By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 12 May 2026 12:34 PM ISTPrime Minister Narendra Modi recently made comments about gold purchases, and those words have now become a huge topic across social media. After he suggested that people should avoid buying gold for weddings for one year if possible, funny reels, memes and comedy videos started trending everywhere online.
The topic quickly became viral on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube Shorts. Many people started creating comedy content based on husband and wife conversations about gold shopping. These funny reels are now getting lakhs and even millions of views online.
In many viral videos, husbands are shown dancing happily in front of the TV after listening to Modi’s speech. Some creators are acting as if husbands finally got “freedom” from expensive gold shopping demands. In several reels, husbands are jokingly showing Modi’s speech to their wives and saying, “See, even Modi sir said no gold shopping now.”
Other videos show wives looking shocked while husbands celebrate like it is a festival. Content creators are also adding funny background music and comedy dialogues to make the videos more entertaining. Because of this, social media users are sharing these reels continuously.
Some men are posting comments like “Gold shopping cancelled this year” and “Finally someone spoke for husbands.” At the same time, women are also responding with equal comedy. Many reels show wives warning their husbands that after one year they will have to buy double the amount of gold. These videos are also becoming very popular online.
Even though social media is treating the topic in a funny way, experts say there is a serious economic reason behind Modi’s comments. India imports large amounts of crude oil and gold from other countries. When imports increase, more dollars go out of the country. This can create pressure on the Indian economy and also affect foreign exchange reserves.
Experts believe that reducing gold purchases for some time may help control unnecessary spending on imports. It may also support the value of the Indian rupee during difficult global economic conditions. Rising international crude oil prices are already creating pressure on many countries, including India.
However, internet users have completely turned this serious topic into entertainment. Reels showing husbands immediately playing Modi’s speech whenever their wives ask for gold are now trending heavily online. Some creators are even making short comedy skits based on wedding shopping discussions.
