The video has received mixed reactions. Some found it funny, while others noted how misinformation can spread online. One user wrote, "This is the last generation of innocence." Another commented, "I see a woman who can accept anything.. who sees divinity in everything.. Just Indian things." A third user added, "Maybe you don't fully get what bhakti means. When you're truly devotional, even a toy can become a source of transformation, because of what's going on inside you. You open up to grace, and grace is everywhere."
Labubu: From niche collectible to global fashion trend
Labubu was created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung and first launched in 2019. Inspired by Nordic mythology, it has gained a strong following among Gen Z and collectors worldwide. Fans often post unboxing videos and showcase limited-edition drops on social media. The dolls have also been spotted with celebrities such as BLACKPINK's Lisa, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa, often attached to luxury handbags.

Prices for Labubu dolls range from Rs 1,744 for standard editions to Rs 10.5 lakh for rare figures. Despite its popularity, some critics warn about the toy's supposed negative energy, comparing it to Pazuzu, the demon figure from The Exorcist.

Kiara Advani bagged debut film with one audition; dreams of playing Madhubala on screen
Kiara Advani has steadily carved her path in the film industry, rising to become one of Bollywood's most bankable stars. With the recent release of War 2, the sixth installment in YRF's blockbuster Spy Universe, Kiara is once again in the headlines. Starring alongside heavyweights Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, the film not only marks her entry into one of the biggest franchises in Indian cinema but also features her first-ever bikini scene, that has already gone viral. But long before the fame, big-banner films, and red carpets, Kiara's dream began at an age when most are still learning to walk. In an old interview with Good Times, Kiara recalled the moment she knew she was destined for the silver screen. 'I think I was about two when I knew this is what I wanted to do, I wanted to grow up and be an actor. I think it was because of all the Bollywood jhatka-matkas and watching Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, and Kareena Kapoor on screen that made me realize this is exactly where I want to be and what I want to do. While growing up, my parents saw that in me. No matter what I was doing — studying or taking part in extracurriculars, I'd somehow end up back in my room, turning on the TV, dancing to their songs, and enacting their scenes. Eventually, my parents said, 'You know what? Finish your graduation, then go for it. Give it a try. Live your dream.'' Kiara Advani made her Bollywood debut in 2014 with Fugly. Reflecting on how she landed the role, Kiara shared, 'It was just one audition. I remember doing it, and right there and then, my director went back, saw the tape, and said, 'You're on.' I was taken aback because I had auditioned before for other projects, and for one reason or another, they hadn't worked out. So when he said, 'You're on, and we're going to start the contract process,' I was like, 'Wow, that happened so fast!' I even asked, 'Isn't there anyone else who needs to see it or be part of this decision?' He told me it was all done, my audition had been sent to the producer, she'd loved it, and she called him the very next day. Everything happened at breakneck speed, and before I knew it, I was in workshops and ready to roll for the film.'

Among them, Kareena Kapoor holds a special place in her heart. 'Personally, I love Kareena Kapoor. I think the kind of films she's done, and the fact that she's completely her own person, is so inspiring. She puts up no pretences, and that's very endearing. There's a reason she's an icon.' When asked whose biopic she'd love to portray, Kiara didn't hesitate. 'I would really like to play Madhubala. I feel like I don't know enough about her, and I want to know a lot more. If I ever got that opportunity, I'd have to research her life, and that would be exciting.' In the same candid conversation, Kiara Advani also shared what qualities she looks for in a partner. 'I think he should be very confident about who he is, self-assured, working, witty, and humorous… all those qualities we all want in a man. Some might sound a little vain, like he should smell good and have those little cute quirks about him, but most importantly, he should be real and self-assured.' Kiara added that she wouldn't mind dating someone from Bollywood, something that would prove to be prophetic. Kiara met actor Sidharth Malhotra on the sets of Shershaah, where their on-screen chemistry sparked a real-life romance. The couple tied the knot on February 7, 2023, in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Just last month, the couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl.

'Her mouth stinks...', This actress' mouth was stinking during a romantic scene, angry actor couldn't tolerate it, film is..., actor are...
Often, such stories come from the corridors of the film industry, which are shocking. One such incident happened when during the shooting of a hit psychological crime thriller of 1997, the lead hero of the film went to the director to complain about his co-star. Before shooting the romantic scene of the film, as soon as he got close to the actress, the smell of the girl's mouth disturbed the actor so much that the hero said in front of everyone on the set, 'Her mouth is stinking.' This is the story of Bobby Deol, who became a villain from a Bollywood hero and made headlines. In the late 1990s, he gave evergreen films like 'Gupt' and 'Soldier'. He worked with everyone from Preity Zinta to Kajol, but do you know the incident when he had to shoot a romantic scene for a hit film and as soon as the scene with the actress started, his mind went numb. He himself revealed this shocking incident. This actor couldn't tolerate the smell In an interview given to Filmfare, it was revealed why this famous actress was stinking so much that he could not tolerate it. The incident is related to the 1997 film 'Gupt'. Kajol and Manisha Koirala were seen with Bobby Deol in this psychological crime thriller. These were not newcomers to the industry, but leading actresses, about whom Bobby Deol complained to the director. Why was there a bad smell coming from the actress's mouth According to Bobby, while shooting the song 'Bechaaniyan' in the film 'Gupt' with Manisha Koirala, both of them had to get close and bite the actress's chin. She had to bring her face close to Bobby for the shot. But it was becoming difficult for him because Manisha's mouth was smelling strongly of onions. Manisha had eaten chana chaat with raw onion just before the shooting. Due to this, it became very difficult for her to shoot this romantic scene. Bobby said that it was a miracle that I managed to do that scene, because romance was the last thing on my mind at that time. But then I told everything about it to the director as well. The second film of his career was 'Gupt.' In the year 1997, Bobby Deol appeared in 'Gupt'. This was his second film, and its lifetime collection was Rs 18.23 crore.
