Parth Samthaan to leave CID 2

Speaking to Pinkvilla, Parth Samthaan confirmed his departure from CID 2 as ACP Ayushmann. He said that he joined for a brief period as a guest appearance. The actor 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."

Revealing why the team could not spread the news before, Parth said that it would have spoiled the excitement of the show. Parth revealed that with Shivaji Satam's return, the thrilling twist about the mole will be unfolded very soon in the upcoming episodes. 

Parth also added, "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."

Meanwhile, CID was renewed for a second season in December 2024 due to fans' demand. The iconic trio Shivaji Satam, Aditya Srivastava, and Dayanand Shetty returned to the show as ACP Pradyuman and Inspectors Abhijeet and Daya, respectively. CID is the longest-running Indian television show that started in 1998.
