Anuradha Menon

(Batch of ’95)

"GSC gave me confidence to face anything and everything"

Everyone who’s laughed at the antics of Lola Kutty or watched the Prime special, Wonder Menon, will know Anu Menon. Anu got her start in school plays at GSC, appeared in many plays as a part of Madras Players, studied theatre in London and then, moved to Mumbai, the theatre hub in India. Her role in The Verdict as a governess with a heavy Malayali accent won her the role of Lola Kutty in Channel V and the rest, as they say, is history…
