This weekend, the much-loved singing reality show, Indian Idol Season 15, on Sony Entertainment Television, will spread the festive cheer with its special episode called “Christmas Concert”. A host of celebrities will join this episode as ‘Secret Santas,’ bringing gifts for their favorite contestants including Madhubanti Bagchi, Paradox, Bhoomi Trivedi, Rishab Sharma, Papon, Nikhita Gandhi, Priyank Sharma, Meiyang Chang and the cherished team of CID - ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam), Senior Inspector Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava), and Senior Inspector Daya (Dayanand Shetty).  

Idol ka Aashirwad face, Ragini Shinde, expresses her deep love for India’s most beloved crime show, CID, saying, “I only watch CID, I’ve seen all the episodes, and I still watch the repeats!” When asked who her favorite character from the show is, she says, “All three are my favorites, but my absolute favorite is Abhijeet Sir.”

Shivaji Satam praises Ragini, saying, “I heard your song, and I just want to say, it’s amazing, beautiful. There is something divine about your voice. I already told Daya and Aditya, to listen to you. I’ve heard it, and she’s incredible.”

Shreya Ghoshal adds, “I’ve heard that Lata Ji really liked CID too. She’s met you (team CID) and expressed it to you as well. So, from Lata Ji to Ragini’s generation, there’s a connection there.”

Shivaji Satam responds, “That’s exactly what we say, CID and all of us are blessed by the blessings of Saraswati Maa,” and expresses their admiration for the judges, saying, “We are huge fans. We were just talking about this in the back; we don’t get time to meet, but we watch the show, and there’s always hope that we’ll meet one day.”

Vishal Dadlani adds, “I can’t even express how happy my heart feels. It’s been 6 years since you all came into our lives. For 6 years, I’ve been hearing people say, ‘You’ve taken CID’s place, bring CID back!’ The public is crazy for you. It’s not just a show, CID is a culture in India!”

Dayanand Shetty adds, “It was amazing, as everyone said, you’ve gone beyond the Darwaza Tod Performance – you’ve already moved two steps ahead. When Sir told me about your dedication and sacrifice at such a young age, and how far you’ve come, it’s clear that you will go far and achieve great things. Keep progressing and achieving success!”
