The popular television show CID, which first premiered in 1998, has delighted fans with its return for a second season in 2024. The recent episodes featured the much-anticipated return of Shraddha Musale as Dr. Tarika, who is now heading the Forensic department. Her comeback sparked joyous reunions with co-stars Ansha Sayed, known as Purvi, and Ajay Nagrath, known as Pankaj.
Ansha Sayed and Ajay Nagrath celebrated Shraddha Musale's return to the set. Ansha Sayed posted a fun video and a heartfelt message to Shraddha, expressing her excitement. Ansha wrote, "Finally... Tarika is here. I’d tell you, I will see you soon on the sets from the very 1st day of the shoot. And here's the kind of celebrations you wanted... this is just the beginning my love. Happy homecoming." She also mentioned missing Janvi Chheda and highlighted her favorite moment in the last slide of the video. Shraddha Musale responded to the warm welcome with, "Yes, the welcome that we had planned."
The return of Dr. Tarika has been a welcome addition to the CID cast, sparking nostalgia among long-time viewers. The camaraderie between the actors is evident both on and off-screen, as seen in Ansha's celebratory post. The show's comeback has been met with enthusiasm from fans, who have been asking for a new season with the original cast.
Besides Shraddha Musale's return, CID has seen other significant developments. Shivaji Satam is set to reprise his role as ACP Pradyuman, a character that has become synonymous with the show. His re-entry is planned to be a grand affair, with preparations underway to give him a hero's welcome. However, not all news has been positive. Narendra Gupta's portrayal of Dr. Salunkhe faced criticism, which ultimately led to the character's departure. New cast members have also joined, including Saumya Saraswat as Sub-Inspector Avni, Parul Rai as Dr. Gargi, and others.
