‘Jai Labubu': Indian woman mistakes Labubu doll for Chinese God, offers prayers
Pop Mart's creation, the Labubu doll, continues to dominate the toy industry, with customers lining up for hours to get their hands on the collectible. The Labubu trend has taken the Internet by storm, as countless content creators and influencers share unboxing videos on social media. In India, the trend levelled recently after a woman seemingly mistook the Labubu doll for a Chinese God and offered prayers.
In the now-viral video, the woman can be seen performing rituals and offering prasad to the Labubu doll. Sharing the video, an X handle @TyrantOppressor wrote, 'An Indian girl told her mother that Labubu is a chinese god. Just hearing this she started worship Labubu. Jai Labubu.'

With over a million views, the video garnered a range of reactions from users slamming the woman to calling her 'cute.' A user wrote, 'This is literally how religions start. Someone makes something up, others believe it, and suddenly we're all worshipping 33000 gods!' Another user commented, 'She is innocent…that is all there is to this video. Why mock a religion (no matter whose it is) and more specifically why mock a mother's innocence?'
'This is happening in 2025 , imagine what would have happened in 9/10th century, copy paste, hijacked civilization.. whatever , I hope this video is just to make us fool, sarcastic way and not real !!' a third user reacted. 'I can't be surprised anymore,i'm done with that ac water,' a fourth user wrote.
In another Labubu incident, a Chinese boy caused damage worth over Rs 48 lakh at his relative's house after he was denied the viral doll. According to reports, the boy smashed a mirror-glass ceiling panel, which further struck a luxurious Italian crystal chandelier worth more than Rs 36 lakh.
