Pati, patni aur CID
Real-life couple Manav Gohil and Shweta Kawatra fight for justice together

This is one co-incidence all actor couples will die for. One of the most loved off-screen couples of television, Shweta Kawatra and Manav Gohil will now be seen on Sony fighting against injustice.
While Manav plays the part of an upright cop on CID, Shweta will be playing the role of Niyati Pradhan, a forensic expert on CID Special Bureau. For Shweta it wasn't a planned move and she states as a matter of fact, "I got a call from the production house. I liked the role so I took it up."
She began shooting for the promo yesterday. For the serial Shweta has been given a look different from how she is generally portrayed in other serials. Says she, "I am a doctor and have been given a business-like and professional look for the serial."
This also happens to be her second stint on the show as she had played the role of a forensic expert on the show, a few months ago for three episodes. When asked why she left the show earlier, she replies, "I did not leave the show. I was to do only the stipulated three episodes." So is this a comeback on the show? She muses for a while before replying, "I can't call it a comeback. The requirement of the show is different this time."
Husband Manav on his part is equally thrilled about Shweta's entry into the CID Special Bureau. "This is the first time we are working on shows from the same production house (Producer B P Singh's Fireworks Entertainment). I am glad she is doing the show. We wouldn't have scenes together, although I would love to," he says.
The couple had earlier played a cameo as makeover experts on Star One's Instant Khichdi. Shweta makes an appearance on CID Special Bureau on August 29.
