TOI: Kids have helped CID sustain : Daya

The longest running crime show on Indian
television, "C.I.D." has completed 16
years. Dayanand Shetty, who plays Daya
in the show, says children have been
hugely responsible for the show's success.
"If 'C.I.D.' has sustained for 16 years, a
lot of credit goes to kids. A lot of kids
watch our show and they are very
involved with the show. Like we used to
play 'Chor Police', they have renamed it,
now it's 'C.I.D.'. They play 'C.I.D. -
C.I.D'," the 43-year-old said here Monday
while celebrating the show's success.
A special episode of the popular show,
produced by B.P. Singh, involving kids
will be aired soon. Dayanand says it will
help children speak out against crimes
around them.
"It is just a way of giving it back to them.
If they are so engrossed in the show,
then we can spread awareness through
them about the crimes around them,
even ones happening with them which
they don't talk about," Dayanand said.
"It is just a way to instigate children to
talk about it and come out in the open.
These kids will investigate according to
their methods, they are not going to
single-handedly handle the situation, but
will help us (the characters). We will
project them as super heroes," he added.
The show has been on air since January
1998 and stars Shivaji Satam as ACP
Pradyuman.
