember the hysterical character. The recent Instagram reel featuring Lola Kutty has garnered widespread attention, with even Union Minister Smriti Irani joining the chorus of excitement.

Lola Kutty’s Instagram Revival

Anu Menon’s popular alter ego Lola Kutty, took to Instagram to revive the iconic character. Donning a flamboyant silk saree, gold jewellery, and a jasmine garland, she humorously voiced her exclusion from the Lollapalooza festival, one that has her name in it, creating a delightful moment for fans.

Social Media Buzz

Netizens, including Smriti Irani, expressed joy over Lola Kutty’s return, sharing the Instagram reel and reliving memories from the 2000s. The comical persona, known for her thick Malayalam accent and distinctive style, had been less visible in recent years, making this revival a heartwarming surprise for fans. Another fan replied “Oh how I’ve missed this legend! Welcome back, Ms Kutty.”

Lola Kutty’s Journey

Anu Menon’s journey to fame began when she joined Channel V in 2004 as Lola Kutty, a caricatured Keralite woman. Unlike other female VJs of the time who favoured Westernised attires, Lola Kutty embraced her Indian identity, standing out with her curly hair and iron-pressed silk sarees. The character became a refreshing presence, earning accolades and attracting a diverse audience, even making cameo appearances in movies.
