The internet is abuzz with the Ghibli image trend since March 27. Social media users have flocked to various AI tools and portals, trying their hand at converting their images into Ghibli-style art. Not just users, even celebrities are captivated by this latest trend.

Several fan pages dedicated to celebrities have created Ghibli-style images of their favorite stars, including Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Kiara Advani, Sidharth Malhotra and more.

Recently, a Ghibli studio-style image of Ranbir Kapoor, along with his daughter Raha Kapoor and wife Alia Bhatt, went viral on social media.

A fan account of Ranbir Kapoor generated a Ghibli studio-style photo of the actor with his daughter, Raha. The photo is from Christmas 2024, when Ranbir, Alia, and their daughter attended the annual lunch at Kunal Kapoor's residence.

Additionally, a fan created a Ghibli-style animation of a photo of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor from Aadar Jain's recent wedding ceremony.

The next celebrities to join the Ghibli-style trend are Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha. The actress took to Instagram on Saturday to share five Ghibli-style photos with her husband and AAP leader Raghav Chadha.

Parineeti transformed her wedding photos into Ghibli-style images. In one photo, Raghav is seen kissing her forehead. Another depicts her in a pink-colored suit on Karva Chauth, walking hand-in-hand with Raghav. In a third picture, Raghav can be seen praying alongside his wife.

Raghav Chadha also joined the trend, sharing a Ghibli-style photo of himself and Parineeti at a stadium. Captioning the post, he wrote, "We have also been bitten by the Ghibli bug."

Soon-to-be mom Kiara Advani took to social media to share an Instagram post featuring an edited still from Shershaah.
