Stand-up comedian Samay Raina finally addresses the dating rumors with fellow comedian Sharon Verma after their playful banter on India’s Got Latent Season 2 went viral. Internet speculation has been at an all-time high regarding the relationship status of popular comedian Samay Raina. Following recent episodes of his hit YouTube show, India’s Got Latent Season 2, fans began linking him to fellow comedian and guest panelist Sharon Verma. However, Samay has finally put the rumors to rest.
The Instagram AMA That Cleared the Air
The clarification came during an “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) session Samay hosted on his Instagram account on Wednesday. After prompting his followers to send in “genuine questions only,” one curious fan took the opportunity to ask directly: “Are you dating Sharon?”
Sharing the question on his Instagram Story, Samay gave a straightforward and clear response: “No brother, just internet doing its thing.”
This simple denial confirms that fans and viewers were simply reading too much into the pair’s on-screen comedic chemistry.

How Did the Rumors Start?
The dating speculation gained momentum after Sharon Verma appeared as a guest panelist on the second season of India’s Got Latent. Sharon, who first rose to fame as a contestant in the show’s inaugural season in 2024 with her viral stand-up set about being a “weak independent woman” from Bihar, returned to share the stage with Samay. During the episodes, the two comedians engaged in quick-witted, playful banter.
Their back-and-forth exchanges—which included sharp and sometimes controversial jokes about their respective Kashmiri and Bihari backgrounds—quickly generated viral clips and romantic fan edits across social media platforms. While this chemistry was meant for entertainment, it led many to wonder if a real-life romance was brewing behind the scenes.
The Medha Shankr Connection
Interestingly, Sharon Verma isn’t the only celebrity Samay Raina has been romantically linked to recently. The comedian has also been the subject of dating rumors involving 12th Fail actress Medha Shankr. The speculation around Samay and Medha intensified when she also appeared on the India’s Got Latent 2 panel alongside Sharon.
During a segment featuring a magician, Samay was asked to name his “sabse achha dost” (best friend) on the panel, and he immediately chose Medha. While this fueled further curiosity, neither Samay nor Medha has confirmed any romantic relationship.
Despite the constant buzz around his personal life and a few controversies surrounding the show’s edgy roast-comedy format, Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent Season 2 continues to pull in massive viewership numbers. As for the dating rumors, it seems Samay is content letting his comedy do the talking while brushing off the internet’s matchmaking attempts.
