Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s now-viral video of gifting Melody toffees to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has crossed 100 million views on social media within just a few hours of being shared by Meloni, marking a significant online milestone.
The video is being seen as a record-breaking moment and could soon surpass Modi’s earlier Jhargram Jhalmuri clip, which reached 100 million views within 24 hours.
In the widely shared clip, Modi is seen presenting a packet of Melody toffees to Meloni, who enthusiastically describes it as a “very, very good toffee.” The interaction further highlights the warm and often-discussed chemistry between the two leaders.
Previous Modi–Meloni moments have also gained widespread attention online, including their meetings during the COP28 in Dubai in 2023, the G20 Summit in Delhi in 2023, and the G7 Summit in Canada in 2025.
The popularity of the video also reflects the strong social media presence of both leaders. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently crossed 100 million followers on Instagram, becoming the first serving world leader and politician to reach the milestone. Meloni has around six million followers on the platform.
On X, Modi has over 106.8 million followers, making him the world’s most-followed serving leader on the platform. Globally, he ranks behind Elon Musk, Barack Obama and Cristiano Ronaldo in overall followers.
