Meet “Melodi.”
That’s the couple name given to Indian and Italian prime ministers Narendra Modi and Giorgia Meloni, whose apparent chemistry and rapport at the G20 summit over the weekend generated a flood of memes on Indian social media.
Across Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit, users shared videos of Modi and Meloni interacting at the summit in India, which were edited to make the two nationalist leaders seem like a couple. Some have millions of views and hundreds of thousands of likes on Instagram.
Italian PM Giorgia Meloni and PM Narendra Modi broke the internet with their ‘Melodi’ selfie post during the COP 28 summit in Dubai. Sharing a selfie of their meeting on X (formerly Twitter), Meloni wrote, ‘Good friends at COP28’. The Italian PM also added #Melodi to the post.
