The Labubu Craze Hits Bollywood
What started as a niche collector's hobby has now become the talk of Tinseltown, with industry veterans and young stars alike showing off their Labubu collections. The trend gained momentum when businessman and social media sensation Orry, along with Khushi Kapoor and her father, legendary producer Boney Kapoor, began showcasing their growing army of these big-eyed, fanged creatures.

"Now I know why they're haunted!" the actress exclaimed, capturing the exact moment of realization that has made Labubu such a conversation starter among Bollywood's elite.
The charming yet unsettling appearance of these toys seems to be exactly what's drawing celebrities to them. With their vampire-like fangs, oversized eyes, and mischievous grins, Labubu toys walk the fine line between cute and creepy—much like many beloved cartoon characters that have stood the test of time.
