Samay Raina and Medha Shankr spark dating rumours with cosy Diwali picture; is the comedian making their relationship Instagram-official?
Stand-up comedian and internet personality Samay Raina has sparked fresh speculation about his relationship with actress Medha Shankr after sharing a festive picture featuring the two together. The photograph, posted on his Instagram Stories during Diwali, has caught the attention of social media users, with many interpreting it as a subtle confirmation of their rumoured relationship.
In the picture, Samay and Medha are seen posing together in traditional festive attire against a warmly decorated backdrop featuring fairy lights and Diwali-inspired elements. While Samay opted for a cream-coloured kurta, Medha wore a red festive anarkali. Adding to the romantic undertone of the photograph, Samay accompanied it with a track by Arctic Monkeys but refrained from adding any caption or explanation.
The understated post quickly made its way across fan pages, with social media users describing it as a possible ‘soft launch’ of their relationship. Although neither has addressed the speculation, the picture has further fuelled conversations about their rumoured romance.
Interestingly, the Diwali upload comes shortly after Samay found himself at the centre of another relationship-related conversation on Koffee With Karan Season 9. During a celebrity caller segment on the show, actor Varun Dhawan dialled the comedian while appearing as a guest. Unaware that he was on speakerphone, Samay casually answered the call and revealed what he was doing, saying, “Actually, I am chilling with my girlfriend.”
The unexpected response caught Varun and host Karan Johar by surprise. Varun burst into laughter before informing Samay that he was speaking on Koffee With Karan. Karan subsequently joined the conversation and attempted to get the comedian to reveal his girlfriend’s identity. However, Samay chose not to disclose any names and laughed off the exchange.
The moment nevertheless prompted online speculation, with several social media users linking the mystery girlfriend to Medha. The two had reportedly been spotted together at airport terminals and private social gatherings earlier this year, further adding to the curiosity surrounding their equation.
While Samay and Medha have not officially confirmed their relationship, their latest festive photograph has given fans another reason to speculate. Samay continues to command attention through his comedy and streaming projects, including India’s Got Latent, while Medha has been earning recognition for her screen performances. For now, the duo appears to be keeping details of their personal lives away from the spotlight.
