Samay Raina casually mentioned his girlfriend during a phone call with Varun Dhawan on Koffee With Karan Season 9, seemingly unaware that he was on speaker. Here's what happened.

Samay Raina may have just given fans an unexpected update about his personal life, and he did not even realise he was doing it. During a phone call with Varun Dhawan on Koffee With Karan Season 9, the comedian casually mentioned that he was spending time with his girlfriend. What he seemingly did not know was that the conversation was happening on speaker and being recorded for the show.
The moment unfolded during a fun game on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan, hosted by Karan Johar. Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor were the guests, with Arjun Kapoor making a special appearance towards the end.
As part of the game, Karan challenged the actors to call celebrities from the film industry, pull a small prank on them and get them to say, “Hey Karan, it's me” to score a point.

Varun wasted little time picking up his phone and calling comedian Samay Raina. However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when Samay casually revealed what he was doing.
“Actually, I am chilling with my girlfriend,” he told Varun.
The revelation appeared to catch the show's participants by surprise, particularly as Samay seemed unaware that his call was part of a televised game. Varun then let him in on the situation, explaining that he was on Koffee With Karan Season 9.
Karan Johar subsequently took over the conversation and wasted no time turning the unexpected confession into another moment of entertainment.

The exchange has since become a talking point, with viewers curious about the identity of the woman the comedian referred to.
Who is Samay Raina's girlfriend?
Samay Raina has largely kept his personal life away from public attention. Over time, there have been social media speculations linking him to actress Medha Shankr, known for her role in '12th Fail', as well as comedian Sharon Verma.
However, neither of these dating rumours should be treated as confirmation of his relationship. Samay has not publicly identified the woman he referred to during the phone call.
His casual remark on Koffee With Karan has nevertheless sparked fresh curiosity about his relationship status. Whether he chooses to share more details remains to be seen.
