Vivek Mashru talked about his time on the set of CID, where he played a police officer and won a lot of fans and respect from people all over the country. But he said that after the show finished, his life changed in a big way because he had to get back into society without the iconic inspector's persona.
Vivek remembered a funny thing that happened when he was driving and broke a traffic light. To his surprise, the cops at the scene saluted him because they thought he was a real officer. This event was a stark reminder of how people were affected by his role as Inspector Vivek, which blurred the lines between fantasy and reality.
Vivek also told another moving story besides the one about the traffic light. He said that when he went to the holy city of Shirdi, where the famous Shirdi Sai Baba temple is, police officers recognised him and gave him a VIP darshan, which is a special chance to see the god up close. This event showed how much people respected and admired the role he played on TV.
Even though these things happened to him, Vivek said that he now lives a normal life like everyone else. He stressed how important it is to be happy with a normal life, away from the spotlight and glitz of show business. Vivek thanked his fans for their love and support throughout his playing career and said that he will always remember those times.
