The world of Indian television recently witnessed a new chapter unfold with the "CID 2" reboot, bringing a fresh face, Parth Samthaan, into the iconic investigative series. However, his journey as ACP Ayushmann, initially met with a wave of skepticism and backlash from loyal fans, has now come to a temporary, yet impactful, close. Samthaan has officially wrapped up his stint, marking the occasion with a heartwarming farewell alongside the beloved original cast, particularly the legendary Shivaji Satam, famously known as ACP Pradyuman.

The initial announcement of Parth Samthaan stepping into the "CID" universe as ACP Ayushmann was met with significant resistance. Fans of the long-running show, deeply attached to Shivaji Satam's portrayal of ACP Pradyuman, perceived Samthaan's entry as a potential replacement for their beloved "OG" officer. This assumption fueled a considerable amount of "flak" and "mixed reactions" directed towards the Kasautii Zindagi Kay actor. The emotional attachment to characters forged over decades is a powerful force in the entertainment industry, and "CID" is no exception.
