I would like to present an alternative solution as the one marked above didn’t work for me. This is how i did it, since i needed to keep the while loop and had to use get_sub_field();

Hope anyone can find it useful.

$flexible_row_number = 1;

//Count rows
$flexible_row_count = count( get_field("flexible_content_field_name") );
//Create random number out of number of rows. 
$flexible_row_rand = rand(1, $flexible_row_count);

// check if the flexible content field has rows of data
if( have_rows('flexible_row_flexible') ):

     // loop through the rows of data
    while ( have_rows('flexible_row_flexible') ) : the_row();

		//check if flexible row number equals random row number. 
		if ( $flexible_row_number == $flexible_row_rand ):
			if( get_row_layout() == "layout"):
			endif;
                        //If they do equal, add 1 to $flexible_row_number;
			$flexible_row_number++;
		else :
			//If they dont equal, add 1 to $flexible_row_number;
			$flexible_row_number++;
		endif;
	endwhile;
endif;
