Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday shared a Ghibli-style animated video of himself on social media platform X, saying technology continues to surprise.

"That's my #ghibli style entry. Technology just doesn't stop surprising us pleasantly!" Fadnavis posted on X, tagging his wife Amruta as well as Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The video is in the distinctive animation style of Japan's famous Studio Ghibli.
