With as many as 80 percent Indians consuming news from social media, and the use of media showing no signs of levelling off, news consumption in the country also seems to be gaining a lot of popularity, owing to the eventful year that we have had so far!

While hot stuff constantly comes and goes, there are a few personalities who broke all records when it came to doing the rounds of social media and being the talk of the town for the longest time this year.

We have the list of top 10 newsmakers of 2018 as per a Yahoo report, and while some of them are on it for obvious reasons, a few of them might leave you shook, especially the last name here.
