Parth Samthaan to take over as new ACP in CID following ACP Pradyuman's death

Parth Samthaan is the new ACP

Parth Samthaan, widely recognised for his role in Kasautii Zindagii Kay, is set to take on a major new role in the world of television. As the iconic ACP Pradyuman bids a final farewell to CID, Parth is all set to step into the shoes of ACP Ayushman in the show, marking a significant shift in the storyline.

In a video recently circulated by Aaj Tak, Parth shared exciting details about his new character. He explained that in the upcoming episodes, ACP Pradyuman's character will meet a tragic end.

The murder of the beloved officer will set the stage for ACP Ayushman’s arrival. Parth Samthaan will take over this role, bringing a fresh energy and dynamic to the long-running show.

However, Parth teased that ACP Ayushman’s journey won’t be an easy one. “Immediately, people are not going to follow my orders,” he hinted. The young, fresh-faced character of ACP Ayushman will face a steep challenge in earning the respect of his team, making for some interesting twists and turns.
