Further, Dayanand revealed how Satam had once fallen inside a river while they were shooting in the North. He said that Shivaji Satam fell into the water and there was ice above it. The 75-year-old revealed that Dayanand and Aditya held his hands and saved him. 

After this, Dayanand Shetty recalled a spine-chilling incident when he almost drowned during a river rafting experience while shooting for CID in Rishikesh. Shivaji Satam said, "Daya toh lag bag 200 feet tak dikhayi hi nahi de rha tha pani ke andar (Daya was not seen for almost 200 feet in water)."

Dayanand added, "Maine toh soch liya tha gaya mei mera ho gaya last episode (I thought it was my last episode)." He emphasised, "The timing was good or maybe I wanted to live (laughs) so I was saved." 

Dayanand Shetty narrated the scary incident that happened to him, "I went down and the raft was very strong. By the time I came back, I could see the surface of the water and raft. It was Ganga river so the water was very clear. The raft was behind and I fell from the raft and slipped ahead. The flow was extreme and there was too much current."

The actor recalled how everyone was searching for him while the local pilot (guide) held a rope and was frantically looking for him. Dayanand remembered being underwater and struggling to breathe. He mentioned that he went underwater after being hit by another raft. Dayanand recounted, "The second time I came up, I jumped above the water, and that person saw me."

Dayanand Shetty revealed that the guide threw the rope exactly where he was 20-25 meters away and it directly landed in his hand. He mentioned that he didn't leave the rope when he caught it. Shivaji Satam described this incident as the "scariest moment." 

Along with Shivaji Satam, Dayanand Shetty, Aditya Srivastava, CID also features Narendra Gupta, Ansha Sayed, Ajay Nagrath and more in important roles.
