Medha Shankr and Samay Raina spaked dating rumours earlier this year.

Samay Raina calls Medha Shankr his friend

Magician Kabir Sharma was performing a set on the episode when he took Samay’s phone and put it in an envelope. He took three envelopes and put the phone in one of them. He hit them with a hammer for every ‘wrong’ answer he got.

Kabir then mentioned Balraj Singh Ghai and said, “Aapke favourite friend nahi aaye aaj, Balraj. But aaj aapke panel mai se aapka sabse accha dost kaun hai? (Your favourite friend, Balraj, isn’t here today. Who’s your closest friend in the panel today?)” Samay named Medha, and she was asked to pick an envelope.

He later also picked her to receive a ‘gift’ from the magician during the next trick. From a car, a MacBook, $1000, and an iPhone, Medha won a hug from Kabir. Samay and Varun looked surprised at that, but the actor said she didn’t mind. The comedian even commented, “Ye gift tere liye tha (This was a gift to you).” Samay then turned to Medha and said, “A hug. We won literally the worst thing,” but she called it a ‘pretty good’ hug.

Samay also picked Varun as the ‘smartest’ among them all because he was ‘student of the year’, making everyone laugh. He pulled his leg about Border 2.

Rumours of Samay Raina dating Medha Shankr

Samay and Medha first sparked rumours when a video of them leaving an event surfaced in June this year. The rumours continued as they were spotted attending the same events in July. They were also spotted together at the airport recently. The duo has not addressed these rumours, but it looks like Samay made it clear on the episode that Medha was ‘just a friend’.

India’s Got Latent ran into controversy last year when an episode featuring Ranveer Allahbadia, Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchalani, and Jaspeet Singh garnered backlash. FIRs were filed and legal action taken after an incest joke made on the episode received flak on social media. The show was taken off YouTube, and Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
