Who is Kavya Mehra? Meet Indian AI influencer who might participate in Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 19
Bigg Boss fans, the wait is over! The controversial reality show, which has been a source of entertainment for many years now, is set to return to the screens from next month onwards. This time, it promises to stay longer and deliver even more than expected. The makers are reaching out to celebrities and approaching them to participate in Salman Khan's controversial show. But guess what, one contestant is already reportedly confirmed to be a part of Bigg Boss 19. It is Kavya Mehra. But who is she? Who is Kavya Mehra? Kavya Mehra is an AI Influencer from India created by the Collective Artists Network. She is not just a digital avatar of a human, but she is the first AI Mom. Kavya represents modern motherhood through her deep understanding of human experiences. Her content beautifully captures the multifaceted journey of motherhood, blending themes of cooking, family, life and personal well-being. The AI Influencer was created by gathering insights from real mothers in Collective's community. Due to this, her content resonates with Indian moms. But along with this, Kavya also endorses brands and creates lifestyle content ranging from traveling, makeup, clothing and more. According to the IANS report, Kavya Mehra's presence on Bigg Boss 19 will mark a new chapter in the show. A source told them, "To see an AI personality like Kavya on national television would mark a new chapter in how audiences interact with technology. While there has been a lot of news around the AI contestant, be it Kavya or Habubu, it's too early to confirm anything." Before AI Influencer Kavya Mehra was reported to be a part of Bigg Boss 19, there was news that Habubu, a robotic doll from the UAE, was confirmed to participate in Bigg Boss 19. India Forums had reported that the makers are set to introduce Habubu, the AI robot for the first time as a contestant. Habubu can even communicate fluently in seven languages, including Hindi, which adds to its intriguing persona. Amidst these ongoing reports, the makers haven't confirmed anything about Salman Khan -hosted Bigg Boss 19 contestants. However, reports suggest that the show is speculated to begin airing in mid-August. Pinkvilla has exclusively reported that Bigg Boss 19 will extend beyond the traditional three-month format, running for about 5.5 months. More details about this is still awaited.

Coldplay of Code: Meet Trilok, India's wild AI rock band that fuses mantras, machines and sounds human
India's newest music act doesn't breathe, doesn't sweat, and doesn't need a sound check. But it does chant, scream and strum—courtesy of artificial intelligence. Trilok , a full-fledged AI-powered rock band , has been launched by Collective Media Network , part of Collective Artists Network, as an experimental leap into the future of music, storytelling and digital fandom. Billed as a first-of-its-kind Indian AI band, Trilok blends spiritual themes and traditional mantras with modern rock , turning centuries-old ideas into edgy, high-energy performances designed entirely by machines—with human direction. It is a product of Collective's in-house AI innovation lab, which previously created virtual influencers such as Kavya Mehra and Radhika Subramaniam. But Trilok marks a different scale and ambition. 'Trilok is what happens when you let technology channel something deeper and express it through a traditional rock lens. It's India's sonic past reassembled for a future audience,' said Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and Group CEO of Collective Artists Network. 'This is a deeply personal project, it takes me back to my college band days. I just hope it hits listeners with the same kind of meaning and memory,' he added. This is no ambient music generator or background score tool. Trilok is designed to be heard, watched, streamed, memed and debated. The band's debut single, 'Achyutam Keshavam,' is out now across YouTube, Instagram, and major streaming platforms, accompanied by stylised visuals introducing the band's digital avatars . The visual identity, lyrics, vocals, and aesthetic choices are all AI-generated, based on spiritual motifs reimagined without sanctimony. The band strips ancient chants of their rigidity and repackages them into performance art with modern grit. It's both reverent and rebellious. Live Events For Subramaniam, the project isn't just a musical experiment—it's a statement of belief. 'We're not pretending Trilok isn't AI — that's the point,' he said. 'The bandmates are fully digital characters, each with their own identity, personality, and journey. We're building something that goes far beyond music. This is a new genre, a new storytelling format. I've always believed technology is a friend and not a foe and it should fuel creativity.' At its core, Trilok is Collective's way of combining AI, pop culture, and spiritual heritage into something that speaks to a generation fluent in both Instagram and introspection. According to Sudeep Lahiri, Head of Channels and Distribution at Collective Media Network, the band was conceived as a property that lives well beyond music. 'Trilok wasn't just created to drop music — it was built to spark discovery, community, and conversation across platforms,' Lahiri said. 'We approached this band like we would a pop-culture property that has character arcs, immersive content, and a strong distribution engine behind it. Every track, visual, and post is part of a larger universe we're shaping. We see Trilok not just as a band, but as a format that lives across music, story, and fandom.' While AI-generated music and digital bands have gained traction globally—think of Japan's Hatsune Miku or the synthetic voices of K-pop AI idols—Trilok is India's first attempt at merging cultural depth with digital performance. And rather than pretend to be human, it embraces its machine-made identity fully. Collective Media Network is betting that audiences will lean into this synthetic spirituality. 'Trilok is unapologetically performative,' said a company insider. 'It's about feeling something—even if that something was made by code.'
