Last Updated:
The famous doll is seen dressed in a saree and wearing a maang teeka, a traditional Indian forehead ornament.
Labubu dolls are everywhere on the Internet. These odd-looking collectables—called cute, ugly, creepy and charming all at once—were created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung. They are produced by the Chinese toy giant Pop Mart. Now, the craze has hit India too.
A new viral video shows what a Labubu doll would look like if it were Indian. The video was shared by the Instagram page 24thspoke, a brand that sells accessories and also offers Labubu dolls. It features an 'Indianised" version of the doll, and social media users are loving it.
In the video, the doll is dressed in a saree and wears a maang teeka, a traditional Indian forehead ornament. A Hindi song plays in the background as the doll poses in full desi style. The creative twist has won many hearts online.
People are reacting with humour and affection. One user joked, 'Labubupreet Kaur. Hahah." Another said, 'Pehli baar yeh cheez cute lagi hai." The name Labubu Kaur is now trending as a nickname for this Indian Labubu.
That's not all. A funny theory is also spreading online. Some users are saying that this Indian Labubu doll is getting married to Tatya Vinchu, a haunted doll from a South Indian film. Memes and comments are pouring in, and the internet can't get enough of this crossover idea.
Labubu dolls have become popular with collectors, celebrities and toy lovers. Their quirky look and limited-edition designs make them a hit. They are also a big reason for the success of Pop Mart.
Wang Ning, the 38-year-old founder, Chairman and CEO of Pop Mart, is now a billionaire. According to a Forbes April 2025 report, his real-time net worth stands at $18.7 billion, thanks to the worldwide popularity of Labubu.
From shelves in China to fan-made weddings in India, Labubu dolls have clearly become more than just toys—they're a global pop culture phenomenon. And now, with Labubupreet Kaur joining the party, the craze is only growing.
