Vaishnavi Dhanraj who is today known as Tasha of Sony's popular and long-running show CID has decided to quit the show as she has bagged the lead role in COLORS' Na Aana Is Desh Laado.

Laado which is soon to take a generation leap of 20 years will rope in the two grown-up daughters of Sia (Natasha Sharma), and the girls to play this role will be Vaishnavi Dhanraj and Simran Kaur of Love Ne Mila Di Jodi fame.

As a result of this, Tasha's character in CID will be bumped off in tonight's episode.

Our source states, "In the episode, Tasha will be shown having an encounter with a lady criminal. Tasha picks up her gun to shoot her, but the other lady stops her and they have a tussle with the gun in their hand. This is when accidentally a bullet goes off and hits Tasha. The officer will breathe her last, thus bidding adieu to CID".

We called up Vaishnavi who confirmed the news and said, "Yes, it was a very tough decision to make. But I guess this is what every actor goes thro' as he/she grows in career. I will certainly miss my entire team, the unit, my co-actors who are like family to me. It has been a glorious two years for me in CID with Fireworks Productions and the channel. Having said this, I would want to get back to CID one day".

When asked about Na Aana Is Desh Laado, she said, "It is true that I am playing one of the leads there. But I am not supposed to talk of my role as of now. I start my shoot next week".

Well, CID fans get ready to watch Tasha's last episode tonight..
