The Reddit post carried a series of memes inspired by Nirmala Sitharaman, which extended to a wide range of creativity - it carried associations with a popular wrestler and also tweaked food items.
A video post was uploaded on the social media platform which listed the meme creations. It opened by showing 'Nirmala Sitha-ramen,' where her hair was edited and replaced with noodles.

Next, the user showed how he imagined Nimo Tai as a professional wrestler. A basic edit was made to morph the face of Nirmala Sitharaman with that of Roman Reigns. This version was termed by the creator as 'Nirmala Sitharoman.'
The meme creation didn't end there. There was more to it.
The visuals which popped up further showed images of the minister fitted into a bunch of unplucked custard apples, a sitar player, and a fierce cheetah. The titles of the memes were attributed respectively as Nirmala Sithaphal-raman, Nirmala Sitar-aman, and Nirmala Cheetah-raman.
