Just like the other months of this year, October 2025 too didn’t disappoint social media. It witnessed some quirky and exciting trends that left the internet laughing, vibing, and engaging in debates and discussions. One of the biggest highlights of October 2025 — especially for Desi netizens — was the unexpected crossover of Bill Gates and Smriti Irani on the iconic Indian show “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.” However, this wasn’t the only viral moment; several other trends kept netizens glued to their phones. As today is October 29, you still have two days left to hop on the October 2025 viral trends and have some fun. Check them out below: 1) “Ranking My Top 3 Worst Experiences” In this trend, users are making videos where they share their top three worst experiences in life with the hook line, “Ranking my top 3 worst experiences.” The twist? All three “different” experiences are actually the same one repeated! The trend has become a hilarious way for people to express frustration and sarcasm — and many netizens find it highly relatable. 2) Shakira – “Addicted To You” Transformation Trend This transformation trend has taken over October. In the videos, people sprinkle some powder on their hands, swipe their nose across it, and as they move their nose from left to right — boom! — a dramatic transformation appears, revealing them in glamorous outfits. The background song for these videos is Shakira’s 2013 hit “Addicted to You.” The catchy beat and smooth transitions have made this one of the month’s most viral and visually satisfying trends. 3) “Waah Shampy Waah” – The Controversial Trend “Waah Shampy Waah” is a trend that has divided the internet. It originated from a viral video that showed a woman allegedly catching her husband with another woman. In the clip, the shocked wife starts recording the confrontation while her husband asks her not to film the “other woman.” Surprised by her husband’s attempt to protect the other woman, the wife sarcastically says, “Waah Shampy waah!” What followed was predictable — netizens turned the emotional moment into a meme. Soon, people began using the phrase “Waah Shampy waah” in skits and reels, sparking debates about whether such sensitive content should ever become meme material. 4) The Biggest Crossover Ever – Bill Gates and Smriti Irani Yes, you read that right! Bill Gates appeared on the legendary Indian TV show “Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi,” alongside Smriti Irani — the show’s lead actress and former Union Minister of Education. The crossover left the internet in disbelief, and the clips spread like wildfire online. Fans called it “the crossover no one saw coming.” 5) Virat Kohli Back on the Field October also brought joy to cricket fans as Virat Kohli made his much-awaited return to the field after a long break. Following his earlier announcement of retirement from two formats of Test cricket (except ODIs), fans were thrilled to see him back during the India vs Australia ODI series. Social media was flooded with emotional posts and excitement over his comeback — truly a heartwarming highlight for Desis everywhere. From emotional comebacks to hilarious viral moments, October 2025 truly had it all. The month proved once again that the internet never sleeps — it laughs, debates, and celebrates everything from celebrity crossovers to the quirkiest trends. As we head into November, one thing’s for sure: social media will only get wilder, and netizens will always find a way to turn even the most unexpected moments into viral sensations.
