Several of Meloni’s other high-performing Instagram posts also feature Narendra Modi, reflecting moments from bilateral

meetings and international summits involving the two leaders.

One of the most viewed clips showed PM Modi and Meloni sharing a light-hearted interaction on the sidelines of global events, reviving online references to the “Melodi” trend — a nickname coined by internet users combining Meloni and Modi after previous viral photos and videos of the pair.

Another widely shared post captured Meloni welcoming Modi during international meetings, with social media users reacting to the leaders’ informal exchanges and cordial rapport.

Meloni has built a strong digital presence since taking office, using social media to share diplomatic engagements, domestic policy announcements and behind-the-scenes moments. Her Instagram account has increasingly become a tool for projecting both political messaging and personal branding.

The latest viral success underscores how world leaders are using short-form content and social media platforms to reach audiences far beyond traditional political communication.
