Amitabh Bachchan is late to the 'labubu craze' party: Big B’s new car buddy wins over the Internet

Looks like even the Shahenshah couldn’t resist the charm of the internet’s latest obsession, Labubu! After every Bollywood actress proudly showed off their quirky Labubu dolls, Amitabh Bachchan has officially joined the fun. The veteran actor shared a short video on Instagram, revealing the now-famous doll dangling adorably in his car. “Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the Labubu. Now in my car,” he announced with his signature wit, clearly amused by his new travel companion. His post, loaded with hashtags like #LabubuWorld and #LabubuAddict, instantly caught fans’ attention, and many couldn’t believe that even Big B had given in to the trend.

How the Labubu Craze Took Over Bollywood

For those wondering what’s so special about this little creature, Labubu is a collectible art doll that blends cute and creepy in the most unique way. Originating from the world of designer toys, it became a social media phenomenon after celebrities started flaunting their own versions, some even turning them into fashion accessories. Soon, Labubu wasn’t just an “it-toy” for stars; it became a part of everyday life for fans, popping up in cars, homes, and workspaces. The craze has now crossed from Instagram aesthetics to pop culture status, and Amitabh’s latest post just sealed its spot in the mainstream.

Big B’s Birthday and Work Schedule

The post also arrived right after Amitabh Bachchan’s 83rd birthday celebrations. On October 11, the superstar stepped out of his residence, Jalsa, to wave and greet a sea of fans who gathered to wish him. It was a heartwarming sight with the megastar, smiling and thanking everyone who’s loved him for decades.

On the professional front, Big B continues to stay unstoppable. He was last seen in Vettaiyan alongside Rajinikanth and Kalki 2898 AD. Up next, he’s set to feature in Ribhu Dasgupta’s Section 84 and lend his iconic voice as the narrator in 120 Bahadur, starring Farhan Akhtar. Meanwhile, he continues to rule television as the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17.

Whether it’s setting trends, charming audiences, or keeping up with viral fads, Amitabh Bachchan proves yet again that age has nothing on his curiosity or his sense of fun.
