The buzz around Bigg Boss 19 is reaching new heights—and this time, it's about a contestant like no other. According to sources, the upcoming season of the Salman Khan-hosted reality show may introduce its first-ever non-human participant: an AI-powered robot doll from the UAE, named Habubu.
Who is Habubu?
Habubu isn’t just any ordinary doll—she’s a social media sensation from the UAE known for her lifelike design, expressive eyes, signature black hijab, and a golden mask. Designed with advanced conversational AI, emotional recognition, and domestic capabilities, Habubu reportedly understands and communicates in up to seven languages, including Hindi.
Instagram Tease Fuels Speculation
In a recent post on her official Instagram handle, Habubu hinted at her Indian TV debut, saying, "Ready for my Bigg Boss reality TV debut in India!" While there’s no official confirmation from the show’s creators yet, the teaser has sparked widespread curiosity online.
Managed by a Familiar Name
The AI doll is said to be managed by IFCM, the same UAE-based talent agency that previously represented former Bigg Boss contestant Abdu Rozik. If confirmed, Habubu’s entry would mark a groundbreaking move in Indian reality television, blurring the lines between entertainment and AI technology.
When Does Bigg Boss 19 Premiere?
Bigg Boss 19 is expected to launch in August 2025, with Salman Khan returning as the host. The superstar is set to shoot the first promo in the coming days. If Habubu’s participation is finalized, she could be a unique twist in this season’s format—combining human drama with artificial intelligence.
