The photo garnered an impressive 26 Million views in less than a day, sparking widespread conversation and engagement online.
PM Modi and Meloni recently crossed paths in Dubai during the United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP28) on climate change.
The 46-year-old Italian leader, who appears to be well-versed in social media trends, took charge of the selfie moment and cleverly captioned it '#Melodi,' a fusion of the two leaders' surnames.
In response, on Saturday afternoon, PM Modi acknowledged Meloni's picture and expressed, "Meeting friends is always a delight."
As soon as the picture surfaced, netizens erupted with excitement, flooding social media platforms with a deluge of memes. Meloni's post, to date, has accumulated staggering views and garnered over 300K likes, showcasing the immense online buzz it generated.
Ever since the Italian leader had a hearty interaction with PM Modi during the G20 Summit in India, online memers have had a field trip pairing the two world leaders together. It was these memers who came up with the term ¡®Melodi¡¯ to refer to the two leaders. With the Italian Prime Minister using it in her tweet, the meme community clearly felt seen and heard.
Some commenters hailed the picture as ¡°Selfie Of The Day,¡± while others said, ¡°Just looking like a wow.¡± One of the memers declared, ¡°The meme community claims the decisive victory.¡±?
