2018 has been a good year for viral videos and challenges. So we decided to end the year by trying to get Mumbaikars to recreate some of the most viral challenges and videos of the year.
The Hand Swap Challenge
It was trending on Musical.ly and no one can really tell the origins of this challenge. But beware, the hand swap challenge is more difficult than it looks.
Nose Finger Cross Challenge
It’s this really old challenge, where you put your index finger on both sides of your nose and magically switch the fingers. This challenge became famous on Musical.ly and people have been trying it for a long time now. Here’s a video that can teach you how it’s done.
Dele Alli Challenge
The Tottenham star, Dele Alli’s salute has taken social media by storm with a host of celebrities, footballers and thousands of fans sharing their interpretations of it. It started as he celebrated his goal on the opening day of the new Premier League season against Newcastle and now, there’s no stopping this trend.
Fortnite Floss Dance
Fortnite is an online video game which launched in 2017 but their dance moves went viral in this year. One of the most popular moves is the ‘Floss.’ You can learn how to do it in our video. It’s very simple!
Priya Varrier’s Wink
19-year-old Malayalam actor Priya Prakash Varrier, who shot to fame following her 'wink song' “Manikya Malaraya Poovi...” from the film Oru Adaar Love, was also the most searched personality on Google in India. We made people try and recreate that wink.
‘Hello friends, chai pee lo’ also deserves to be in this list, but you don’t really need a tutorial on how you could re-create that, do you?
