Parth admitted that he was hesitant to take the offer initially, and even his family couldn't believe it when he shared the offer with them. "They thought I was joking at first. But once they realized it was true, they were extremely proud." At last, Parth added, "This is a cross-collaboration for me… and I’m honoured to be a part of such a legendary franchise." CID is currently airing on Sony TV and even on Netflix.
