Why "Melodi" is always a sensation?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently arrived in Rome on the final leg of his five-nation tour. During the visit, he gifted a packet of 'Parle Melody' chocolates to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. PM Meloni shared a selfie video of the interaction on her X handle. In the video, she smiles and says PM Modi brought her a very nice candy gift. PM Modi then holds up the packet and exclaims, "Melody!" before both leaders laugh. 

The term "Melodi" is a social media portmanteau combining the surnames Meloni and Modi. It first trended after PM Meloni previously posted a video captioning it, "Hello from the Melodi team." PM Modi's gift directly responded to this ongoing online trend. This lighthearted interaction occurred alongside official bilateral discussions.
The internet's favorite diplomatic camaraderie again made a roaring comeback at the G7 summit in France, proving once again why the "Melodi" phenomenon remains a global social media sensation.
