In 2000, she played Shubra in Madras Players' Lizard Waltz (written by Chetan Shah and directed by Bhagirathi Narayanan).

In this she was required to act with a heavy Malayali accent and this is what landed her the "Lola Kutty" role in Television.

After she became famous as Lola Kutty, Anuradha Menon also got some film offers, but she considers theatre as her priority.

The play deals with Jasmine's impending engagement and how it affects her swings in moods, one of which leads to fatal error in the profession, and how things are sorted out.

Unlike other VJs, she has curly oily hair sporting a gajra and wears silk saris.

[11] Her assistant is Shiny Alex, who wears fluorescent shirts, matching slippers, and mundu folded up.

[13] In 2006, a Limited Edition Deluxe Official 2006 Notebook Chronicle of Lola— the VJ, the Woman and the Wisecrack was released.

The Notebook features various facets of Lola—modelling her "LolaWay products", giving gyaan (knowledge) and discussing movies.

[17] In real life (i.e. aside from her Lola Kutty alter ego), she speaks English with a tinge of UK accent.

[19] Lola Kutty also appeared in the 2009 movie Quick Gun Murugun as the Locket Girl, and in the 2014 film Happy New Year as a television reporter.
