Aishwarya Rai at fault for ruining Salman's life?
Forgive my ignorance...but who is that moustached guy? The guy who comes in many episodes of CID?
Shivaji Satam, who plays the iconic ACP Pradyuman, says, "CID is a wholesome show where all the family members -- right from a small child to an 80-year-old -- can sit and watch together. The actors who play the characters are amazing. If I have to look at it objectively, the casting is perfect as everybody fits the bill."
He adds that the serial does not show crimes on children or women (like ). "Also, we stress on the investigation."
He continues: "Whenever someone sees an accident, they want to know the details and also, how it's being investigated. We try to generate the same kind of curiosity to the audience on our show. We tell the story from the camera's point of view. I think that makes CID successful.
"From Lata Mangeskar to a small child to a beggar watch our show. The love we get from people is without any expectations. That makes the show successful," he adds.
His proudest moment on the show? "The proudest moment was when we got into the Guinness Book of World Records for canning an entire episode of 111 minutes (named The Inheritance) in a single shot without a single cut."
Daya, who plays Inspector Daya on the show, tries to explain why the show is so popular: "All the characters in the serial have carved a niche for themselves. All of them are standouts. This show is most popular among kids, and that contributes to the success of the show.
"It has been smooth-sailing for 15 years. Five-six years ago, we had a bad patch but we bounced back. CID is the number one show on Sony," he adds.
Why is the show especially popular with the children? "If you ask a three year old what is CID, he will say 'Koon hua.' They don't know anything other than that but still they watch it. That means they are attracted to some characters on screen or may be the whole package."
Daya has been mistaken for a real cop many times. "People come and tell me the local police is not acting on their complaints, and want me to do something about it. You feel sad at the system but at the same time, you are helpless. We just explain to them that we are not real cops, we're actors," he says.
Aditya Srivastav, who plays Senior Inspector Abhijeet, attributes the show's success to God, producer-director B P Singh and their hard work.
"Our sincere efforts are evident because the team has remained the same for 15 years. The bonding also shows. That's why we've stuck together for so long," he says.
Narendra Gupta, who plays Dr Salunkhe, claims the show's success is due to clarity, passion, commitment and hard work.
Has he started feeling like a doctor after portraying the role for so many years? "No," he laughs. "I am a theater artist so we switch on and off. But I am in love with this character. I'm learning the medically terminology to help me portray the character better.
"Many people in my housing society think that I am a real doctor," he adds, "As I am a theatre artist, I get calls from Nagpur University to set questions for the dramatics department. They call me Dr Narendra Gupta!"
Gupta says his mother wanted him to become a doctor when he was younger. "Since I was inclined towards theatre, I could not complete my studies. After I starting working for the show, I told her to watch CID. She said, 'Chalo aiso nahi hai tho waise."
But isn't he bored of doing the same role for so many years? "Absolutely not! I don't mind doing it for another 15 years! CID is my priority; I have stopped doing other shows. When a new show is offered to me, I first ask if they can accommodate my CID dates. The show has given me everything an actor's needs -- money, fame and respect. Why should I leave?"
Dinesh Phadnis, who plays Fredericks, says the show is popular because it emphasizes on the investigation more than the crime.
"Earlier I played a serious cop but since the show required some humour, they added that to my character," he says.
"I enjoyed playing this character as much as the children enjoyed watching me on screen," he adds. "It's a stress-buster for me. Most of the kids call me by my character's name. I feel very good because it's an achievement for an actor."
So what does he do other than CID? "I have written a few episodes of CID with (Agent Vinod director) Sriram Raghavan and recently wrote for a Marathi film. I have written some Hindi film scripts too. I would like to produce films in future," he says.
A man who needs no introduction, Aditya Srivastava is the King of our Hearts. The loyal TV and Internet viewers of CID know him as Senior
