Veteran actor Neena Gupta left her fans in splits after sharing a series of AI-generated images on Instagram that showed her sporting an unexpectedly muscular frame with bulging biceps. The playful post, created using Meta AI, showcased the actor embracing a bold and humorous transformation that quickly went viral.
In the first image, Neena is seen practising yoga at home, dressed in a sleeveless top, but it is her exaggerated, well-defined biceps that steal the spotlight. The following pictures feature her draped in elegant sarees, once again paired with the same exaggerated muscular arms, creating a striking and amusing contrast.
Captioning the post, Neena introduced her new look with trademark wit, calling it her “new avatar for 2026” and jokingly referring to herself as a “muscle mommy.” She credited Meta AI for the transformation and even encouraged followers to try it themselves by uploading their photos, using the “Restyle” feature, and prompting the tool to “make me muscular.”
Fans and fellow celebrities flooded the comments section with laughter and praise. One friend joked about being away for two weeks and returning to see such a dramatic change, while another quipped, “John Cena ❌ John Neena.” Actor Manasi Parekh admitted she had to do a double take, while several fans applauded Neena for her confidence and willingness to experiment.
Known for her versatility and fearless choices, Neena Gupta has built a career spanning decades with acclaimed performances in projects such as Saans, Badhaai Ho, Panchayat, and several others. She was last seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, where she played Kartik Aaryan’s mother.
Up next, Neena will appear alongside Sanjay Mishra in Vadh 2, directed by Jaspal Singh Sandhu. The film, positioned as a spiritual successor to Vadh, was showcased at the International Film Festival of India and is slated for release on February 6.
