CID cast Shivaji Satam, Dayanand Shetty, Abhijeet Srivastava and others reunite on Usha Mangeshkar's birthday

Veteran television stars from the iconic crime show CID recently came together for a warm and nostalgic reunion at the birthday celebration of legendary singer Usha Mangeshkar. The gathering turned into a memorable evening as familiar faces who once dominated Indian television screens reunited under one roof, reminding fans of an era when CID was a household ritual.

Photos and videos from the celebration quickly went viral on social media, showing Shivaji Satam, best known as ACP Pradyuman, sharing smiles and conversations with his former co-stars Dayanand Shetty (Inspector Daya), Aditya Srivastava (Inspector Abhijeet), and several other members of the CID team.

The actors were seen standing together, posing for group pictures, and interacting warmly with Usha Mangeshkar, who appeared visibly touched by the presence of the television icons.

The reunion took place in a simple yet festive setting, with Usha Mangeshkar seated at the centre as the cast gathered around her. Fans were especially delighted to see Shivaji Satam and Dayanand Shetty together again, a duo whose on-screen presence became synonymous with CID’s long-running success. The atmosphere felt intimate and celebratory, more like a family get-together than a formal event.

Several clips captured candid moments, including the actors chatting, laughing, and patiently posing for photos with guests. Social media users were quick to comment on the nostalgia factor, with many recalling how CID shaped their childhoods and evenings for nearly two decades. For long-time viewers, seeing the team together again was an emotional reminder of the show’s cultural impact.

Usha Mangeshkar, the reason for the celebration, holds a special place in Indian music history. She is the younger sister of the late Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, and carved her own identity as a respected playback singer. Over the years, Usha Mangeshkar has lent her voice to numerous Hindi and Marathi songs, devotional tracks, and film soundtracks. She is particularly known for popular devotional numbers and Marathi bhavgeet, which earned her a loyal following across generations. With a career spanning several decades, Usha Mangeshkar remains an important and cherished figure in Indian music, making the CID cast’s presence at her birthday all the more special.
