Comedian Samay Raina has finally responded to speculation about his relationship status after fans began linking him romantically with Sharon Verma. The rumours gained momentum following their playful interactions on India’s Got Latent 2.
When a follower directly asked Samay on Instagram whether he was dating Sharon, the comedian shared the question on his Story and gave a straightforward response: “No brother, just internet doing its thing.”
Samay Raina and Sharon Verma’s Viral Chemistry
Sharon Verma became widely recognised after appearing as a contestant on the first season of India’s Got Latent in 2024. Her stand-up performance, which included jokes about her Bihar background and her description of herself as a “weak independent woman,” quickly gained traction online.
She later returned for India’s Got Latent 2, but this time as a guest panellist. Sharing the panel with Samay Raina, Sharon’s quick humour and spontaneous exchanges with the comedian quickly became a highlight of the episode.
Clips featuring their banter spread across social media, with viewers praising their chemistry. However, the growing online attention also sparked speculation that their equation might extend beyond the show.
Neither Sharon nor Samay had previously addressed the dating rumours. Samay’s recent Instagram response now makes his position clear.
Why Samay Raina and Medha Shankr Are Also Linked
Interestingly, Sharon Verma isn’t the only celebrity with whom Samay Raina has been romantically linked by fans.
For several months, social media users have also speculated about a possible relationship between Samay and actress Medha Shankr, who is best known for portraying Shraddha Joshi in 12th Fail.
Medha recently appeared on India’s Got Latent 2 as a panellist alongside names including Varun Dhawan, Sharon Verma and Nishant Tanwar.
During a magician segment involving contestant Kabir Sharma, the discussion shifted towards Samay’s close friends. After Balraj Singh Ghai—owner of The Habitat and a close friend and business associate of Samay—was mentioned, Kabir asked Samay to identify his “sabse achha dost” on the panel.
Samay’s immediate answer was Medha.
The response quickly caught viewers’ attention, particularly because speculation about the comedian and actress has been circulating for some time. Despite the repeated rumours and public appearances together, neither Samay nor Medha has officially confirmed that they are in a relationship.
Samay Raina and Medha Shankr Dating Rumours Continue
The dating speculation involving Samay and Medha has extended beyond their appearances on the comedy show.
The two have reportedly been seen at several of the same public events. In June, they were both photographed among guests at the Anandam premiere in Mumbai, which once again prompted conversations about their relationship status.
Another viral clip from the same month added fuel to the speculation. Reports suggested that Samay and Medha were at the same venue and appeared to walk separately after noticing photographers.
More recently, the rumours resurfaced after a Filmfare report claimed that the two were spotted travelling on the same flight before being seen at Mumbai Airport.
Samay Raina’s Relationship Status Remains Unconfirmed
While Samay has now clearly denied dating Sharon Verma, speculation surrounding his equation with Medha Shankr continues online.
For now, there has been no official confirmation from either Samay Raina or Medha Shankr regarding the nature of their relationship. As social media continues to closely follow their public appearances and interactions, fans will likely keep looking for clues about the comedian’s personal life.
For the moment, Samay’s message about Sharon is simple: the dating rumours appear to be “just internet doing its thing.”
