CID: Fans React to Parth Samthaan Joining the Show After ACP Pradyuman’s Exit
Popular actor Parth Samthaan is all set to join the iconic crime show CID as the new ACP named Anushman. This news comes shortly after the emotional end of ACP Pradyuman’s story, played by Shivaji Satam for over two decades.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The announcement of Parth’s entry has received mixed reactions online. While many fans are happy to see Parth back on screen, others are still upset about ACP Pradyuman’s exit. Shivaji Satam had been a part of CID for more than 20 years, and for many viewers, the show felt incomplete without him.
One fan posted on social media,
“Parth Samthaan is super cute, but casting him as the new ACP? A senior to Daya and Abhijeet? He’ll look like a kid next to them!”
Another wrote,
“After 27 years of playing ACP Pradyuman, Shivaji Satam’s exit is hard to accept. Parth is talented, but some roles are just too big to fill.”
Parth Samthaan Clears the Confusion
There was some confusion earlier about Parth replacing Shivaji Satam as ACP Pradyuman, but Parth cleared the air in an interview with ABP. He said he is not replacing Shivaji Satam’s character but is coming in as a new ACP named Anushman.
ACP Pradyuman’s Emotional Exit
In the recent episode of CID, ACP Pradyuman’s character was shown dying in a bomb blast planned by his enemy, Barboza. This tragic twist left his loyal team members, Daya and Abhijeet, heartbroken.
CID’s Grand Comeback
CID originally aired on Sony TV and ran successfully for 20 years before going off-air on October 27, 2018. After a long gap of 6 years, the show returned on December 21, 2024, and is now available on both television and Netflix.
The new season brings back old faces like Dayanand Shetty (Daya), Aditya Srivastava (Abhijeet), Hrishikesh Pandey, Sparsh Khanchandani, and more, while also introducing fresh storylines and characters.
As the new chapter begins with Parth Samthaan as ACP Anushman, fans are curious to see how the show evolves. Change can be tough—but sometimes, it leads to a new beginning.
