Bigg Boss 19: Lata Sabharwal and Ashish Vidyarthi Approached, AI Robot Habubu Joins as Contestant
Mumbai, July 2025:
The excitement about Bigg Boss 19 is now getting hotter and hotter! Producers are said to begin approaching celebs for the next season. And now, a popular Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai face has reportedly been approached to be part of the show.
Bigg Boss has always been one of India’s most-loved reality shows. It remains, however, immensely popular even as it remains the focus of controversy. We have witnessed 18 successful seasons on television and 3 editions on OTT. Needless to say, expectations for Season 19 are through the roof.
Recently, the news of a tiff between the producer’s production house and the channel left fans shocked, with most speculating that Bigg Boss 19, Bigg Boss OTT 4, and Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 would all be scrapped. But, now it looks like all is well in the world of Bigg Boss 19!
Yes, that perennial favorite reality TV show is gearing up for a spectacular return. Reportedly, the makers have already started getting in touch with celebrities and for all those who’ve been eagerly waiting for it can now heave a sigh of relief as this time around, it is only known faces who’ll enter the house — no social media influencers and YouTubers will be a part of it.
🧑🎤 Celebs Who Were Supposedly Approached For Bigg Boss 19
Here’s a look at some of the names that have reportedly been reached out to:
- Mamta Kulkarni
- Khushi Mukherjee
- Faisal Shaikh (aka Mr. Faisu)

- Tanushree Dutta
- Khushi Dubey

- Faisal Khan
- Ram Kapoor
- Sharad Malhotra
- Raj Kundra
- Gaurav Taneja
- Paras Kalnawat
- Shashank Vyas
But it’s not the final list, it’s worth noting. Only at the grand premiere will the final cast be unveiled.
🌟 Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Actor Upcoming?
According to an exclusive report by TellyChakkar, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai fame actress Lata Sabharwal has been offered to participate in Bigg Boss 19. Lata has recently come in news for her personal life – she has reportedly got divorced with her husband Sanjeev Seth. Coincidentally, the two enacted a couple in the show Yeh Rishta as well and were known as Rajshri and Vishambhar Maheshwari among the fans.
🎭 Ashish Vidyarthi Finalized as Contestant for The Traitors?
Other than Lata, it’s been heard that The Traitors actor Ashish Vidyarthi has been roped in for the show. That being said, nothing has been made official as of yet. As per the norm, the official roster of competitors will be revealed during the series’ premiere.
🤖 Bigg Boss 19 Adds a Special Contestant: An AI Robot Named ‘Habubu’
But for the debut of the new season, the show has something special up its sleeve — none other than UAE’s first interactive AI Emirati robot doll, Habubu, as a contestant!
This AI companion looks like a humanoid, 21-year-old with human facial features and it can cook, sing, dance, play, and even feel emotions, much like any other human. With such skills, we can expect her to give human competitors a real run for their money — both literally and figuratively!
🕹️ Bigg Boss 19 Theme & Premiere Date…
This time, the theme is “Rewind” with some old Bigg Boss components returning:
- Secret Room
- Traditional Voting System
- Original Concept-Based Tasks
At first, there was speculation the show would begin August 3, but now The Screen is reporting the potential new start date is August 29 or 30, 2025.
Another interesting twist? It is likely to go on for five months — this season of Bigg Boss will be the longest ever.
But, host Salman Khan will host the show just for three months. After that, the host will be a big name like Karan Johar, Anil Kapoor, or Farah Khan, for instance.
📺 Final Thoughts
Bigg Boss 19 is proving to be the most tumultuous series yet – combining star-studded chaos, real-world scandal, and even a bit of artificial intelligence.
Be it Lata Sabharwal’s post-divorce quest, Ashish Vidyarthi’s fierce reality TV comeback, or Habubu’s futuristic presence, we can lay a bet that the new season will certainly deliver big entertainment, bigger emotions, and the biggest twists yet.
Keep watching this space for more of the confirmed updates as we draw closer to the irresistible launch!
