For years, audiences have loved Shraddha Musale as the sharp and composed Dr. Tarika in CID. But now, the actress has stepped into a new role, that of an author. In an exclusive chat with midday, Shraddha opened up about her intriguing transition, her corporate-themed debut book, revisiting CID, and balancing life between both career paths.

Turning author may seem like a surprising shift for someone known primarily for acting, but for Shraddha, it felt like a natural progression. “Yes, it was definitely an intriguing transition. But what really helped was experience. For the past five years, I have been running my edtech venture focused on career skills. This is the work I have been deeply involved in every single day. So putting it into words wasn’t difficult - it was more about discipline and consistency. The content was lived, not imagined.”
