Actor Parth Samthaan has shared that he is replacing ACP Pradyuman, Shivaji Satam’s character in CID. Speaking with Saas Bahu Aur Betiyaan, Parth, who will be seen as ACP Ayushmann in the show, said that it is “actually a very big responsibility to fill in such shoes, such humongous shoes of ACP Pradyuman“.

Parth Samthaan on replacing Shivaji Satam’s ACP Pradyuman
Parth said, “Yeh ek iconic show hai jo chala araha hai (This is an iconic show which has been going on in) Sony Entertainment Television par. When I discussed it with my family, they thought I was joking. But when I told them I was doing it seriously, they were very proud. It’s actually a very big responsibility to fill in such shoes, such humongous shoes of ACP Pradyuman, since I’m replacing him as ACP Ayushmann. It’s a new character, a new story. We will take the story forward with new thrill and suspense. I never thought I would be part of such a collaboration. This is a cross-collaboration for me…I’m glad to be a part of such an iconic show.”

Parth also talked about his character in the show investigating the killing of ACP Pradyuman. He said, “Jab mujhe call aaya iske baare mein (When I got a call about it) I was in two minds about whether I should be doing it or not. But yes considering the legacy of the show, obviously it was an honour to be. In the show, ACP Pradyuman gets killed. Perhaps it’s a murder. To solve the case, a new ACP has been appointed by this agency as ACP Ayushmann. I’m playing that role. This is a huge responsibility.”
