Meet Parth Samthann, Taking Over CID After OG Shivaji Satam's Exit

The makers of the iconic television show CID recently announced the exit of Shivaji Satam, who played the beloved ACP Pradyuman. The character was written off in the latest episode, which also introduced a new lead — ACP Ayushmann.

Actor Parth Samthaan will take over as the new ACP,  stepping into the role and replacing Shivaji Satam in CID. In an interview with Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaan, Parth said, "It's a very big responsibility to fill such humongous shoes.
