The long-running cult favorite 'CID' has found itself back in the social media spotlight — for a heartwarming reunion that took fans by surprise. Episode 49 of the current run delivered an unexpected emotional punch as Daya (played by Dayanand Shetty) came face-to-face with Shreya (portrayed by Janvi Chheda) after years of absence from the show.

What made the scene all the more emotional was the return of Shreya’s long-lost daughter, who had been kidnapped soon after birth. In a heartwarming moment, Daya gently lifts the little girl into his arms, clearly overwhelmed. The reunion, witnessed by the CID team, quickly went viral on social media, with fans flooding timelines with screengrabs, clips, and heartfelt reactions.

In the episode, Shreya greets the team warmly, expressing joy at seeing them again. Her brief but significant reappearance triggered a wave of nostalgia, prompting fans to reflect on her earlier stint in the series and her chemistry with Daya.

It is to be noted that in previous episodes, Shreya and Daya shared a quiet affection and mutual admiration. However, their unspoken romance never fully blossomed, as Shreya eventually married someone else.

Netizens react to Daya and Shreya's reunion

Reddit users and Instagram followers flooded posts with emotional reactions. One Redditor shared, “I don't know whether Shreya is back full time or for a cameo, but they seriously need to get them married! I don't think Shreya is with her husband anymore.”

Another user added, “I really want them to reunite. This looks like a wonderful family.” A third fan wrote, “If she is back in CID full time, then good. But if it is a cameo, then a beautiful closure is needed.”

Over on Instagram, a reel featuring the emotional scene also drew heartfelt comments. One fan quipped, “CID: Ek Prem Katha!” while another chimed in, “CID ❎ Daya ki adhuri kahani ✅” A third simply stated, “I cried.”

Is Shreya back for good on CID?

The surprise appearance has led to speculation: is Shreya’s return a one-off, or will the writers explore her character further? While the show has yet to confirm, the episode has certainly reignited interest in the on-screen bond between Daya and Shreya — and in the possibility of unresolved storylines finally being addressed.

Originally launched by creator BP Singh and produced in collaboration with Pradeep Uppoor, CID remains a cherished title in Indian television history. The series currently airs on Sony TV and is available for streaming on SonyLIV and Netflix, allowing a new generation to dive into its iconic investigations.
