‘China Ke Bhagwan Hai:' Desi Mummy Makes Labubu Doll Say ‘Ram Ram Ji' With Other Hindu Gods
Last Updated: A woman's heartfelt prayers to a trendy Labubu doll, mistaking it for a Chinese god, have taken the internet by storm. The internet has been left in stitches after a video of an Indian woman worshipping a Labubu doll went viral. Labubu, a snaggle-toothed plush toy adored by collectors and fashion lovers worldwide, has become a major craze in 2025. But for this woman, the toy was something else entirely. Believing it to be a Chinese deity, she performed traditional rituals, offered prasad and prayed with full devotion, completely unaware that the figure was a trendy collectible. The clip, widely shared on TikTok and X, shows her deep in worship while family members look on. The post's caption read: 'An Indian girl told her mother that Labubu is a Chinese god. Just hearing this, she started worshipping Labubu. Jai Labubu." The unusual mix-up instantly caught the attention of social media, sparking laughter, memes and playful debates. Social Media Reactions Shared on August 13, the video garnered over 1.1 million views so far. Reactions poured in, with people both amused and reflective. A 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." An individual chimed in with a deeper perspective, 'Maybe you don't fully get what bhakti means. When you are 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." Others used the clip to highlight how quickly misinformation can spread, especially in an age of viral content. The Labubu Phenomenon Labubu was created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung and was inspired by Nordic mythology. First launched in 2019, it started as a niche collectible but soon exploded in popularity, especially among Gen Z. The craze accelerated when celebrities like BLACKPINK's Lisa, Rihanna and Dua Lipa were spotted with the plush toys, often attached to luxury handbags. Today, Labubu is more than just a toy; it is a fashion statement and a status symbol. Reportedly, prices range from around Rs 1,744 for standard models to an eye-watering Rs 10.5 lakh for rare editions. Collectors eagerly await limited-edition drops and share unboxing videos on social media. However, not everyone is a fan. Some people have claimed the doll carries 'negative energy," comparing it to Pazuzu, the demon from The Exorcist. Still, for most fans, Labubu remains a cute, quirky and highly sought-after cultural icon, and now, thanks to this viral video, a part of an unforgettable internet moment. view comments Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: August 15, 2025, 09:30 IST News viral 'China Ke Bhagwan Hai:' Desi Mummy Makes Labubu Doll Say 'Ram Ram Ji' With Other Hindu Gods Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
