Meghan Markle Interview Desi Memes: As Ricky Gervais would vouch, great comedy comes in times of some very serious life events. Many social media users took the opportunity to reimagine the bombshell interview given by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
As Oprah Winfrey questioned the Duke and Duchess of Sussex about their struggles with the royal family, the couple revealed a lot of secrets. Meghan Markle opened about being suicidal, the royals raising concerns about her then-unborn son Archie's skin colour and many more revelations were made during the interview. As much as the interview touched the hearts of people and in a way pulled the curtain on the regressive practices going on in the royal household, Indians found a lot of things common.
The drama serials on Indian television tend to over dramatise family disputes and over the years Ekta Kapoor serials have become one of the greatest source of memes for netizens. The close-ups, the specials effects really zooming on the faces and the overly dramatic background score that keeps the daily soaps' audience on the edge of their seats. When someone added the same elements to the Oprah interview, the results were unimaginably hilarious. There is hardly any surprise on why such a meme would work, after all, there was suspense, highly anticipated revelations, a possible villain, a wrong couple, a Prince who left his family for his wife and kid.
When Oprah asked the couple if they were silent during the past or "were silenced" the Duke and Duchess took there time to answer the question and this where the Indian masala came in. Check this video out.
Another video doing rounds on social media shows the Queen bad-mouthing Meghan Markle in Punjabi. As the Queen sits in her office and speaks about something completely unrelated to 'megxit', someone edited her voice out and had a voice-over of a Punjabi mother practically cursing her daughter-in-law for taking her son away to Canada and ruining the family and her reputation.
