‘Don’t eat pizza’: Perplexity CEO responds to Nikhil Kamath’s cheeky question about PM Modi’s Italy connection
Perplexity AI CEO Aravind Srinivas jumped on the recently viral video of Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath asking PM Modi about the ‘Melodi’ memes.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently did his first ever podcast with Zerodha's Nikhil Kamath. While many moments from the over 2 hour long conversation went viral, it was one particularly 15 second clip on Italy that has been making the rounds on social media.
In the viral clip, Kamath cleverly tells PM Modi that his favourite food is pizza which is from Italy and asks the Prime Minister about his knowledge of all matters related to the country.
“My favourite food is pizza. And pizza is from Italy. And people say you know a lot about Italy. Would you like to say something about that?” Kamath asked PM Modi.
“Haven’t you seen these memes?” Kamath asks while referring to ‘Melodi’ memes.
“Nahi, vo toh chalta rehta hai. Main usmein apna time kharab nahi karta (No, all that keeps happening. I don’t waste my time in that,” the Prime Minister replied
PM Modi and ‘Melodi’ memes:
While Prime Minister Narendra Modi is known for adding a personal touch to diplomatic relations with hugs and warm handshakes, his meetings with Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni have often struck a chord on social media. 'Melodi' memes only seem to grow with each successive meeting between the two leaders and the Italian PM also used the phrase while making a video with PM Modi, saying "Hello from the Melodi team".
