'Melodi' meme turns into a Modi-Meloni saree in Lucknow

A saree featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is being promoted at a Lucknow shop, giving the viral "Melodi" meme a surprising physical form. The trend began with their 2023 selfie and gained fresh momentum after PM Modi gifted Meloni Melody toffees in 2026. There is no evidence the saree is officially endorsed by either leader.
