Parth Samthaan on working in CID
Parth Samthaan, who is making his return to television after five years, had earlier revealed his excitement about joining CID. Introducing himself as ACP Ayushman, Parth shared, “Introducing ACP Ayushman in the most Iconic, loved, and longest running show – CID !!! This show has always been an integral part of our childhood and Indian Television! The all-time famous dialogues as well as the officers becoming veterans or rather Legends (ACP Pradyuman, Daya & Abhijeet ), this show has seen it all, and to be a part is truly a blessing for me. Moreover, me doing a comeback to TV after 5 years, to be honest, CID was one show I never thought I would be a part of, but then, that’s life – always being unpredictable and mysterious and I always end up taking that unplanned route for myself, be it Kyy or Kasautii! So let’s begin this beautiful journey and crack some cases.”
'CID' remains one of Indian television’s most iconic shows.
