A new trend on the internet is Melodi, which is the fusion of Narendra Modi and Giorgia Meloni. It began when Meloni shared a selfie of her alongside Modi with the hashtag #melodi X on Friday. On his part, Modi re-tweeted the message and added, “I always enjoy meeting friends.”
The selfie was taken alongside the COP28 climate summit in Dubai where the two leaders also held talks. In march, they announced joint declarations on a range of areas of cooperation that have been leading Modi and Meloni to develop close friendship and strategic partnership between their countries since then.
Modi’s selfie with Meloni led to a huge number of memes and jokes on social media, especially in India, where people edited videos of their interactions during the G20 summit in New Delhi in September, presenting a funny view of them as a couple in a show.
Melodi has become the latest obsession by the internet, and the selfie of Modi and Meloni has broken the internet. This trend shows the power of social media to create viral sensations and even humour out of the mundane. It also demonstrates public interest and desire to know what world leaders are like in their personal and professional lives.
Netizens couldn’t keep their calm. One user wrote
‘When 2 people are in love.
They wear same colour.
They use same phone.
They shy.’
Another one wrote, ‘So Beautiful, So elegant, Just looking like a WOW!!!
Reunion of PM Modi and Georgia Meloni. #Melodi – A Never Ending Bond’
