In a time when quirky collectibles like the Labubu doll are sweeping through the digital world and dominating Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s wish lists, Pakistani actress and host Mishi Khan has stepped into the conversation and she isn’t holding back.

The Labubu doll, a strange-looking toy with spiky teeth, odd proportions, and an undeniably mischievous expression, has become the latest craze among social media users and influencers. Originally created by Pop Mart, the toy was once a luxury collectible with prices reaching PKR 7,000 to 35,000, depending on rarity and edition. But the wave of popularity has now led to a flood of counterfeit Labubus across local markets and online platforms in Pakistan — making them even more visible, especially on bags and accessories.

But not everyone is charmed by this peculiar figure.

Mishi Khan, known for her bold and unfiltered opinions, recently posted a video warning fans against the Labubu craze. “This Labubu trend, which people consider a status symbol, is a curse,” she asserted, adding that people are blindly buying into a fad that might be masking deeper, darker energies. “Have you even looked at it closely? Horrible teeth, spooky eyes — this doll is not cute, it’s creepy,” she added with emphasis.

She went on to claim that such toys could attract negative energy or even evil spirits, urging parents and collectors alike to think twice before jumping on the bandwagon. “Even if someone gave it to me for free, I wouldn’t hang this ugly thing on my bag,” she said bluntly. “Don’t waste your money on these Dajjali-looking dolls.”

Interestingly, Mishi’s strong stance seems to have struck a chord with many netizens. One user commented, “It’s a Satanic doll, I agree with Mishi.” Another chimed in, “Didn’t even know what a Labubu was — but now I’ve seen it, and it’s horrifying.”

While celebrities like Hania Aamir, Maya Ali, Juggun Kazim, and even Aiman Khan’s daughter have been seen proudly flaunting their Labubu dolls, Mishi Khan’s remarks have sparked a growing counter-conversation — one rooted in cultural sensitivity and spiritual caution.

Whether you love it or loathe it, the Labubu doll is no longer just a toy — it’s become a flashpoint for a wider debate about trends, identity, and what we welcome into our lives in the name of style.

Actress Sarwat Gilani took a firm stand against fellow artist Nadia Khan, calling out her recent wave of criticism against Pakistani actors who remained silent during the India-Pakistan political tensions. Sarwat’s response wasn’t just a defence of individuals—it was a plea for empathy, professionalism, and mutual respect within the entertainment fraternity.

Nadia Khan had publicly lashed out at several celebrities, accusing them of valuing their international image, YouTube numbers, and social media followings over patriotism. However, Sarwat saw Nadia’s statements as unnecessarily harsh and deeply unfair, particularly when aimed at celebrated figures like Fawad Khan.

Sarwat Gilani firmly stated, “Please forgive him. Fawad Khan was already committed to a project abroad—he was simply fulfilling his professional responsibilities. What actors do in their careers should not be up for public moral trials.”

She didn’t stop there. Sarwat directly addressed Nadia, with a composed but piercing reminder: “Nadia Khan, you also had your moments, your choices, your controversies. None of us have forgotten. But we never shouted at you or disrespected you publicly. So please don’t treat your peers as if they owe you an explanation or as if they’re your house staff.”

Highlighting the importance of dignity in public discourse, Sarwat added, “Senior artists have the power to uplift the industry with their words. Tearing others down helps no one. Critique is fine, but it must come with respect and wisdom.”

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah, known for speaking his mind without fear, has voiced strong support for Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh amid backlash in India over Sardaar Ji 3, which features Pakistani actress Hania Aamir.

In a recent Facebook post, Shah backed Diljit, making it clear that the actor was not responsible for the film’s casting decisions. “I STAND FIRMLY WITH DILJIT,” he wrote, calling out political attacks on Dosanjh. “The dirty tricks deptt of Jumla Party has been awaiting a chance to attack him… He agreed to the cast because his mind is not poisoned.”

He didn’t shy away from criticising rising hostility between India and Pakistan either. “What these goons want is to put an end to personal interaction between the people of India and Pakistan,” Shah said. “I have close relatives and some dear friends there, and no one can stop me from meeting them or sending them love.”

To those who tell him to “go to Pakistan,” Shah responded sharply: “GO TO KAILASA.”

Meanwhile, Sardaar Ji 3, co-produced by Gambhir Singh Sidhu, Manmord Sidhu, and Diljit Dosanjh, is smashing box office records in Pakistan. It became the highest first-day grosser for any Indian film in the country, earning PKR 3.5 crore and surpassing Salman Khan’s Sultan.

Starring Diljit as a ghost hunter, the horror-comedy also features Hania Aamir, Neeru Bajwa, Gulshan Grover, Jasmin Bajwa, and Pakistani actors Nasir Chinyoti, Saleem Albela, and Daniyal Khawar. With global earnings crossing PKR 36.6 crores, the film’s success is expected to continue.
