Social media is currently obsessed with the Google Gemini Nano Banana AI Saree trend, which lets users turn their regular selfies into dramatic, 90s-style Bollywood portraits. The edits, powered by Google’s Gemini Nano Banana image tool, feature flowing chiffon sarees, retro grainy filters, and warm golden-hour lighting — recreating the classic glamour of Hindi cinema. From polka dots to black party-wear and soft floral prints, users are experimenting with all kinds of nostalgic saree looks using clever AI prompts.
But not everyone is impressed by this digital wave. Shantanu Naidu — the well-known “millennial manager” and close aide of legendary industrialist Ratan Tata — had a witty response to the trend. Known for his lighthearted takes on social media, Naidu poked fun at people flooding their feeds with AI-generated saree pictures, questioning why they need artificial intelligence for something they already own.
"Tum log India me hai. America mein nahi hai. India! Land of the saree. Tumhare kapaat mein at least 15 saree hai. Itna lazy ho gaya tum… AI ko generate karne ko bola jo kapda tumhare kapaat mein," Naidu joked which roughly translates to: “You live in India, not America. This is the land of the saree. You probably have at least 15 sarees in your wardrobe! You’ve become so lazy that you’re asking AI to generate the very clothes sitting in your cupboard!”
In a tongue-in-cheek suggestion, he urged people to ditch AI portraits and simply wear their real sarees instead. “You look more beautiful in the originals,” he quipped, encouraging people to just dress up, click a photo, and enjoy the moment.
Naidu even took the joke further, saying that using AI to create saree photos made less sense than asking it to put him in a picture with his dog — when the dog is right next to him. “Just sit with your dog and take a picture!” he said, ending his playful rant.
