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.
