Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seen in a close-up shot, bowing his head and appearing to be emotionally overcome or crying while speaking at a podium.
This video is used to represent feelings of extreme sadness, grief, being overwhelmed, or mockingly used when someone is 'fake crying' or acting dramatic about a minor inconvenience.
The "Narendra Modi crying" clip originates from Narendra Modi and caught on because it captures heartbreak and dramatic sadness in a way that feels both specific and universally applicable. Internet users adopted it as shorthand for moments where the right words exist but the right tone doesn't — so you send the clip instead.
