Late Bollywood actress Sridevi drew a lot of unwanted attention in last few days. The yesteryear actress was found dead in her hotel room in Dubai, on February 24. The lady superstar’s death saw a lot of conspiracy theories prop up in no time and the media frenzy around it only worsened the situation. People on social media criticised the mainstream media for its haphazard reporting on the matter. Also, trending in the latest news were Justin Trudeau, Pakistan Super League (PSL), Apple Inc., and former England Captain Naseer Hussain.
A day after Canada Prime Minister Trudeau along with his family left the Indian shores, his visit was still trending on social media. Not only that, people across the border did try to compare PSL with the Indian Premier League (IPL) and hence were the center of attraction too.
There were so many other topics that were recently trending on social media. However, we bring to you hilarious takes on the trending topics on social media. At the time, when everyone’s neck-deep in the serious news environment, we at LatestLY, bring to you a list of hilarious takes on the same:

Sridevi's death, on February 24, has sent the entire media bandwagon in a frenzied state since then. Also, the 'bathtub' has been more in news than Sridevi herself. With all the condolence messages reading 'Rest In Peace', it makes us wonder will we now please let her Rest In Peace?
2. Naseer Hussain... or Putin?

With all the paparazzi going bonkers over the facts around the death of Sridevi, Junior Bachchan had this to say. Somewhere, Divya Bharti would be happy!

Justin Trudeau and his family members paid a short visit to India, last week, and were seen sporting traditional Indian attires throughout. Justin Trudeau Jr. matched a pose from Aamir Khan's hit movie Rang De Basanti, where he played the role of Chandra Shekhar Azad in the movie-plot.
7. Indians have no chill!
So Steve Woz says Indians lack creativity. There’s a reason why Steve Jobs got rid of this dolt earlier in the life of @Apple : and as for our creativity: he needs to spend a lifetime understanding Jugaad.
— SUHEL SETH (@suhelseth) February 27, 2018
Just as when Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak commented that Indians lacked creativity, people in India did not take it lightly. The above tweet is an example of what many tweeted on their social media account.
We hope that these hilarious memes made you giggle as much as it did to us. Have a good day!
