For the past few months, the internet has been completely obsessed with the rumoured romance between stand-up comedian Samay Raina and 12th Fail actress Medha Shankr. The speculation hit an absolute peak this week when a viral Reddit post claimed that the two had either already tied the knot in a secret ceremony or were planning a grand wedding in December 2026.
With the internet going into an absolute frenzy over the alleged wedding bells, the duo has finally broken their silence. In true comedic fashion, Samay Raina and Medha Shankr have addressed the rumours head-on, hilariously putting the speculation to rest. Here is a complete breakdown of the viral Reddit post, how the rumoured couple reacted, and everything you need to know!
The Viral Reddit Post and Marriage Rumours
The intense marriage speculation began when an anonymous user took to Reddit, claiming to have insider information about the couple’s relationship status.
The unnamed user, asserting that they were close to Samay Raina’s family, wrote: “I’m very close to Samay Raina’s family, and after speaking to his mother yesterday, I can say that Samay Raina and Medha Shankr are planning to get married this December. For now, they’re both enjoying their vacation, but Samay wants to marry Medha as soon as possible”.
Adding fuel to the fire, another wild rumour surfaced online claiming that the duo had actually gotten married two months ago in a highly private ceremony in Bandra, Mumbai, managing to keep the entire event hidden from the public. Fans immediately started connecting the dots, analyzing their social media posts and alleged shared vacation pictures from Switzerland.
“Sorry, Will Have To Postpone”: Samay and Medha React
As the rumours spiraled out of control, Samay Raina decided it was time to step in—and he did so with his signature wit. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the India’s Got Latent host firmly but playfully shut down the December wedding claims.
Samay shared a screenshot of the news reports and joked that his December is already fully booked with his ongoing India comedy tour, leaving no time for a wedding. Tagging Medha Shankr in the story, he cheekily wrote, “Sorry we will have to postpone”. Making the update even funnier, he added the classic Bollywood song “Jhooth Bole Kauwa Kaate” in the background to emphasize that the reports were completely fabricated.
Medha Shankr was quick to join the banter. The actress reshared Samay’s story on her own Instagram account, dropping multiple laughing emojis, proving that the two are taking the wild internet theories in their stride.
The ‘India’s Got Latent’ Connection
While the duo has effectively squashed the marriage rumours, their relationship status remains a hot topic of discussion. Fans first started pairing them up after spotting their undeniable chemistry and banter during Medha’s highly popular appearance on Samay’s reality show, India’s Got Latent.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Samay has had to address dating rumours surrounding his show’s panelists. Just last month, the comedian had to clarify that he was not dating contestant and fellow comedian Sharon Verma, stating that the internet was simply making up its own narratives.
For now, it is clear that there are no wedding bells ringing for Samay and Medha this December. As the actress continues to bask in the success of 12th Fail and Samay dominates the digital space with India’s Got Latent Season 2, fans will just have to settle for their fun social media banter!
