I&#8217;m surprised I hadn&#8217;t heard of Lola sooner. Then again, maybe there&#8217;s a little part of Lola Kutty that exists within all of us and I&#8217;ve always known her.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Lola Kutty is a bespectacled Keralite lady who speaks English with a heavy Malayali accent. Unlike other VJs, she has curly oily hair sporting a gajra and wears silk saris. Unlike Jassi of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin, Lola has no plans for a makeover[3]. She is a huge fan of Abhishek Bachchan[9]. Her assistant is Shiny Alex, who wears fluorescent shirts, matching slippers, and mundu folded up.
