CID is one of the most loved crime shows India has ever produced. The show, which ran for almost 20 years and aired almost 1500 episodes, is still etched in the hearts of countless viewers. Two of its most iconic characters - Daya and Abhijeet played by talented actors Dayanand Shetty and Aditya Srivastava have taken their fans by surprise through their latest announcement.

The dynamic duo have revealed that they will soon make a comeback together. However, this time, it will not be about solving crime as Aditya and Dayanand won’t be reprising their renowned roles. So, what exactly is it?

Dayanand Shetty confirmed the news to Hindustan Times and said that he and Aditya Srivastava are coming back but not as Daya and Abhijeet. The latter went on to share some details from their next project and revealed that they are set to launch a YouTube channel titled Safarkhana showcasing their travel and food diaries. 

Aditya stated, "Daya and I have been partners in crime-solving for 20 years, and our bond is unbreakable. Our old CID crew came up with this brilliant idea of a travel show, and we are gearing up to launch it on YouTube in May. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride filled with travel tales and foodie fun.” The actor said that they have already explored Satara, Maharashtra, and are now enjoying things in Goa.

It was led by ACP Pradyuman, played by Shivaji Satam. The other officers in the team consisted of Senior Inspectors Abhijeet (played by Aditya Srivastava), Daya (played by Dayanand Shetty), and Fredricks (played by Dinesh Phadnis), among others. The show kept fans hooked to their screens for nearly two decades before it went off air in 2018.
