Headlined by Kunal Kemmu, the ensemble cast includes Manoj Pahwa, Ayesha Raza, Prajakta Koli, Neha Dhupia, Suhail Nayyar, Dayanand Shetty, Aisha Ahmed, Dhruv Rathee, and Isha Talwar. Together, they bring to life a story that is equal parts funny and full of warmth. (Image: Netflix India)
At its core, the show asks: Will Gaurav realise that fatherhood comes with challenges of its own? And with his eccentric family in tow, will the journey be as absurd as it is heartwarming? (Image: Netflix India)
Kunal Kemmu, who plays Gaurav, shared, “This has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Gaurav is flawed, funny, and fiercely loving — just like so many real-life single parents. The warmth of every character makes this show truly special.” (Image: Netflix India)
Prajakta Koli, as Gaurav’s sister Namrata, added, “Single Papa shows what a perfectly imperfect Indian family looks like — noisy, dramatic, loving, and always there for each other. The sibling banter with Kunal felt natural and fun. It’s the perfect show to binge-watch with family.” (Image: Netflix India)
Neha Dhupia, who plays Romilla Nehra, said, “As a parent myself, I was touched by how honestly the show portrays the chaos and tenderness of family life. Parenting is never perfect, and this series captures that beautifully with humour and heart.” (Image: Netflix India)

The series premieres on December 12, exclusively on Netflix, bringing laughter, warmth, and full-on family dhamaal to audiences everywhere. (Image: Netflix India)
