He wrote, "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."

Speaking about his comeback the small screen, Parth further mentioned, "Moreover, me doing a comeback to Tv after 5 years, to be honest, CID was one show I never thought i would be a part of, but then, that's life - always being unpredictable and mysterious and I always end up taking that unplanned route for myself, be it Kyy or Kasautii ! So let's begin this beautiful journey and crack some cases #omnamahshivay."
In the clip shared by Parth, he enters as the new ACP Ayushman. The moment captures the surprise on the faces of CID team members like Abhijeet, Daya, and the rest, who appear visibly stunned by his arrival.
Parth Samthaan’s arrival in CID has stirred excitement among fans, but it has also sparked mixed emotions, as many are saddened by the exit of Shivaji Satam, who famously portrayed ACP Pradyuman.

According to these reports, discussions around his dramatic return are already underway. However, no official statement has been released to confirm this development.
