PM Narendra Modi reacts to viral ‘Melodi’ memes on Nikhil Kamath’s podcast: ‘Woh toh chalta rehta hai’ - The Indian Express

Prime Minister Narendra Modi made his podcast debut on Nikhil Kamath’s “People” podcast on January 10, engaging in a lively and candid conversation. The discussion touched on various aspects of the PM’s life, including his eating habits and his early days in public service.
Towards the end of the chat, Kamath brought up a light-hearted topic about the viral “Melodi memes” featuring Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. With a playful tone, Kamath remarked, “Mera favourite food, agar aap poochein, toh pizza hai aur pizza Italy se hai aur log kehte hain ki aapko Internet pe Italy ke baare mei bohot kuch milta hai, aap iske baare mei kuch kehna chahe ge” (If you ask me, my favorite food is pizza, and pizza is from Italy. People say there’s a lot about you and Italy on the Internet. Would you like to comment on it?).
PM Modi took a moment to respond, and Kamath said, “Aap ne yeh memes nahi dekhi?” (Haven’t you seen these memes?). Modi, with a smile, brushed off the question saying, “Woh toh chalta rehta hai” (That’s just how things go). He further shared that he isn’t much of a foodie and simply enjoys whatever is served to him during his travels abroad.

PM Modi also shared an interesting personal titbit: he struggles to decide what to order when presented with a menu. “I won’t be able to choose what to eat if someone hands me a menu. I’m not into food,” he said.

Shankar’s Game Changer starring Ram Charan is a film that showcases the director’s signature style of instant justice and larger-than-life heroes. However, the film suffers from a lack of focus and coherence, with too many subplots and characters. Despite impressive performances and technical aspects, the film falls short of being a true game changer.
