Netflix is set to bring audiences a heartwarming and hilariously chaotic story with Single Papa, a family comedy that captures the madness and magic of the modern Indian family.
Kunal Kemmu stars as Gaurav Gehlot, an unlikely dad who’s equal parts determined, delightfully disoriented, and taking baby steps from man-child to man. The series promises a relatable, feel-good family watch that celebrates love, laughter, and a whole lot of drama, desi-style.

More about Single Papa
Headlined by Kunal Kemmu, the series follows Gaurav Gehlot, a lovable man-child whose emotional age can best be described as “work in progress.” His sudden decision to adopt a baby right after his divorce leaves his family so shocked that they briefly consider rebooting him. What follows is unprecedented kalesh as the Gehlots scramble to understand how a man who still misplaces his socks plans to raise a whole human.
The series also features a stellar ensemble cast including Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza and Prajakta Koli amongst others, bringing to life a story that’s as funny as it is full of warmth. Single Papa reminds us that family isn’t just about blood — it’s about love, laughter, and showing up when it matters most.
The series is created and co-produced by Ishita Moitra and Neeraj Udhwani, with Shashank Khaitan as the executive producer. It is directed by Hitesh Kewalya and Neeraj Udhwani and produced by Aditya Pittie and Samar Khan under the Juggernaut Productions banner.

Kunal Kemmu, who steps into the role of Gaurav Gahlot, adds, “Single Papa shows the messy, colorful chaos that makes a family special. Playing Gaurav, who is figuring out how to be a dad, made me laugh, cry, and reminded me how much parenting is trial and error, and a whole lot of love. I’m excited for everyone to meet my cute baby and join this joyride with my Great Indian Family!”
