Contrary to the popular opinion of wishing this is a fake death, I want to see him getting martyred! It's almost a confirm news that Shivaji sir is quitting. I just hope they don't make a mockery again by killing off a doppelganger or ACP Pradyuman miraculously surviving the blast! This will really take the show to another level. Please makers give Shivaji sir as well as ACP Pradyuman a respectful exit! The kids, for whom you used these gimmicks to not make the show dark, have already grown up and I don't think those born after 2010 are at all interested in watching cid! Please handle the track maturely
I don't mind Satam sir exiting as long as they don't bring another person in but rather promote Abhijeet or Daya to ACP.
Secondly, I would rather ACP Pradyuman be shown retiring than dying. That doesn't do his legacy justice. And especially because I know that the makers would never give us a true villainous character. Even Barbossa will be phush at the end. If they gave us a truly villainous character who never gets caught and gets away, then I wouldn't mind because then it would be realistic, but not here.
What I hope is that this whole dying in bomb blast is just a marketing gimmick. If they want to make it a fake death or a doppelgänger or ACP Pradyuman just surviving the blast by some magical touch, so be it. But they show that, he comes back, realizes that he's done enough and announces his retirement. They promote Abhijeet or Daya to ACP, Parth Samthaan comes in as a new senior cop, and we continue on.
