MUMBAI: In celebration of 48 years of Barbie, Mattel Toys Pvt Ltd and Make-A-Wish Foundation came together to make the wish of an ardent Barbie fan come true.

Six year old Pooja in a city hospital was visited by Mattel and was gifted a whole range of Barbie branded dolls and toy sets including a Barbie set, a tent house, a kitchen set, Barbie's bridal ornaments, a Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses; dress and lots more.

The inspiration for Barbie came to Mattel's co-founder Ruth Handler in the 1950s as she watched her young daughter, Barbara, (from whom Barbie got her name), playing with paper dolls. In 1959, Barbie was introduced as a teenage fashion model. Since then, Barbie has kept up with fashion, entertainment and teenage lifestyle trends.
