Salman Khan-hosted reality show Bigg Boss 19 is gearing up for an electrifying return this August, and if the latest buzz is anything to go by, fans are in for a season unlike any other. With drama and entertainment already expected, the show is now set to introduce a contestant who isn't even human. Yes, you read that right!
Bigg Boss 19, might just be welcoming Habubu, a viral AI doll from the UAE, on Indian reality TV. A latest report by India Forums suggests that this UAE's first interactive AI robot doll will be entering the Bigg Boss house as one of the 17 contestants, marking the first time a non-human has joined the reality franchise.
Who is Habubu?
Habubu isn't just any robotic creation. Designed in the UAE, she has become an online sensation for her strikingly human-like features, emotional intelligence, and ability to hold meaningful conversations in up to seven languages, including Hindi.
According to the International Federation for Cultural Management (IFCM), Habubu's AI is equipped with advanced tech that enables her to respond to emotions, assist in household tasks, and adapt to social settings.
While Habubu is being dubbed the replacement for the popular Labubu toy trend, she is far more refined. With expressive eyes, traditional Arabic attire, and a warm personality that has already won over social media, she's no ordinary doll. And yes, she'll be specially reprogrammed for the Bigg Boss environment to ensure the interactions remain entertaining.
According to media reports, Habubu is managed by the same UAE-based agency, IFCM, that previously represented Bigg Boss 16 breakout star Abdu Rozik, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this crossover of tech and television.
While there's no official announcement of Habubu's entry to Big Boss 19, the internet is already buzzing with anticipation.
