A friendly exchange between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during the G7 Summit in France has once again attracted widespread attention on social media, reviving discussions around the popular “Melodi” trend.
The interaction took place in Evian-les-Bains, where world leaders gathered to discuss major global issues, including support for Ukraine and other important diplomatic matters. A video of the brief encounter quickly went viral online, drawing millions of views and reactions from users around the world.
In the footage, Modi and Meloni are seen warmly greeting each other and sharing a handshake before joining other leaders for the official group photograph. Their relaxed and cheerful interaction was widely appreciated by social media users, who praised the friendly rapport between the two leaders.
During their conversation, Modi appeared to refer to their popularity on social media. In response, Meloni smiled and joked, saying, “Yes, we are the most famous couple on Instagram.” Her comment quickly gained attention online and reignited discussions about the “Melodi” nickname, a term created by combining the surnames of Modi and Meloni.
The latest moment comes shortly after another viral exchange between the two leaders in May. During Modi’s visit to Rome, he gifted Meloni a packet of India’s famous Melody candy, a gesture that many social media users viewed as a playful reference to the “Melodi” trend.
Meloni later shared the interaction on social media, thanking the Indian Prime Minister and posting a video of the two leaders laughing together. The post received significant engagement and further boosted the popularity of the viral nickname.
The recurring friendly exchanges between Modi and Meloni continue to generate interest online, with many users following their interactions and contributing to the ongoing “Melodi” trend across social media platforms.
