Parth Samthaan finally confirmed his exit from CID 2. The actor entered the show as ACP Ayushmaan and garnered significant attention. However, the show failed to attract the expected amount of TRP as fans as well as followers demanded Shivaji Satam’s return as ACP Pradyuman. Meanwhile, Parth has shared that his role was a guest appearance and it just got an extension.
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Parth Samthaan said, “It’s been an absolute pleasure to be a part of a cult show like CID, even if it’s just for a brief period. I was on board for a few episodes only, a guest appearance, but later got extended for a couple of months."
He further added, “Initially, we couldn’t give any confirmation on the same as it would have spoiled the excitement of the show. And now with Shivaji Sir’s return, that thrilling twist about the mole will be unfolded very soon.”
“Anyway, I have other work commitments lined up, hence I won’t be continuing for long. But yes, I’m grateful for all the love and support the audience has shown during my brief stint,” he continued.
Earlier, Parth opened up on taking on the role of ACP Ayushman. “Initially, I rejected the role of ACP Pradyuman, because I don’t relate to it. But the makers asked me to reconsider. I was also hesitant due to the show’s long-standing cast and the fact that they’d have to address me as ‘sir’ on screen. It felt a bit unusual and awkward,” said the actor.
Parth said, “Introducing ACP Ayushman in the most Iconic, loved and longest running show – CID !!! This show has always been an integral part of our childhood and Indian Television ! The all time famous dialogues as well as the officers becoming veterans or rather Legends (ACP pradyuman , Daya & Abhijeet ) , this show has seen it all and to be a part is truly a blessing for me.”
