Meet Viivek Mashru, the CID guy going viral: I was originally signed for 3 months in CID, ended up at 6 years “My wife, who is an English teacher, told me about my picture going viral. The original contract of Mashru was only for three months, but the show’s creator would keep extending it, and it ended up being for six years. “From being an actor where there’s so much adulation- toll naake pe they would not take tolls from me, if I ever broke a signal the police would stop me, realise I am in CID, salute and let me go after an autograph, if I went to Shirdi, they would take me for VIP darshan.
