The Story

Single Papa follows Gaurav “GG” Gehlot, a carefree, somewhat immature man who has just gone through a divorce because his ex-wife did not want children while he desperately did. Shortly after finalising the divorce, Gaurav’s life takes an unexpected turn when he finds a baby left in the back of his car and instantly decides to take responsibility for the child and adopt him — a choice that shocks everyone around him from neighbours to authorities. Gaurav’s decision disrupts the dynamic of his affluent, close-knit Indian family: his parents, who have always treated him like a “man-child,” are baffled by his sudden leap into fatherhood; his sister is preoccupied with her own impending marriage and worried about how a single brother with a child might affect family reputation; and extended relatives offer unsolicited advice and judgments. Amid the uproar, Gaurav must navigate the legal, emotional and social hurdles of adoption — facing sceptical officials who question whether a single man can raise a child, and battling societal norms that assume caregiving is primarily a woman’s role. As he fights for custody and learns practical parenting skills (from sleepless nights and diaper disasters to hospital visits and bureaucratic hurdles), the series charts Gaurav’s evolution from a glorified bachelor into someone confronting responsibility, vulnerability and love he never knew he had. Along the way, there are countless comedic missteps, awkward family gatherings, chaotic interventions by friends, and quieter moments of bonding with the baby that begin to reshape Gaurav’s identity and purpose. Through each episode, Gaurav’s determination to prove that he can provide a safe, nurturing home for his adopted child pushes him to grow up fast, challenge stereotypes and transform not just himself but also the people around him. The culmination sees his family slowly rallying around him, grudging supporters turning into allies, and Gaurav stepping firmly into the role of a devoted single father, redefining what a modern family can look like in contemporary Indian society.
