While neither has confirmed a relationship, their recent Instagram interactions and multiple appearances together have left fans wondering if Bollywood has found its newest rumoured couple.
With every new appearance, the buzz around Samay Raina and Medha Shankr seems to be getting louder.
The stand-up comedian and the ‘12th Fail’ actor have once again fuelled dating rumours after they were recently spotted together in Mumbai. Videos and photos from the outing quickly made their way across social media, leaving fans wondering whether the two are simply close friends or if there's something more.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time the duo has sparked speculation.
Over the past few months, Samay and Medha have been seen together on multiple occasions, and eagle-eyed fans have been keeping track of every interaction. Their latest spotting has only added another chapter to the ongoing conversation online.
Adding to the curiosity are Samay's recent Instagram Stories featuring Medha.
In one post, he jokingly captioned a picture, "12th fail with liver fail," a humorous play on Medha's breakout film ‘12th Fail’. In another story, he referred to her as "printing engineer with 12th fail," another light-hearted caption that quickly caught fans' attention.
While the posts were clearly playful, they have only encouraged fans to read between the lines.
Social media is now filled with comments from users wondering if the two are Bollywood's newest rumoured couple. Some believe their chemistry is too obvious to ignore, while others feel the friendship is being overanalysed simply because they have been seen together more than once.
So, are Samay Raina and Medha Shankr actually dating?
For now, there is no official confirmation.
Neither Samay nor Medha has publicly addressed the rumours or confirmed that they are in a relationship. Despite the growing chatter online, everything remains purely speculative at this point.
The rumours also come at a busy time for Samay professionally. The comedian recently returned with the new season of India's Got Latent, which has generated significant buzz online and brought him back into the spotlight.
As interest in both their personal and professional lives continues to grow, fans are likely to keep watching for more clues. Until either Samay or Medha chooses to speak about the rumours, however, the speculation remains exactly that: speculation.
Whether it's just a close friendship or the beginning of a new celebrity romance, only time will tell. For now, the internet seems happy playing detective.
