The “Gemini Nano Banana AI Saree” trend, powered by Google’s Gemini AI image generator, has gained significant popularity on social media. Using the 2.5 Flash Image model, users are transforming their selfies into 3D figurines inspired by the retro Bollywood aesthetic of the 1990s. These figurines are often depicted in elegant sarees, such as flowing chiffon, polka-dot patterns, or black party-wear styles, reminiscent of the glamour associated with actresses like Madhuri Dixit. Following the creation of these 3D figurines and videos, many are now inquiring about the possibility of converting these images into an anime style.
To generate your own images for free, users can log on to the Gemini 2.5 Flash Image (Nano Banana) portal via a web browser. It is essential to have a clear, high-quality photo ready for upload. Prompts are key to achieving specific results. For instance, a prompt for a ‘Classic Polka-Dot Chiffon Saree’ could be: “Using Nano Banana, convert this photo into a realistic 3D figurine of a woman in a translucent white polka-dot chiffon saree, draped elegantly with a fitted blouse. Exact facial features, serene smile, small pink rose tucked in loose wavy hair. Golden-hour lighting, soft retro grain, 90s Bollywood poster style with a dreamy park background. High-res, detailed fabric folds, no cartoon style.” Similarly, prompts can be crafted for ‘Dramatic Black Party-Wear Saree’ and ‘Vibrant Banarasi Saree in Cinematic Glory’ looks, ensuring the inclusion of key phrases like ‘Using Nano Banana,’ ‘realistic 3D figurine,’ and ‘exact face match’ while specifying ‘no cartoon’ to preserve the desired retro realism.
Currently, there is no available option to transform these 3D figurines into anime through either free or paid methods. However, reports suggest that Google is actively working on this feature, which may become available in the near future.
