Samay Raina Dating Rumours – For the last few days, Samay Raina was in the news regarding his personal life. When Sharon Verma came as a panellist in ‘India’s Got Latent’ Season 2, the banter and chemistry between the two created hope in the hearts of the fans. People started making romantic edits of the two on social media, and rumours of dating spread like wildfire.
Now time has put an end to this. On Wednesday, he held an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on Instagram and asked fans to ask only genuine questions. A fan asked a direct question – Are you dating Sharon? Samay’s response was, “No, brother, it’s just the internet doing its job.”
How did these rumours arise?
Sharon Verma was previously a contestant in ‘India’s Got Talent’ Season 1. He grabbed a lot of headlines with his outspoken style and Bihari jokes. Now she returned as a panellist in Season 2. In the show, when Samay joked about his Bihari background, Sharon also retaliated by taking a dig at Samay’s Kashmiri background. Seeing this funny conversation between the two and their eye-to-eye banter, the fans felt that there was definitely something going on. Then there was a flood of edits from both of them, from Instagram reels to Twitter.

Medha Shankar’s name also linked
Sharon is not the only one with whom Samay’s name has been linked. There were also rumours of him dating the ’12th Fail’ fame actress Medha Shankar. Medha also appeared as a panellist on ‘India’s Got Latent 2 ‘, and Samay called her his “best friend” on the show. Even during the roast, he looked softer than others with Medha.
Apart from this, the two were seen together on a flight and at the Mumbai airport. The wall seen in one of Medha’s deleted posts was similar to the wall in a rap video of that time. These small things gave further fuel to the rumours.
But the thing to note is that neither Samay nor Medha have ever confirmed any relationship. Time itself has said about Medha that they are just good friends.
Kashmiri-Bihari joke created controversy
Another issue heated up amid dating rumours. Politics started over the jokes made on Kashmiri and Bihari backgrounds in the show. BJP MLA Ram Kadam made a sharp attack on time. He said, “There are some forces in the society who deliberately make controversial statements just for the sake of publicity. Kashmiri Pandits cannot be made fun of. One cannot deliberately do objectionable work and apologise later.”

Bihar Education Minister Mithilesh Tiwari also described these jokes as “breaking the country”. However, a Kashmiri Pandit from Jammu expressed a different opinion. He said that this is a comedy show, it should not be taken so seriously. “When you go to watch a comedy show, there are jokes. It shouldn’t be taken personally.”
So what is the truth at the moment?
Samay Raina has made it clear that he has no romantic relationship with Sharon Verma. He is also friends with Medha Shankar, nothing else. The rest of what’s going on on the Internet is just “the Internet doing its thing.”
