Huma Qureshi's latest Instagram post has sent the internet into a frenzy, all thanks to her furry friend, Kishmish. The actress playfully exposed her dog as the unexpectedly adorable culprit behind the destruction of a beloved oversized Labubu doll, injecting her unique humor into the viral trend.
With a series of playful captions and snapshots capturing the "crime scene," Huma put her spin on the Labubu craze, demonstrating that even trendy toys aren't immune to Kishmish's fluffy wrath. The 'Double XL' actress shared a series of images, writing, "1. Does this dirty stuffed Penguin count as a #Labubu doll? 2. The bloodless wounds 3. The War of the Worlds 4. The Culprit (cute) Kishmish is the killer of all oversized #Labubu dolls #guiltyascharged #labubu #trending."
The Labubu craze has indeed swept the nation, captivating not just collectors but also celebrities. Many have joined in on the trend, sharing playful pictures and stories featuring the now-iconic dolls, which some find slightly eerie. A few days prior, Twinkle Khanna took to social media to share her thoughts on the growing popularity of Pop Mart's blind box collectibles, especially the highly sought-after Labubu series. With her trademark wit, the 'Mela' actress jokingly referred to Labubu dolls as her latest "platonic love," drawing from Plato's Symposium to explain how attachment to an idea or object feels safe, as they can't hurt you or leave—unless someone steals them, she quipped.
Labubu dolls, known for their quirky, Nordic-inspired design, have become a sensation, appearing as collectibles, accessories, and even adorning high-end designer bags. While they may seem like a recent fad, these trendy figures are part of a larger collection licensed by Pop Mart, a leading Chinese brand renowned for its extensive range of figurines and blind box toys. Labubu is just one of the many popular characters in Pop Mart's expanding universe, which continues to fascinate people worldwide.
Huma Qureshi's playful take on the Labubu trend, with Kishmish as the mischievous "killer," has resonated with many online, adding a lighthearted and relatable twist to the craze. It highlights the humorous side of pet ownership and the unpredictable nature of our furry companions. The post serves as a reminder that even viral trends can be subject to the playful antics of our beloved pets.
