Vishwak Sen uses Labubu doll as his G Wagon's dishti bomma; fans think it's hilarious. Watch
The world might be fawning over Labubu dolls, showing them off on social media and hanging them on designer bags, but Vishwak Sen has other plans. A paparazzo caught the actor out and about in Hyderabad, but what drew everyone's attention was Vishwak using his Labubu as his G Wagon's dishti bomma (doll to ward off evil). Fans couldn't stop laughing about it. Vishwak Sen hung a Labubu on his G Wagon like a dishti bomma to ward off evil eyes. (Instagram: Artistrybuzz) Vishwak Sen's dishti bomma Labubu A paparazzo posted a video on Instagram of Vishwak spotted driving his G Wagon in Hyderabad. Hanging from the car was a Labubu, not inside from a rearview mirror, but behind the car in a spot where people hang amulets or dolls to ward off evil. These China-made monster dolls might cost around $27.99 to $959.90 ( ₹2398.11 to ₹82,241.74), depending on the size, but to the actor, they seem nothing more than an odd car accessory. One fan commented, 'VishwakSen proved it that money can buy and money can make a labubu doll into Dishti Bomma.' Another joked that this was the 'right' way to use the doll, and a fan wrote, 'G wagon paruvu matter edhe (It's a matter of respect for the G Wagon).' One person even joked, 'Labubu (cross emoji) buri nazar waale tera muh kaala (tick emoji).' Another wrote that they would've 'done the same' if they had found a Labubu. Numerous Indian celebrities, including Ananya Panday, Sharvari Wagh, Pashmina Roshan, and Twinkle Khanna, have embraced the Labubu toy, which has recently regained popularity. The toy gained widespread attention first in April 2024 after K-pop group BLACKPINK member Lisa was spotted with a Labubu keychain on her bag. Recent work In 2024, Vishwak was seen in Gaami, Gangs of Godavari and Mechanic Rocky. In 2025, he starred in Laila. While Gaami got critical acclaim and Laila was criticised for vulgarity, all his films struggled to find footing at the box office. He will soon reprise his role as Vivek for Tharun Bhascker's sequel to Ee Nagaraniki Emaindhi, titled ENE Repeat.

Labubu fan club gets a new member, Vishwak Sen seen dangling it on his Mercedes
Vishwak Sen is currently working on his next film, Funky, but putting that aside, the actor is now hitting headlines for a whole new reason. In a recent video, the Telugu actor was seen joining the latest trend of viral Labubu dolls. Vishwak Sen gets papped with his Labubu doll Vishwak Sen was recently papped as he drove around town in his Mercedes. In the video captured by Kamlesh Nand, the actor's car can be seen having a Labubu doll dangling behind it. As the Labubu doll has become a massive fashion trend, the actor was seen sporting his blue-colored monster figure. Moreover, Viswak himself was spotted driving his suave vehicle, looking handsome in a red t-shirt. Watch Vishwak Sen's papped video here: What is a Labubu doll? Labubu dolls are the latest fashion trend that has slowly taken over the internet. These creepy-cute-looking dolls are being sported as a fashion statement by the celebrities. Many are using it on their bags, cars or just holding it. For those unaware, the figurines are charming monster dolls that stray away from the concept of traditional dolls we are all familiar with. Instead of being cute and adorable, these dolls take on a more scary look with pointy sharp teeth, mischievous eyes, yet a charismatic look. Similar to Pokémon cards, Labubu dolls come in blind boxes, with a consumer not knowing what it looks like until bought and opened. While the dolls were initially manufactured in 2019, it was in 2024 that they shot to popularity when K-Pop idol and BLACKPINK star Lisa was seen carrying one. Later on, international icons like Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, and David Beckham were also seen with their own collectible dolls. In contrast to usual figurines, Labubu mirrors the emotional and unhinged chaos that is settled within humans, making it a sensation amongst Gen-Z. Vishwak Sen's latest film Vishwak Sen was last seen playing the lead role in the Telugu-language action comedy Laila. The movie, directed by Ram Narayan, featured the story of Sonu, who disguises himself as a woman, Laila. The film, which is currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, was a critical and commercial failure upon release. Owing to the film's failure, the actor even penned a gratitude-filled apology note to the audience. Moving ahead, the actor has films like Funky and a sequel to Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi in the lineup.

Akanksha Sharma makes a bold fashion statement
Though her Telugu debut Laila opposite Vishwak Sen didn't set the box office on fire, actress Akanksha Sharma is grabbing headlines with her fierce sense of style. In a recent photoshoot, Akanksha ditched glitter for grit, stepping out in a sharply tailored pinstripe blazer dress that balanced power dressing with bold elegance. The oversized silhouette and plunging neckline brought a daring twist to the otherwise classic piece, while sheer black stockings and pointed stilettos added a touch of drama. The look exuded confidence—minimalist yet impactful, loud without being loud. Her styling choices further elevated the outfit. Akanksha kept it refined with soft waves, understated contour makeup, and minimal jewelry, allowing the ensemble to take centre stage. Shot against sleek marble interiors and elegant hallway backdrops, the visuals had the polish and poise of a luxury fashion editorial. More than just a fashion experiment, the look seems to reflect Akanksha's evolving persona—strong, unapologetic, and poised. With effortless poses and unforced confidence, the actress proved that making a statement doesn't alwaysrequire sequins—sometimes, all it takes is sharp tailoring and sharper intent.
