A new AI trend is sweeping Instagram and X, with couples and creators turning to Google Gemini’s Nano Banana Labs to generate retro-inspired portraits that look straight out of an old Bollywood reel. From saree-clad elegance to cinematic lighting, these AI-generated images are being hailed as the ultimate way to capture timeless romance.
Grainy textures, moody shadows, and vintage aesthetics dominate the edits, giving couples the feel of a 1940s–1990s film frame. The trend, first popularized by lifestyle blogger @StyleListings, took off after she shared a list of Gemini prompts designed to transform ordinary photos into cinematic love stories.

Some of the most shared ideas include:
- Walking glance-back shot – A woman in an off-white saree with her partner holding her pallu against a rustic wooden door.
