Fans of CID, one of India’s most beloved crime investigation shows, were left shocked when Dayanand Shetty, who plays the iconic Inspector Daya, shared an astonishing fact about his character. In a video shared by Sony Entertainment Television on November 20, Dayanand Shetty revealed that he has broken more than 1,800 doors during the show’s first season. This revelation sent the fans into a frenzy, with many reflecting on the countless episodes of CID where Daya’s trademark “door-breaking” scene became a staple.

In the video, Shetty responded to a frequently asked question: How many doors did he break throughout the first season of CID? He laughed and said, "Normally koi bhi accha kaam karta hai toh hum log use gin ke nehi karte jaise aap paise gin ke nehi rakhte ho kyunki laxmi ginne se gharse jaati hai toh waise daarwaaze ke sath wohi hota hai. But ek fan ne study kiya hai aur usne hume bataya hai ki 1700 or 1800+ darwaaze main todh chuka hu as per the fan's survery."

In English, this translates to: "When we do good work, we don't count it, just like you don’t count money you earn. Similarly, with breaking doors, it’s the same. But one fan did a survey and informed me that I’ve broken over 1700 to 1800 doors in the first season of CID."

The humorous way Dayanand Shetty shared this information shows just how much of a legend the character of Daya has become. His door-breaking moments, often seen in the action-packed episodes, were one of the main reasons CID became so popular. Fans loved how Inspector Daya would rush to break down doors in the heat of the investigation, leading to some of the most memorable moments in the show.

Fans quickly took to social media to express their excitement. One fan commented, "CID is the greatest show in the history of India," while another said, "Old fans are always so excited," referring to the loyal viewership that has followed the show since its inception. A third fan jokingly asked, "When is the new season coming? Announce the date already!"
