Rerun of CID

The most watched show CID is all set to make its rerun. Talking about it Shivaji told BT, "It makes me happy and joyous that people will again get to see and experience CID. It ran for 22 years -- that’s not something you can achieve with poor content. Our stories were so engaging for people. Everywhere I go today, people recognise me as ACP Pradyuman. It was such a good experience for us as actors because we became a large family. The show saw so many actors come and go. It will be fun to relive all of that." (Photo: Instagram)
