Television actor Hrishikesh Pandey, best known for his role in the long-running detective series CID, recently gave fans a peek behind the curtain of television production by sharing a moment with his assistant during filming.
In his latest Instagram post, Pandey shared a video featuring himself alongside a man he identifies as Satish, whom he affectionately refers to as his “sweetest most hard working helper.” The post, captioned with warmth and appreciation, shows the two at work on what appears to be the set of CID.
Behind The Scenes Of Cid
The video shows Pandey and his assistant Satish, who is smiling as they work together during what seems to be a filming session. Pandey’s appreciation for his support staff highlights the often-unseen teamwork that goes into creating television shows that have entertained audiences for years.
The Face Behind Cid’s Inspector Sachin
Hrishikesh Pandey has portrayed Inspector Sachin in CID, one of India’s longest-running television shows that captivated audiences with its crime-solving narratives. The procedural drama, which began airing in 1998, became a cultural phenomenon and made household names of its cast members, including Pandey.
Pandey has been a significant part of Indian television, with CID forming a cornerstone of his career. The actor has been open about his experiences on the show, including addressing trolling faced by CID in a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, where he discussed the show’s legacy and impact.
Life Beyond The Screen
When not filming, Pandey appears to enjoy quality time with family and friends. In a recent post, he shared his experience at The Forest Club Resort, expressing gratitude for the hospitality he received during his stay. “Hey what a wonderful full time I had with family and friends,” he wrote, indicating his appreciation for downtime away from the camera.
The actor also frequently shares philosophical reflections with his followers. In one thoughtful post, he mused: “To live in the present is to be free from the influence of the past…. Many times the past keeps coming back again and again in the mind, influencing the present too.” Such introspective content offers fans a glimpse into Pandey’s mindset beyond his on-screen persona.
He also occasionally posts in Hindi, sharing poetic thoughts such as “खुश दिखना खुश रहने से ज़्यादा जरूरी हो गया है…….. ये कलयुग है..” (Looking happy has become more important than being happy… This is Kalyug), reflecting on modern society’s emphasis on appearances.
Continuing A Television Legacy
CID, which stands for Crime Investigation Department, became known for its dramatic investigations, compelling characters, and the iconic entry of ACP Pradyuman (played by Shivaji Satam). While the show concluded its original run after two decades on air, it has remained in public consciousness through reruns and the continued careers of its cast members like Pandey.
The glimpse that Pandey provides into the working relationships on set demonstrates the human connections that helped sustain such a long-running production. His acknowledgment of Satish’s hard work is a reminder of the collaborative nature of television production, where success depends on contributions from people both in front of and behind the camera.
As fans continue to follow Pandey’s career and social media updates, posts like these offer valuable insight into the reality of television production and the personal side of actors whose characters have become part of India’s entertainment landscape.
