The news of CID going off air may have thrown scores of fans of the show into despair— and even spawned a petition on Change.org — but keep calm, because Daya will be back breaking down doors on ACP Pradyuman’s command before you know it. Sony TV has clarified that the show is not ending, but going on a hiatus starting 28 October.

While we wait for the reboot, here’s a look at how the cast has changed since the show aired in 1998.

Daya (Dayanand Shetty), on the other hand, has. seen. some. things. He’s grown older, rounder and traded in his smooth baby face for stubble he couldn’t be bothered to get rid of. In short, Daya is all of us.
