The video has sparked a mix of reactions, with some people finding it hilarious and others pointing out how easily 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 said, "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, created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, has gained a significant following among Gen Z and collectors, who share unboxing videos and limited-edition drops on social media platforms. These quirky, snaggle-toothed plush toys have evolved from niche collectables to a global fashion phenomenon. Originally inspired by Nordic mythology and launched in 2019, Labubu's popularity exploded after celebrities like BLACKPINK's Lisa, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa were spotted with them, often clipped to luxury handbags.
The doll's prices range from Rs 1,744 for standard editions to a staggering Rs 10.5 lakh for rare figures. However, not everyone is a fan, with some people warning about its supposed negative energy and drawing comparisons to Pazuzu, a demon figure from The Exorcist.

‘I was better than Ranbir Kapoor': Muzammil Ibrahim on why he deserved 'Best Debut' award for his movie
Actor Muzammil Ibrahim , who debuted in Bollywood with the 2007 film Dhokha, recently spoke about the recognition he feels he was denied. The model-turned-actor stated that his performance in his first film warranted the Best Debut award , which instead went to Ranbir Kapoor for Saawariya, released the same year. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency In a conversation with Filmibeat Prime, Muzammil expressed that the industry has not treated him fairly. He believes that had a star kid performed similarly in a debut role, the outcome would have been very different. He added that he did not find Ranbir Kapoor's performance in Saawariya particularly exceptional and feels his own contribution deserved more acknowledgment. He said, "I don't remember Ranbir Kapoor acting that great in Saawariya. I know that I deserved the Best Debut award for my first film. I do feel that I have not gotten my due." Recognition and Industry Bias Muzammil admitted that while he is beginning to receive some recognition for his work, it is still not comparable to what he believes he earned. He emphasized that if he had been born into a film family, the attention and limelight following his debut would have been far greater. Reflecting on the early buzz surrounding him, he recalled that many considered him India's next potential superstar, although he clarified that he did not claim this title himself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him?
