It was the moment OG CID fans had been waiting for¡ªthe heart-thudding, gasp-worthy reunion of Daya and Inspector Shreya in CID 2. But instead of riding the wave of nostalgia, things got messy real quick. What was meant to be an emotional tsunami turned into a blink-and-miss heartbreak.
In Episode 49, fans were all in. The suspense, the action, the vibe¡ªpeak CID. Then came Episode 50, and well¡ it flopped harder than a villain trying to run from Daya. Shreya¡¯s return had the internet foaming with excitement, but that excitement soured when viewers realised she was barely there. Like, not even a full minute. Yes, that bad.
CID Season 2 has been riding high on emotion, old-school memories, and heavy-duty drama. So, when Janvi Chedda walked in as Inspector Shreya, fans got their tissues out. The scene? Dramatic AF. Shreya entered the CID bureau with her daughter in tow, and Daya, our gentle giant was shocked. The man literally went soft as he played with the child, emotions hanging in the air like unsolved cases.
But what came next had fans calling it a ¡®TRP stunt¡¯. Social media lit up with posts expressing heartbreak. One fan pointed out that after such a long wait, seeing Shreya for barely 30 seconds felt like an emotional scam. Another chimed in, saying her tiny appearance was enough to break the internet, but also break fans¡¯ hearts. There were also throwbacks to that episode where Shreya got engaged to someone else, and Daya looked like someone had stolen his jalebi.
And in true CID fandom fashion, this brief appearance reignited another demand¡ªbring back Shraddha Musale, aka Sarika, who had sizzling chemistry with Inspector Abhijeet. Because if we are going full nostalgia, might as well go all in, right?
So yes, CID 2 just proved that while crime never sleeps, neither do die-hard fans when it comes to their fave on-screen couples. Sony TV, take notes. We want Shreya back, properly this time. Not as a teaser trailer.
