I’m sure the year 2018 must’ve sped like a jumbo jet for most of you, with so many bizarre yet hilarious incidents taking place in India.
Whether it was Beyonce performing at Isha Ambani’s wedding or UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath changing names of multiple cities, the 2018 calendar was very unusual for us, but however, proved very generous for the desi meme industry.
Let’s have a look at some of the trendiest memes of the year, shall we?
JANUARY
The year began with a bang with the most awaited movie of the year, Padmavat hitting the theaters in January. But what followed was a series of hilarious memes and trolls.

FEBRUARY
Who can forget the South Indian girl who became the national crush of the country on Valentine’s Day? Yes, we’re talking about none other than Priya Prakash Varrier whose famous wink from her movie trailer made her a YouTube sensation overnight.
But apart from fame, the actress also got to be at the center of many hilarious meme videos.

APRIL
We’re all aware about Yogi Ji’s love for renaming cities and places, but let’s have a look at the hilarious memes that shook the media during this time-
MAY
Well, this is my favorite one! Yes, I’m talking about the Chai lover of India, the one who should actually be heading the promotion campaigns for TATA and Red Label.
So Hello fraands, memes dekhlo –

JUNE
Honestly, for this, a line is enough for its introduction – ‘Our Memes Are Our Memes, None Of Your Memes’.
JULY
The most classic memes have to be the ones from Sacred Games, a show that indeed changed the game of Indian web series. Whether it’s Sartaj or Gaitonde, we surely can’t have enough of them.

AUGUST
Who can forget the iconic moment when Rahul Gandhi hugged our dearest PM in the Parliament and became the center of a series of trolls and memes (as if he wasn’t already)?

SEPTEMBER
It was surely a rare sight for India when Anushka Sharma featured in Sui Dhaga, all clad in a middle-class saari with a pallu on her head. Her scenes of emotional outburst in the movie made headlines and Mrs. Kohli got heavily trolled on Twitter.
OCTOBER
Mr. Shashi Tharoor, better known as a ‘chalti firti firangi dictionary’ by millennials, has often made headlines in the media for the “farrago” of his vocabulary.
Whether you follow him on Twitter or not, you just cannot ignore his usage of long and unnecessary words that have many times forced people to seek help from Google. (Remember the time when the word Floccinaucinihilipilification took the media by a storm?)
NOVEMBER
As DeepVeer took to Twitter and announced their wedding date, the media went in a frenzy. As people decided which Sabyasachi lehenga Ranveer would choose for himself, they also posted many memes trolling the lovebirds.
DECEMBER
YES! We saved the best for the last.
Whether it was Beyonce performing live at Isha Ambani’s wedding or the Ambanis themselves dancing to the tune of the GUJJU song, the last wedding of the wedding wave of 2018 surely surpassed the previous ones.
Anant Ambani’s speech was a cherry on top, wasn’t it? Also, Mrs. Clinton, I really hope you enjoyed your visit to the big fat Indian wedding and are eagerly looking forward to Isha’s baby shower like all of us are (for the hilarious memes, you guys!).
