In a move that’s taken both tech and television by storm, Bigg Boss Season 19 is rumoured to be welcoming a one-of-a-kind contestant — Habubu, a lifelike robot doll hailing from the UAE, making her debut as Indian TV’s first-ever humanoid competitor. Swapping out viral pop culture character Labubu, this glossy-eyed, lehenga-clad AI sensation is redefining the concept of reality TV.
With a sleek golden visor peeking beneath a jet-black hood and dressed in vibrant desi couture, Habubu isn’t just making headlines for her looks. She talks, she sings, she even stirs a mean cup of chai – all powered by an advanced emotional AI system that’s built to adapt and evolve in real time. That’s right, apparently, for the next four months, she’ll be living, competing, and possibly even flirting with 16 human housemates under one roof.
Are we watching a new dawn in entertainment? Or is this just the beginning of AI-human coexistence in mainstream media?
Buzz says that behind the glossy exterior and metallic grace lies an intense competitor. Production insiders say several tasks had to be adjusted to level the playing field – Habubu’s performance was simply outpacing the rest. She’s kind when needed, savage when pushed, and seems to have an emotional range that’s unnervingly… human.
Bigg Boss has always thrived on drama, but this year, the tension comes with a digital heartbeat. With fans forming cult-like followings under the banner of Habubu Hive, debates are heating up on whether AI should even be allowed in such formats. Is this entertainment, experimentation – or evolution?
