Artificial intelligence continues to blur the line between reality and imagination, and celebrities are increasingly experimenting with the technology for fun, creativity, and brand collaborations. Veteran actor Neena Gupta is the latest to jump on the AI trend, and her playful new avatar has quickly become a talking point on social media.
While the post is part of a promotional collaboration, it is Neena’s dramatically reimagined look — created using Meta AI — that has captured widespread attention and sparked laughter across Instagram.
A Bold New Look for 2026
Neena Gupta took to Instagram to share a carousel of three AI-generated images that instantly stood out. In the first image, she is seen performing yoga, but with strikingly exaggerated biceps and toned leg muscles that clearly signal a digitally enhanced transformation.
The second image features Neena in a lime yellow and white halter-neck dress, once again showcasing veiny, muscular arms that dominate the frame. The third slide continues the theme, with the actor dressed in a pink saree, paired with the same ultra-muscular avatar — a humorous contrast to her otherwise elegant styling.
Captioning the post, Neena wrote, “Namaskar, new avatar for 2026 ‘muscle mommy’ unlocked… thanks to Meta AI.” She also used the caption to explain how others could experiment with similar AI-generated images on the platform.
Celebrities React With Laughter and Love
The post quickly drew reactions from Neena Gupta’s friends and colleagues across the industry. Her close friend Anu Ranjan jokingly commented, “2 weeks we don’t meet…and tere ko kya ho gaya baby!”
Sunil Grover responded with a laughing “Ha Ha!”, while Dia Mirza dropped a laughing emoji. Elli AvrRam wrote “Fab,” and actors Delnaaz Irani, Sunita Rajwar, Amyra Dastur, and Sandipa Dharr reacted with emojis. Neena’s Panchayat co-star Faisal Malik commented, “Cool,” while Manasi Parekh added, “Hahaha, I literally did a double take.”
Fans Can’t Get Enough of the AI Avatar
As expected, fans were quick to flood the comments section with humorous takes. One user joked, “John Cena ❌ John Neena ✅,” while another wrote, “Neena ji! Nahiiii! You look very pretty the way you are.”
Others applauded her playful approach to technology, with comments like “You’re so swag, the embodiment of swag!” and “AI ka behtareen istemaal.” The mix of humour and admiration reflected how effortlessly Neena’s post struck a chord online.
When Technology Meets Self-Aware Humour
What makes Neena Gupta’s AI experiment stand out is not just the visual impact but her willingness to poke fun at herself while embracing new digital tools. At a time when AI-generated imagery often sparks concern or confusion, her light-hearted approach reframed the technology as a source of creativity and entertainment rather than spectacle.
Once again, Neena Gupta proves that age is no barrier to staying current — or having fun while doing it.
