Never really got into CID, but I appreciate how long it lasted. It's impressive that even now, with Netflix picking it up, people still remember these characters. Sudesh looks sharp in that throwback pic.

Honestly, I think CID is overrated. The cases were repetitive and the acting was sometimes stiff. But Sudesh Berry is a versatile actor—his role in 'Border' was far more impactful. Good to see he's still working at 65.

Never watched much Indian TV, but it's cool to see such long-running shows. Sudesh Berry's journey from 'Mahabharat' to 'Border 2' is interesting. I might check out CID on Netflix to get a taste of the hype.

Officer Vidhan! 🎬 My dad still talks about how dashing Sudesh Berry looked in that role. It's heartwarming to see him revisit it. Also, him being part of 'Border 2'—can't wait! India's war heroes deserve such tributes.
