Anand Mahindra’s Ghibli Moment Goes Off Track: ‘Sir, Your Bike’s Side Stand Is Out!’

Anand Mahindra is contemplating joining the 'Ghibli art' trend. One of the business tycoon's fans recently posted a Studio Ghibli-esque artwork of him on a scooter. The artwork was done in response to a post that hailed the Jawa 42 FJ as the Viewer's Choice Motorcycle of the Year at the Times Drive Auto Summit & Awards.

The Chairman of Mahindra Group responded to the image with a smiling face emoji and said, "I need to learn how to do this Ghibli stuff…

Netizens' Reactions

Responding to the tweet by Mahindra, a user on X wrote, "#Ghibli has made Anand Mahindra Sir a superhero. But please don't learn to Ghiblify so much, as OPEN AI servers are already loaded, and Sam Altman had to ask everyone to slow down so his team could get some rest." Another user contributed, "Hey, your side stand is still down. That could be hazardous while riding! Now it looks wonderful."

The *Ghibli Trend* refers to an increasing worldwide interest in Studio Ghibli movies, their aesthetics, and themes. It's no longer only about the films; this trend has extended to fashion, interior design, social media looks, and lifestyles.

The *Ghibli Trend* is an ongoing growing affection for the movies, artwork, and themes of Studio Ghibli. Films such as *Spirited Away* and *My Neighbor Totoro* share eternal tales with stunning visuals and a nostalgic feel that appeal to individuals of all ages. The trend has also influenced fashion, home decoration, social media, and lifestyles, encouraging slow living, appreciation of nature, and mindfulness.

Since Ghibli movies are now readily available on streaming sites, their soft, dreamy beauty attracts even more people. Their fans recreate famous Ghibli meals, dress in vintage-inspired outfits, and travel to actual locations that inspired the movies. On social media, the "Ghibli-core" hashtag features soft lighting, natural views, and a serene lifestyle. It is not just a trend in movies but a passion for things simple, a nostalgia for things past, and the beauty of the mundane.
