Samay Raina Confirms He Has a Girlfriend on Koffee With Karan 9
Samay Raina said he is 'chilling with my girlfriend' during a Koffee With Karan 9 call, reviving relationship chatter without naming anyone.
Samay Raina kept things characteristically casual on Koffee With Karan season 9, but one unscripted phone call has reignited a long-running question about his personal life.
The call that started the chatter
During a game on the episode, Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor had to call someone and get them to say “Hi Karan.” Varun dialled Samay and began teasing him about the buzz around his name. Samay stayed unfazed. He first replied, “Kuch na kuch aata rehta hai, bhai,” and then delivered the line fans are now quoting: “At present, I am chilling with my girlfriend.”
Karan Johar, listening in, saw an opening. He reminded Samay he was on Koffee With Karan and said, “See, this is how you should be on Koffee With Karan; now tell me more about your girlfriend.” Samay did not take the bait, and Varun soon ended the call.
The dating rumours that came before
The comment lands because Samay has been linked to actor Medha Shankr in the past, especially after she appeared on India’s Got Latent 2. December wedding rumours had also circulated, and Samay shut them down with characteristic sarcasm, saying his December is booked with an India tour. Medha responded with laughing emojis, and both have denied dating.
- Samay confirmed he has a girlfriend on the episode.
- He did not reveal her name or any personal details.
- He and Medha Shankr have both denied past dating rumours.
Why the moment travels
Koffee With Karan’s phone-call segments work because the person on the other end is caught off-guard. The target has no time to craft a polished answer, and audiences read the reaction as genuine. Samay’s relaxed confession gave the internet exactly what it looks for: a new fact with plenty of room for questions. His refusal to overshare — playful but firm — is consistent with how he has handled speculation before.
What comes next
For now, the only confirmed fact is that Samay says he is in a relationship. He has not named his girlfriend, and no further details have been offered. Fans will likely watch his next public appearances and post-episode conversations for clues, but the reveal remains firmly on his terms. Koffee With Karan, meanwhile, gets another talking point that will outlast the episode.
