The second season of India’s iconic crime thriller CID has managed to grab attention once again. Although the new season began with mixed reactions, struggling to match the legendary pace of its first, it quickly turned things around. One of the biggest shockers early on was the dramatic death of ACP Pradyuman, a character that had become synonymous with the show. Fans mourned the loss, believing an era had ended. Parth Samthaan was then introduced as ACP Ayushman, bringing in a fresh face to lead the team.
However, the series thrives on unpredictability. In a move no one saw coming, ACP Pradyuman returned, alive and in charge, while ACP Ayushman quietly exited. Parth Samthaan marked his departure by sharing a video from the sets. In it, the cast, including Shivaji Satam, gathered as Parth cut a farewell cake. The cheerful atmosphere masked the underlying bittersweet emotion of saying goodbye to a character fans had just begun to warm up to.
Amid this chaos, another beloved character made a long-awaited return. Inspector Shreya, played by Janvi Chheda, reappeared on CID 2 in a recent episode. She wasn’t alone. Shreya walked into the bureau office holding her young daughter’s hand, catching everyone off-guard. The shock was especially visible on Daya’s face, portrayed by Dayanand Shetty. Long-time followers of the show would remember that in the original season, Shreya and Daya shared a tender romantic bond. Their relationship had been left hanging as the show concluded without closure.
ACP Pradyuman didn’t miss a beat. Noticing the tension and unspoken emotions in the room, he instructed Daya to spend some time with Shreya and her daughter. The moment was subtle, yet heavy with nostalgia for audiences who had waited years to see this pair share the screen again.
One fan wrote, “ACP Sir asked Daya to spend some time with Shreya and Mihika. Makers should at least clarify if Shreya will join CID or not, and also what about her husband? We’re literally clueless about him.” The sentiment echoed among many viewers, all desperate for answers about Shreya’s personal life and future on the show.
Another fan expressed excitement over Janvi Chheda’s reappearance, commenting, “Fans want Janvi Chheda back as Inspector Shreya — bold, brilliant, and brave.” The scene where Shreya and Daya stood face to face again was described by many as the most touching moment in the current series.
Though Shreya appeared only briefly in the episode, her presence sparked major curiosity. Discussions sprang up online about whether the character was here to stay or if this was a fleeting cameo. Loyal viewers called for clarity, demanding the makers address unresolved storylines from the past.
For now, fans eagerly await the next episode, hoping it answers their burning questions about Shreya’s return and her connection with Daya. The revival of these characters has rekindled a long-lost excitement. It’s clear that CID 2 isn’t done surprising its audience yet.
