Some very old articles I wrote 3-4 years bk, which many old members know very well!!đđ
Joining all into one very long essay LOLz
I am a very level-headed person. I dont fall in d category of insanely crazy fans (no offence) and am always cool about actors... I dont take autographs nor do i chase anyone d moment I see any actor... I had met one or two but was never crazy, just took it as a casual co-incidence...
But today I must say I have become a crazy girl!!! There are a few actors I really love, like Srk, Aamir, and a tv actor am not naming... Aditya sir has now madew me fall in love... hehe...
Yeah. Am in love with him... wat a man, wat an actor, wah wah... Dayanand sir and Shivaji sir are very gud too and I dont forget them... But Adi sir and Abhi sir has made his way to my heart!
For me nothing is complete without a CID episode with the trio in it... But I always look forward to Abhi...
No Offence Meant.

Abhi sir. Please be okay. Please be careful.
Dear Sir,
When I first began to watch CID (Behurupia, August 2009), I noticed you for the first time. I hardly knew any other actor, yet when I saw your acting, first as an imposter then as Abhi sir, I actually fell for you. From then on I always watched CID just to get a look at you and only you.
After I discovered the forums, around October-Novemebr, I learnt more about you and others. I was passing through a very mournful stage, as my first dog had died after 14 years of life, even a glimpse of you started to cheer me up. Your expressions, your aggressive nature, your passionate characterization, your gentle humorous side (except when the creatives make you a flirt in lab), your dosti with Daya sir, your firm yet affable handling of juniors, your dealing with suspects, your ways of interrogating etc always made me sit there in front of the screen. I became obsessed with CID and IF.
Then came Nanhi Gavah. I saw a different side of you. Your acting with children surprised me a lot. I then realised what a fine actor you are! Then cases like Bal Mazduri showed me your various sides...
In December began the great CID Re-run Marathon. I saw the original supercop. I fell for you madly. I felt for you in cases like The Accused Officer, Abhijeet in Danger and The Undercover Cop and even The Stolen Dynamite (I felt so đĄ with those who did that to you!). You are the Master Of Disguises and I realised that in cases like The Return Of The Dead Man. I really really felt for you. My respect increased day by day for you.
Then came that really maddening episode Sr. Inspector Abhijeet. Uff. I felt so mad at Madam P and her family for accusing you. They suddenly came upon you after so many years. Your past came back to you and you couldnt even remember that... Then came the world-crash for you. Daya and Acp suddenly suspecting you! The very people who held you after taking you out of the car boot, the very people who accepted you, the very men who became close to you specially Daya sir... I felt đĄ with them and with the creatives as well. In fact you were too forgiving and noble- You came back.
Adi Sir. After this case I noticed that you are changing. I dont know how to express this but I have a feeling somewhere you are changing. Maybe the creatives are changing your character. Maybe its the Sachin Kajal entry that is affecting you, (I have nothing against them, but I do hope you dont get affected by the changes brought in CID...) Maybe the bi-weekly format is affecting. Even Daya sir and Acp sir have started to change. Somewhere the magic of the Trio is missing.
Sir please come back. Your aggressive nature, your gentle sides. Your passion. Sir please come back. Its a request from not only me but all your and Daya sir's and Cid fans! We love you and your acting! Come back sir...

(MY 1 1/2 YRS WITH ABHI)
Year 2009, 15th August, Sunday, 12pm.
TV switched on, remote surfing through the channels.
Stopped at a channel Sony Tv
Some repeat of some show.
A man in brown-white shirt dramatically entered a stage. Some men and a woman pointing guns. An identical figure pointing a gun at another man standing on the stage.
Status--Attention grabbed, mouth gaping open, hand holding remote. Eyes on Him.
Name of the show -- CID
Episode -- Repeat of Behrupia
Flashback introduction-- I joined the Indian Forums on 12th April, 2009 to see something about some remote serial as well as an article. I was a silent member and I didnt feel like participating in any discussion. So I just stayed put shut.
Forward to August 2009
I was stunned at this man. When I was growing up I was vaguely aware about CID and CID SB, and did watch 1-2 2007 CID cases as well as irregular dosages of CID SB. But he never caught my attention then. (Probably I was a bit unaware about qualities like acting).
The first thing I did was typing CID in IF search section. In came the forums. I explored all the pages from page one. It was a big diversion for me because of a personal loss (death of pet) the previous month. Days passed as I waited for 21st to see that man and learn his name. Days passed as I got more and more into the forums. I was shy, wanting to participate yet holding back.
My journey hence started with CID. It became an eye opener for me in many respects-
1. I became more fond of detective stories, mystery genres and crime solving.
2. It influenced certain final decisions I made in my life.
3. Deep inside I had lots of realisations. For instance, the great CID re-run marathon of winter'09-10 opened my eyes to what the Indian Television was in the 90's, reminding me of the pride I held in growing up in the 90's.
I made my first move in IF with shy introduction (28th December 2009) to myself which no one responded to. I was a little disheartened. But I slowly got integrated into the forums. The next step was the creation of my character Suhaani. I re-started the story writing trend, last left around 2008. My first story The Mysterious Spy (sometime in early 2010) brought mixed feelings and reviews. It brought me my first online friend Visrom, it brought me foes, and my character, my posts and stories and polls became famous as Drilabh's creations and trademarked, copywrited features.
IF helped me know darlings like the Twins Shagz and Bhavz, and it slowly brought me friends like Chinnu, Sneha, Sunny, Bhinder, Zerry, Abhijeetdaya, Devashri, Priya, Demonstar, Jia, Mkal, Ramya, Shreela, Debayon, Somu etc (Those who have left or are absent, please come back and make the forums lively again!)
I had one major crisis on IF. (Throughout Vizzy supported me- Thanks darling!) It was a rocky incident. Then things smoothened out and I left India. By the time I left, IF was as its peak of discussions, lively threads, stories (too good ones), re-runs collections, fights, friendly banters, character groups etc. In August to December period I became absent, very seldom coming online.
Then one fine day I came back to see a changed, slow-moving, silent forums, devoid of many familiar names. Yet another era gone since the first page of 2005 of the forums. It was comforting however that Three importantly Close Friends were still regular... (Love u "trio"!)
Anyway. Now to the man who made me fall for Him. Senior Inspector Abhijeet, CID. Aditya Srivastava (or Srivastav?). It was because of him lots of things happened in my life. It was because of him my creativity came back. It was because of him I began to notice things I took for granted. It was because of him my patriotism zeal increased (1 of the factors). It was Mr. Aditya Srivastava aka Abhijeet. I listened to his Hindi more than other actors. I fell and fell and re-fell for him. I watch repeats and old videos chiefly because of him. He made me notice and realise.
He taught me lots of things no one will understand. Because of him am still in the forums... Otherwise I wud have left long ago... I stopped watching current episodes of CID but only if others praise a scene or case do I watch on youtube. I still hang on to Bento's collection and Youtube for CID Old Cases.
I love u Abhijeet. I love u Adi sir. I love u CID. I love you IF.
My obsession just increases... day by day am dreaming of him and about him, in all the looks from 1998 to present, in all avatars of films i saw so far and cid episodes i liked a lot or watched too many times.
Now am going to discuss how each role of his, in only those films i have seen, had an impact on me...
Bandit Queen (1995) - Thin like a piece of paper and frail looking, Adi entered in an unfashionable manner. Being used to the Abhijeet-Aditya, I was unprepared. But thanks to those who did warn, I was prepared for "some" scenes as well as his flogging. I watched the whole film and his role was negligible compared to the main actors, or rather the female protagonist. I had to watch some Asha era to assure myself he was okay...
Satya (1998) - Watched clips and scenes with him, not the whole film. Wow. A powerhouse performance. His familiar expressions and Ain! were there. And it was days before he entered our lives as Paresh then as Senior Inspector Abhijeet in CID. I think Satya is a kind of a turning point because he got noticed (thankfully). I loved him in whatever roles he had and he melted me simply in the scene where he witnessed his senior's murder. He deserves lots of credits...And his voice!! Whoa, at times it sound like Amitabh, its so unique!
Dil Se (1998) - As a terrorist, Aditya was rather superb. He was rather mysterious. Somewhere he was enchanting. Yes when he beat Srk, I didnt expect anything worse because ultimately the hero wins. I was actually concentrating on him, his looks... I loved him and love him in whatever he does...
Saathiya (2002) - Forwarded the film right to the scene where he was playing the role of a young dashing ACP, and a friend of Srk's character. O my O my I rapidly just gazed on as he stood there in white shirt and black pants, hands in pockets, calm composed and cool. O! I loved him! Whether small by 5 minutes or not, I dont care. I loved him! I didnt care for anything else...
Ek Hasina Thi (2003) - The wicked lawyer role was rather funny more than scary. He was like more Abhijeet in disguise or undercover role here. I simply adored him here. I know he character was corrupt etc. When I first watched the film, I wasnt aware about him nor did I recognize him. But l;ater I remembered, after reading that he was in this film. I remembered that I did like his role a lot!
Black Friday (2004) - One of the most poignant backgrounds, and one of the most poignant tales of a man forced into doing a crime. He was a victim of circumstances, this Badshah Khan, and who better than Adityaji could have portrayed him better? Adi made us actually feel for a man who was involved in the Bombay blasts. Even today I feel for the real man, fearing for his life. And Aditya sir portrayed his role so effectively. I hated many scenes of the film but tolerated them when I first saw the film just for his sake. He made me love him. Besides master of disguises, he deserves to be a master of expressions. Foe me KK Menon's character is just a policeman- for me Adi is the hero because he tearfully and willingly helped the police. I bow down to u Adiji, for being part of a very famous film... and for being brave to act as a member of the gang, I salute your noble spirit.
Lakshya (2004) - Of course here he had small dialogues, and its my favourite film for other reasons as well. But whenever he is there, in whatever scene he is in, he looks dashing, quiet, calm and sweet. I loved it when I heard both the Allahabad original residents speak in one scene. For the first time I could distinguish clearly, (though I always do!) But it was a funny feeling. His presence was enough and thankgod his character was some kind of important in position, and thankfully his character wasnt killed (Amen. May the Kargil war heroes rest in peace- the song mere watan ki logo still rings in my head). That he was in a fantastic film seems to show that he is getting noticed and noticed and noticed. But I wish I saw him in Army formal uniform, not the ones worn in battlefield but the ones in smart green colour- He wud have looked sooo handsome!
(sometimes I identify wt him (With Abhijeet actually)...)
Dansh (2005) - Stupid film with pathetic acting of actors. Poor Aditya's acting potential was not utilized. His character was supposed to be evil, but to me he became a victim. Both the actor and the character would have been really impact full had the director properly directed him. Adi is very gud wt negative roles and here it seemed the poor man himself became a victim1 However I loved him.
Alwar (Tamil) (2007) - Man he was so so good here as a ruthless cop! He was fantastic in police uniform. His acting was similar to Abhijeet but different of course- More ruthless, rough and extremely sharp. Thats Aditya for u. He was a rocker. I love the language even though I dont understand it, and it was funny to here him speak in Tamil. I loved him just loved him. It was here when I realised I can recognise him by looking at his mysterious eyes...Charming...
Gulaal (2009) - A film very violent and confusing. All actors including KK Menon were gud however. Of course our Adi sir was superb superb and superb. His negative best, his negative role at its highest. Sometimes it has positive shades. Aditya can carry out any role with applomb. Hey Master tussi great ho. Loved l;oved loved his role here. Dark, Mysterious, Charming, Enigmatic and Calculative- Adi at his handsome best... Love you!
Kaalo (2010) - A cute film by my standards. Had it not been for Aditya, the film wud have been a goner- the director was so lucky to have got him in an otherwise really a half hearted amateur film. He was really really gud here!
Love u Adi Sir!
(A special mention-- HIGHWAY in Rishtey TV Series was really Aditya Sir at his Romantic best, at his Evil best, at his Humane-character best, at his All-Rounder Best!!)
NOW ADITYA AS SENIOR INSPECTOR ABHIJEETâ¤ď¸
(BEFORE THAT- He came to CID in an episode as Paresh- Another perfect victim of circumstances as well a masterful psychological treatment and acting!!đâď¸)
In 1998, (According to an interview) BP Singh approached a man called Aditya Srivastava (possibly after Satya) to act in 32 episodes only. Aditya decided to shoot only for 3-6 months.
Forward to 2010-- Abhijeet entered our lives and hearts permanently. Aditya never left CID (Thankfully for us) and he is the Abhi and the only Abhi ever for us...
He gave me a fresh lease of life and emotions when I saw the original Abhijeet of 1998 in the re-runs. I felt for him and fell for him. From the lost and traumatised police inspector to the angry young man and criminal hunter officer of cid to the quiet and assertive cop to the mild tempered, mellowed down super cop to the present avatar of level headed detective cop-- His awesome trasnformation had been so consistent that I often wonder whether its Aditya or Abhijeet who is acting, so natural and spontaneous...
(Abhijeet Aditya whom shall i really like? whom do i actually prefer? Am in love with the character or the actor??? So mysterious and charming is Adi-Abhi that I become confused between the reality and the reel...đđł
Adi Sir somehow is such a rocker!
And no one, yes no one will understand how S.I. Abhi influenced me. He gave me a new meaning in life. I identify with him in places and situations except in the case of his memory loss. Its as if am seeing myself often in Abhijeet... Thats y Suhaani my character is my alter ego and fit to be Abhi's niece in my stories--- thats hw i satisfy my feelings for him...
He helped unwittingly in many decisions, actions, brainworks, activities, and lots of other things. He influenced me in pursuing what I am pursuing in the UK... He is the chief reason behind my sudden spurts of creativity which had vanished years ago... He is my salvation, One of the main reel characters I look up to, one of the main forces behind everything I do... I realised my identity after knowing him. He gave me a new life. He gave everything I wanted. He is a human and not perfect always- and that is definitely true. Our egos are same. Our honour, pride, senses, tempers are same.
I clearly identify wt him and there is something about him that clicks.
I thank Adityaji for bringing this character through his acting. I know its the creation of creatives or BP, but an actor always breathes life into the character...isnt it?! And I love the character.
He is definitely my defining force and the reason why I watch CID, why I am at the forums, why am here and there... (to be continued in my next post soon)
i really dont know how to describe it actually... abhijeet of each era was differnt in looks like hair and short sleeves to long sleeves to coat etc etc... lots of changes can always happen-- like a normal human, the actor and his character developes as years go by.
but somehwere i feel a magc link, a sense, something i cant describe- which is missing. somewhere in his mannerism something is not there. after the parts i have mentioned, i i find that spark missig... i really dont know how to place it and am not sure if any of u will understand this... maybe its just me...
my personal opinion, no offense...đ

my personal opinion, no offense...đ
Which Pose/Scene/Pic/Part of epi or case/etc etc, made u feel the following- (u have to answer all the options!)---
1. first fall for him- Behrupia. It was my first CID episode and I started falling for Him.
2. felt for and with him- Sr. Insp. Abhijeet case. I still have not forgiven Daya and ACP. in Accused officer they treated him better in comparison!
3. found him his dashing best- In Asha era cases of 2001 to 2004 and the anushka to muskaan era. And the recent 'running on top of moving bus'.
4. found a new side to him (as in something unexpected or never seen before etc) - Every case, upto 2009, showed me a new side to him. He is still mysterious... And now there are some exceptional cases where he has shown sensitive or brilliant sides...
5. felt his acting was really out of the world- Classic cases where he was in charge in acp's absence, cases of duo investigation, cases involving daya or him...
6. felt slightly disappointed- When Sudhakar was framed, it was not expected of Him to behave like that. in some cases (am not naming them) there were scenes where he was rude a bit. But that came rarely...
7. felt he was not himself- He is not himself, in my opinion, since late 2008, barring some great cases. Definitely he has changed (in my opiion) after Sr. Insp. Abhijeet case, and after sachin-kajal-sonali took over. The flirting scenes also not really him. Sometimes i wonder if its d actor or just his rendering of the character...
8. fell for him the third time(!)- I refall for him everytime... i watch current cid cases only to c him only.
9. realised a new quality in him (as in some potential or habit or secret etc)- There are too may sides to him... cant really specify!đ
10. felt the need for improvement- He is fine the way he is but i really wish the original abhi is back...
