Believe it or not but Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone weren't the most searched celebrity names on Google this year. Yes, it's quite shocking and we bet you folks are scratching your heads to find out the name who beat them at it. Okay, we can give you a hint before you give up eventually. She was an overnight sensation who grabbed headlines with a mere song or should we say a simple gesture. Still didn't get it? Well, the name is none other than Priya Prakash Varrier. Yea, the wink sensation as she's referred to these days. So go ahead and pinch yourself if you still can't gulp down this big news. Nora Fatehi’s Dilbar Was 2018’s Most Googled Song in India! Of Course, It Was!

In a list that's released by Google of the top 5 celebrities that were most searched in 2018, Priya tops the list followed by our Videsi jiju, Nick Jonas. Yes, the American singer secured the second position while Sapna Choudhary came in third. Can you believe that? Sapna was able to beat the likes of an international star like Priyanka Chopra! Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar's 2.0 Beats Avengers Infinity War, Race 3 to be The Most Googled Movie in India in 2018; Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2 Takes Second Spot.

While PeeCee was the fourth most searched celebrity, Anand Ahuja was quick to follow her and bag the fifth position. Shockingly, Deepika Padukone's name was nowhere in the list of Top 5 and we wonder if Sonam Kapoor is happy for her beau or sad that she couldn't make it to the list. With Deepika's wedding making all the headlines right from the beginning of this year, we expected to read her name in this coveted list but guess, the readers and viewers weren't curious enough to read or search about her enough.
