Bigg Boss
franchise globally.
During the latest episode, host
Mohanlal
unveiled the unique addition to the house, a four-legged robot dog that he proudly called his "watchdog" of the season. The robotic visitor stunned the audience as it performed a series of tricks on stage, including walking, making a 'Namaste', sitting, and even interacting with Mohanlal, leaving everyone in awe.
According to the host, the robodog is set to enter the Bigg Boss house and will play a crucial role this season.
It will be able to move freely across all areas of the house, capturing both visuals and sound. But it's not just surveillance, the robodog is also expected to entertain housemates and participate in day-to-day interactions.
Interestingly, Mohanlal has opened the doors to viewer participation by inviting fans to suggest a name for the robo. The best name will be officially assigned to the robot, making it an even more engaging element for the audience.

What Is This Robo Dog?
The robodog is a high-tech innovation equipped with a microphone, speaker, built-in voice recognition module, and interactive voice functionality. Shaped like a dog, it can perform a range of tasks such as shaking hands, jumping, creating heart gestures, and making traditional gestures like 'Namaste'.
A similar robotic dog, named Champak, made waves earlier this year during IPL 2025. Champak became a fan favorite as it roamed the stadiums, captured behind-the-scenes moments, interacted with players, and even took part in the coin toss during matches.
It quickly became a symbol of technological innovation for IPL.

The robodog's integration into the Bigg Boss house promises a tech-forward twist. It can deliver task letters, monitor contestants with a unique point of view, and bring a fresh layer of interactivity to the show. This revolutionary addition not only enhances the viewing experience but also brings a futuristic charm to the season.

Los Angeles, Aug 14 (IANS) Hollywood star Jason Momoa revealed that he almost drowned while out surfing in Hawaii back in 2007. Hollywood star Jason Momoa revealed that he almost drowned while out surfing in Hawaii back in 2007. The 'Aquaman' actor was navigating Pe'ahi, the biggest surf break in Maui, which is nicknamed Jaws, during a lengthy paddle through Hawaiian waters in 2007 when his leg rope snapped amid high wind, though he was "fine" at first, despite the waves crashing down on him, reports Battling the elements Talking about the incident on the Smartless podcast, he said: "I was doing this paddle, we went in at Jaws. We paddled like 13 miles down the coast. You're kind of almost a mile offshore, and then my leash snapped. We're about seven miles into it and my leash snapped, and it's so windy on Maui." The star said he was trained pretty well and so he was fine. "I took quite a few on the head. They're pretty big, like 10-foot Hawaiian waves. But I'm probably half a mile at that point offshore... There's all this water that pulls out of a channel there, (and) you just get hit with these waves." The 'Aquaman' star got "stuck" and his body began to "give up" on him while he waited to be rescued. He continued: "I was stuck in this crazy spot, which is probably the outer reef and unknown to me. I was really on the outer reef and they couldn't see me. I had my paddle and I was waving it and they couldn't see me, and the waves were so big. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Discover the Secret to a Lush Garden with These 15 Unbelievable Hacks!

Day6 kicks off their 10th anniversary party with new 'The DECADE' album trailer
DAY6 10th Anniversary K-pop band Day6 has officially kicked off their 10th anniversary celebrations, marking a full decade since their debut in 2015. Known for blending heartfelt lyrics with impeccable musicality, the group launched their special anniversary project 'The DECADE of us' on August 4th. This project will lead up to the release of their much-awaited 4th full-length album, 'The DECADE', which has been teased as a love letter to their journey and fans alike. Album trailer full of symbolism and nostalgia On August 13th, JYP Entertainment dropped the two-minute trailer across the band's social platforms. It opens with a striking scene: an elderly conductor with white hair moves his baton slowly in silence, keeping time with a metronome. This is followed by a sudden shift in mood-band members are shown laughing like carefree children, surrounded by party guests in a lively, almost cinematic setting. The contrast captures both their innocence during the early days and the maturity they've gained over ten years. Many fans are already dissecting each frame, raising speculations about hidden Easter eggs that might connect to the band's past songs or iconic moments. First album in six years This new release is extra special because it marks the band's first regular full-length album in about five years and eleven months. Their last such album, 'The Book of Us: Entropy', came out in October 2019, receiving both domestic and global praise. Over the last few years, Day6 members have been involved in individual projects, military service, and songwriting, which only heightened fans' expectations. 'The DECADE' is expected to present a rich musical spectrum, reaffirming their reputation as a "trust-and-listen" band ( "믿듣데") -a title given by fans for consistently high-quality releases. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eupatoria: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Celebration concerts To commemorate the milestone, Day6 will hold special concerts on August 30 and 31 at the Goyang Sports Complex.
