Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi gains about 1 million new followers on Instagram overnight following the posting of a selfie video, according to multiple reports. The surge in followers is described as rapid, occurring soon after the video is shared on the platform. The posts highlight that the increase comes within a short time frame and note that Instagram follower counts move quickly in response to widely viewed content. The reports do not provide additional details on the video’s subject matter beyond it being a selfie video, nor do they cite any official statements from the Prime Minister’s office or Instagram. Overall, the coverage focuses on the scale and speed of the follower increase and treats the event as an example of how social media posts can drive immediate audience growth. None of the sources dispute the figure, but they also do not independently verify metrics beyond what is shown in public follower counts. The story therefore centers on the follower jump tied to the Instagram video rather than on broader policy or campaign developments.
