Samay Raina jokes about wedding plans; says December tour forces a delay

Comedian Samay Raina and actor Medha Shankr have been the subject of dating speculation for months, but the pair have now publicly denied any romantic link. After being spotted together at several events and appearing on Samay’s show “India’s Got Latent,” rumours of a relationship began to circulate, and a recent Reddit post even claimed the couple was planning a December wedding in 2026.

In a playful Instagram post on Sunday, Raina announced that he would be marrying Shankr in December, only to add that his “India Tour” would force a postponement. He set the message to Lata Mangeshkar’s classic “Jhooth Bole Kauva Kate,” and the caption read, “December mein toh mera India Tour hai, Sorry Medha will have to postpone.” Shankr replied with laughing emojis, while her own post featured a picture of a baby cow on a bed and the line “Me scrolling past all the baseless wedding rumours like,” accompanied by a clip of “Kiya Kiya” from the film *Welcome*.

The couple’s public appearances have fueled the gossip. They were seen partying together, posing for photos, and Shankr later appeared as a panelist on the second season of *India’s Got Latent*. Fans also spotted similar backgrounds in their vacation photos, adding to the speculation. Despite the buzz, neither Raina nor Shankr has commented further on the rumours.

The Reddit post that sparked the wedding speculation claimed that a source close to Raina’s family had spoken to his mother and confirmed that the two were planning to tie the knot in December. The post also mentioned that the pair were currently on vacation together. Raina’s light‑hearted response and Shankr’s dismissive reply suggest that the story is unfounded.

Looking ahead, Shankr is set to star in an untitled detective comedy backed by Laxman Utekar, alongside Sunny Kaushal and Nimrat Kaur. Raina, meanwhile, is busy with the second season of *India’s Got Latent*, which returned after controversy in the first season. The new season features panelists such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bhuvan Bam, and casting director Mukesh.
