Samay Raina is currently basking in the success of India’s Got Latent Season 2. The first episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2 dropped last week, wherein Alia Bhatt and Sharvari were the guests on the show. The show has clocked over millions of views.

Amid his professional success and Samay’s comeback, his personal life is also grabbing headlines. Several media reports claim that comedian Samay Raina and 12th Fail actor Medha Shankr are dating.

Are Samay Raina and Medha Shankr dating?

The rumours have been fuelled by their recent public appearance, combined with previous sightings and ongoing social media interactions. Social media has concluded that they are more than just friends. However, neither of them has publicly responded to the rumours.

A clip is going viral that shows Medha and Samay posing together.

The Instagram page wrote, “Guys, Samay Raina and Medha Shankar are dating. They were spotted together, and the moment they saw the paparazzi, they split up. They’ve been seen together on multiple occasions now. What do you all think?”

The post also included a video showing the two at the same location. Although both were seen walking separately in the footage, many social media users pointed out that this was not the first occasion on which they had been spotted at the same event.

Their previous appearances together, along with light-hearted interactions on social media, have only added to the ongoing discussion, with comment sections filled with users referring to them as a potential “new favourite couple.”

However, a Reddit post claims that Medha and Samay stay in the same building and are just friends.

The post read, “I attended Samay’s live show in Mumbai, where he clarified that people were saying he and Medha should date, but he is too insecure to date an actress because they do intimate scenes with other actors. From what I know, Medha has done two kissing scenes in both her movies already, and she even has some intimate bed scenes where she is famously handcuffing the actor in her latest movie.”

Many netizens reacted to the post and said that they aren’t dating, but the photos of them together have added fuel to the speculations growing on social media.

A user wrote, “I had attended the same show. Samay clearly mentioned he is not interested in dating any actresses.”

Another said, “Are you guys believing it? Samay will openly talk about the relationship like this, that I don’t wanna be a cuck? OP is just here for attention. Grow up, guys. Samay would never talk about this.”

Who Is Medha Shankr?

Medha Shankr is an Indian actor known for her work in Hindi cinema. She began her acting career with the British miniseries Beecham House before taking on supporting roles in films. Her breakthrough performance came with the critically acclaimed biographical drama 12th Fail, which brought her widespread recognition.

She appeared in Ginny Weds Sunny 2, the 2026 Hindi-language romantic comedy written and directed by Prasshant Jha. Produced by Soundrya Production and Zee Studios, the film stars Avinash Tiwary alongside Medha Shankr and serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2020 release Ginny Weds Sunny.
