'Melodi' Buzz Returns as Modi, Meloni Share Light Moment at G7
A brief exchange between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the G7 Summit goes viral on social media.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again grabbed social media attention with a light-hearted exchange on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in France, reviving the popular 'Melodi' trend.
A viral video showed the two leaders warmly greeting each other and shaking hands moments before joining fellow world leaders, including Donald Trump, for a group photograph. While the audio was not entirely clear, PM Modi appeared to refer to their popularity on social media. Responding with a smile, Meloni reportedly said, "Yes, we are the most famous couple on Instagram."
The interaction quickly reignited the 'Melodi' buzz online, a nickname coined by social media users by combining the names of Meloni and Modi. The term gained popularity following their friendly exchanges and selfies at previous international events.
The moment came during the G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, where leaders discussed key global issues, reaffirmed support for Ukraine, and welcomed the recent breakthrough agreement between the United States and Iran aimed at reducing tensions in the Middle East.
Despite the serious diplomatic agenda, the brief Modi-Meloni interaction emerged as one of the most talked-about moments from the summit, drawing widespread reactions and memes across social media platforms.
