Single Papa (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

Amul? Where is my son? Hello?
Can anyone help me?
Did you see anyone with a kid?
Come on!
Hey, GG, Amul is inside.
Where?
There's a huge man inside.
Amul is with him.
Hey!
Amul, my child!
Are you crazy, bro?
My baby!
How can you take a child?
You are quite careless, sir.
How can you leave a child all alone?
Who the hell are you, you giant?
Not a giant, a mountain.
I am Parbat Singh.
Sharanya ma'am sent me here.
Why? I don't need to collect any dues,
nor kidnap anyone.
I don't kidnap, I put kids down for a nap.
She told me that you need someone
to take care of your child.
-Sharanya?
-Yes.
Let me call her.
Yeah, GG.
Tell me.
Hey, Sharanya, did you send
some bodybuilder uncle to me?
Parbat Singh.
You need a nanny, right?
So does Uncle run some agency
that finds you a nanny?
Uncle is the nanny. Manny, to be precise.
Manny?
Male nanny, manny.
Hey, listen. I know that I'm desperate,
but I'm not that desperate
to treat an uncle as an aunty.
Uncle is a legend. A legend.
Thirty years of experience.
He has raised 99 kids.
From Peru's High Commissioner
to Patna's Commissioner,
he has worked everywhere.
What should I do with him?
How can I let a man raise my child?
That's exactly
what Mrs. Nehra thinks about you.
But I'm a man myself. So, I need a woman.
Go ahead.
Man or woman, the job must get done.
That's all that matters.
And Uncle is a pro.
At least give it a shot.
I'm not shopping for ice-cream
to "give it a shot."
This is my kid, Sharanya.
It's about his life.
I can vouch for him, trust me.
Money-back guarantee.
-Ma'am?
-It's your call.
I have to feed my kid. I have to go. Bye.
So, Mr. Giant, let's do this.
Not Giant, Mr. Parbat.
Yes, Parbat-ji, so let's start
with a trial period of seven days.
If we both like it, great.
Otherwise, we go our separate ways.
-Not seven, six.
-Why?
I don't work on Sundays.
Okay. What's your mode of payment?
Cash, cheque or bitcoin.
So, this is our house.
This is the living area,
that's my room in the back.
This is the baby's room.
Here's the dining area,
and we have a small garden in the back.
This is the kitchen.
Are you a non-vegetarian?
Hey, where did he go? Parwal!
Where is he?
What? What are you doing?
-Do you have a banana?
-What?
-What did you say?
-Banana, sir, banana.
-The fruit. Banana. Do you have one?
-Yes. Why?
Here you go.
Brother, if you are hungry,
there's proper food in the kitchen.
What are you doing?
That's my child, not fruit chaat.
He has a mosquito bite.
That's why he's so irritated.
A simple banana peel
can solve this within minute. Look.
What?
Don't try these random tricks on my son.
Hold on. Wait. Don't do a thing.
Let me verify this.
I've never heard of this before.
Banana to calm kids down.
Okay, this one's fine.
But next time,
you better ask me
before trying any tricks on my child.
I know everything that happens in here.
Every room in this house has a camera.
You are under 24-hour surveillance.
I have my eyes on you. Got it?
Tell him, son.
-Himalaya-ji.
-Not Himalaya, Parbat.
-Parbat Singh.
-Oh, yes, Parbat-ji.
Did he poop?
-I mean, did he download?
-Full download.
Don't you worry.
Tell him, Amul, did you download?
Papa will be home soon. I love you.
Amul's first oil massage. Hi, Amul.
First massage! Mr. Wrestler, careful.
Easy on the muscles, please.
Hey, Bill, take a chill pill.
-Wow, you speak English quite fluently.
-Yeah.
When did you learn it?
I worked in Dubai for a bit.
-That's where I learned it.
-I see.
-You should try it too.
-What? Work in Dubai?
Massage, sir, massage.
Okay, Papa will also massage Amul.
He asked for a PowerPoint presentation.
I said, I don't know how to make one.
Two flowers…
I had to learn it. Appu to the rescue.
A butterfly came, fluttering with pride
Even the flowers forgot themselves
-Is that Punjabi?
-I'm not sure.
-Parbat-ji?
-Yes?
You said you were from Bihar?
-Yes.
-How are you singing in Punjabi, then?
Sir, I worked for singer Gurdas Maan
for six months, so I picked it up.
-What? Gurdas Maan?
-Wow!
That's amazing!
Which other languages can you sing in?
-Bengali?
-No.
The baby has fallen asleep
The neighborhood is quiet
-And French.
-French?
Yes.
Brother John, Brother John
Are you asleep?
Are you asleep?
Pondicherry, Deputy Governor's house.
That's where I learned French.
Take a break.
How many channels do you have?
You are a radio broadcast in yourself.
Sir, I am try-lingual.
I try every language I hear.
I don't even know my mother tongue.
Parbat-ji.
It's my holiday today.
Let me help you with the work.
As you wish.
-Gaurav sir?
-Yes.
If you don't mind,
can I ask you something?
Ask away.
Amul doesn't look like you or your father.
That's because he's got no link
to his father and his grandfather.
What?
To put it simply,
my relationship with this child
is an emotional one, not a biological one.
I have adopted him.
You adopted him alone? Is that allowed?
Yeah.
That solves the mystery.
I've been wondering
what happened to his mother.
Whether you got divorced,
or she passed away.
Amul doesn't have a ma,
but his life is filled with drama.
I see.
I have his custody for three months.
I have three months to prove
that I am worthy of him. Otherwise…
There won't be an otherwise.
I am with you.
You will ace your test.
Okay.
So, you have already decided
that I am going to hire you?
I mean, confidence level,
selfie with no filter!
Very nice. I like it.
-Actually, it feels like home.
-That's great.
Where are you going?
Actually, Meenu said me,
"Poons, let's go Ambi Mall for some funs."
We'll be back in the evening.
Okay. Enjoy!
-Enjoy?
-Yeah.
Auto!
Follow the car. Don't you dare say no!
Come on!
Betrayal!
-Guru-ji! Guru-ji!
-Calm down.
-Guru-ji!
-Calm down, my child.
Come. Take a seat. Come, my child.
Your tears speak for themselves.
I am very troubled, Guru-ji.
My son has already left the house,
now I'm worried that my
daughter's wedding might get ruined.
Put this on and have faith.
The power of this ring
combined with the power of your faith,
will keep all troubles away.
Okay.
I will send you the wedding invitation.
We will be blessed to have you.
Look at this.
Very nice.
-And this one?
-Amazing.
So, because drinking and dancing
go hand-in-hand,
it will be nice to rope in an artist
for a live gig.
What say? We'll make it a fabulous launch.
-How do you like it?
-I have always liked it.
I'm talking about the strategy.
That's good too.
One second.
-What happened?
-Brother, chaos alert.
Mom and Dad want you to meet Shreya.
But I just met her.
Why should I meet her again?
Meet her again and again.
They think you guys make a good match.
Have they lost their minds?
I'd be the worst match for Shreya.
But Shreya likes you too.
Why? You guys should try
and brainwash her.
Hey, listen. We can't do that.
Anyway after hitting the 30s,
girls lower their standards.
Shreya is very smart,
and my in-laws are very sensitive.
Your in-laws are more sensitive
than my toothpaste.
Listen, Goldie and I
have really helped you a lot.
It's your turn now.
Come on, do this for us!
Just meet Shreya on Sunday,
unimpress her, and put this behind us.
How will I unimpress her?
-Just be yourself.
-Just be yourself.
Guys, I don't have a manny on Sundays.
Where will I leave Amul?
Hey, you aren't just Amul's single papa.
You are my single brother, too.
Got it? Now be a good brother.
Figure out some babysitter for two hours.
Nammo, what are you saying?
Try to understand.
This is not a request, it's a demand.
Do it. Bye.
Hello! What is this, man?
Well done.
We're wearing matching t-shirts.
Come on, say "Papa."
Say "Pa," come on, "Papa.
Papa."
Hey, Parbat bhaiyya,
can you see who is at the door?
I am boiling the milk
and sterilizing the bottles.
I'll go. Sorry, baby.
I don't know if Papa has employed Parbat,
or Parbat has employed Papa.
Lie down, now. Play with your toys.
Hello?
Hi. The door was open, so I came in.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Hi.
Shreya! Doctor on call. But I didn't call.
You're so funny.
We have a lunch plan, right?
Today? Sunday?
But I don't eat lunch on Sunday.
Intermittent fasting. 18 hours long.
I don't eat anything.
Namrata and Goldie confirmed the plan.
There must be some misunderstanding.
I'll leave. That's okay.
Actually, yes, you're right.
Nammo told me about the plan.
I totally forgot. I didn't eat almonds.
Forgot those, too.
Intermittent?
Forgot that, too.
I forget easily.
You should also forget about this.
Come on in. Take a seat.
Oh, no, no.
We had to go out for lunch. Let's go.
-You will go like this?
-Yeah, why?
It looks like
I kidnapped you in your sleep.
You are kidnapping me.
But you're right.
I'll go change.
You stay right here.
I'll just take a minute.
Wait right here. I'll be back.
So sweet.
Nammo, why did you send
Shreya to my house?
I'm with Prem and Suman right now,
so bye.
Sir, bye.
Amul's milk is ready.
Diaper has been changed.
I'll take your leave.
See you in the evening.
No. Hold on. How can you just leave?
How? I'll take my bike.
No, I mean,
how can you leave without informing me?
But, sir,
I told you that I don't work on Sundays.
Hold on a second.
But you joined on Wednesday.
And holiday on Sunday?
Even you joined on Tuesday.
Holiday on Sunday?
I get it. But listen to me.
I really need you today. Please, don't go.
Listen, I'm going. Don't stop me.
What do you mean?
What's so important? Do you have a date?
Can't tell. It is personal.
-Did you carry protection?
-Protection?
What do I need protection from, sir?
I can finish four men like you
with one arm.
-That's not what I meant. Enjoy.
-Okay.
Shreya, this is Parbat. He's a manny.
-Male nanny. Manny.
-Hello.
Hello. Whose manny? Yours?
I'm a grownup now.
Amul's. His--
My friend's. My friend's manny.
-Pawan, right?
-Pawan's manny.
-What?
-Pawan's.
-Amul is Pawan sir's son?
-Yes, he is. You can go now.
You'll get stuck in traffic. Go on.
-Go. Enjoy.
-But you said, Amul is your--
I also told you to stay,
but you had to go.
Now, go!
Have fun. Enjoy.
Shreya, sorry. I couldn't openly talk
about Pawan in front of him.
But Pawan is an absolute mess.
His wife is even worse.
Between the two of them, I swear,
I think I am raising their kid.
I mean, why do people have kids
if they can't handle them?
The concept of parenting is lost on them.
That's my alarm.
Twinning with your friend's kid?
Yes. Actually,
matching clothes helps us bond better.
#TeamPapa-Nephew. I mean, "Uncle-Nephew."
Cute.
Hi.
Are you applying the cream?
Yes, yes, two times a day.
Look, the redness has gone,
fairness is back.
I meet so many kids,
but Amul has to be the cutest of them.
Cute, he definitely is.
I see red cheeks.
Really? They look fine.
I'm talking about your cheeks.
You are blushing as if Amul is your kid.
Yes. Yes?
Amul is your baby, right?
How did she know?
Gaurav, I have an IQ of 140.
I am a doctor,
and you should never lie to a doctor.
So, be honest now.
So, the Gehlot family
has already rejected this news.
Then there's your family.
They are so conservative,
that we feel liberal in comparison.
My parents were really afraid
that if Amul's news became public,
the Aggarwals might cancel
Goldie and Namrata's wedding.
Hence, all the lies and secrecy.
Otherwise, I would be shouting
from the rooftops that Amul is my kid.
Right?
-Plates?
-Down there.
You're right.
My family is conservative Pro Max.
I wish they could be more proud of me
being a doctor,
and less ashamed of me being divorced.
No one has ever said it to me,
but I know that they believe
that my education
is the cause of my divorce.
By that logic, as a twelfth pass myself,
my marriage should have lasted
at least 15-20 years.
It's so nice to see
a non-judgmental North-Indian boy.
So rare, no?
Rare?
We are an extinct species.
That's all we girls want.
A "live-and-let-live" kinda guy.
Girls…
or you?
By the way,
now that I know you have adopted a baby,
I find you even cuter.
I mean, we girls do.
I see.
Then go and tell those girls…
that you are very cute, too.
I'll check.
-Hi.
-Appu?
I've been calling you.
Sorry, I came over without informing you.
-But we need to discuss the launch plan.
-I have a lunch plan with you too?
-Not lunch, launch.
-Which--
-Gaurav.
-Hi. Shreya. Dr. Shreya.
She… is Amul's doctor.
Hello.
-Home visit?
-No.
This is my home, so she's here
to visit the home. She is Amul's doctor.
I am Aparna Sharma, Gaurav's ex-wife.
Shreya Agarwal.
And in addition to being Amul's doctor,
I am also Namrata's future sister-in-law.
So you're going to be family.
His family.
He forgets to mention the important stuff.
Yes, he does.
-Like you being his ex-wife.
-I was not going to tell you.
I mean, no, I was going to tell you.
I was.
-When?
-To whom?
I…
-I should go.
-No, you stay. I should go.
I should go. Amul is crying.
I should check on him.
-Gaurav, listen.
-I'll be back. Amul is crying.
So, what do you do?
I sell shampoos and soaps.
I work in advertising.
-Interesting.
-Interesting.
-Tea, coffee, green tea?
-Washroom, actually.
Here. Take a right.
Lights are behind the door.
-You know this house pretty well.
-Yeah, it's my house.
I mean, it was, when we were married.
Right.
That's it. Dad will be back, okay?
Actually, Amul had peed. He's okay now.
Did Shreya leave?
-Washroom.
-Okay.
-Hooking up with Namrata's sister-in-law?
-Hook up?
No. What did she tell you?
I'm not doing anything. I swear.
-We are divorced. You can tell me.
-But there's nothing to tell you.
Nothing happened. Really.
Don't think like that.
-Otherwise, these things, they fester.
-I'll be off now.
Yeah, so he peed. Okay, I'll see her off.
I'll walk you out.
I'll be back.
It was nice meeting you.
Likewise.
Interesting.
Hey, Shreya.
Are you still involved with you ex-wife?
Not at all.
Actually, we are working together.
That's why she came.
Gaurav, actually,
I'm a very straight-forward person.
I don't like triangles.
I like straight lines.
So, if you are involved with her,
it's fine.
You can tell me.
I mean, we are friends.
She is my ex-wife,
so there's a certain comfort level.
But only friendship.
-Okay. See you.
-Bye.
Drive safe.
He's asleep.
I had a really good day with Amul.
-I know, right?
-He's so cute!
I know.
Even I had a good day…
with you.
I'll go see.
I will break this doorbell.
You?
Surprise inspection, Mr. Gehlot.
Is it the day of surprises? Back to back.
Hold on, madam.
How can you show up without any notice?
That's literally the definition
of a surprise visit.
But…
-Where is Amul?
-He's out, playing football.
Very funny.
Come on, madam.
He's a child. He'll be in his room.
-Hello. Madam, this is Aparna, my…
-Hi. Ex-wife.
We have met during your testimonials.
All right. Yes.
-I think I'm here at a wrong time.
-Yes.
No, not at all. Actually,
I was about to leave, Bye, Gaurav.
Bye, Aparna.
Ma'am, please come in.
He's asleep, but you can take a look.
Now that you're here. Come.
He just slept some time ago.
He eats and sleeps on time.
Pees and poops on time.
He's asleep. We can lower our voices.
He has gained a kilo in the last 15 days.
AC is temperature controlled,
so that he stays comfortable.
Baby proofing is exactly the same.
The house is cleaned twice a day,
specially his room.
If you had called me,
I could just send you a video.
-You didn't have to come.
-No.
Anyway, come.
The house is spotless.
-Congrats on the new job, Mr. Gehlot.
-Thank you so much, ma'am.
-Did you hire a nanny?
-Yes.
With God's grace,
I found such a great nanny,
I can't begin to tell you.
Where is she?
The nanny? She just went out.
To buy vegetables.
-What's her name?
-Parbat… Parvati.
-Full name?
-Parvati Singh.
Female?
Ma'am, gender is a very sensitive topic
these days, so I didn't ask.
Who is Parbat Singh, then?
Parbat Singh? I don't know.
-No one here, madam.
-No one?
Someone's at the door.
I will hang myself on this door tonight.
Who is it now?
Yes?
-What's the matter? So happy to see me?
-Why?
Parvati?
I am Parbat Singh. And you?
But you're a man.
What do you mean?
How can you decide that he's a man?
I was a man the last time I checked.
Gaurav, you hired a male nanny for Amul?
I don't want any more experiments
with that child!
What do you not understand?
He already has a man in his life.
He needs a woman's touch.
Please, hear me.
-What is a woman's touch?
-Parbat, please.
Hold on, sir. I want to understand this.
What is a woman's touch?
Taking care of a child, looking after him,
hugging him, caressing him when he cries,
loving him.
I do all those things.
Just take a look at Amul.
He is such a healthy and happy kid.
You are right, Parbat.
Madam, he's absolutely right.
Gaurav, I want someone conventional
for Amul. Simple.
Ma'am, you don't get it.
There are absolutely no nannies available.
What should I do?
Okay. Come to the orphanage tomorrow.
I will arrange someone for you. Okay?
Thank you very much.
Parbat bhaiyya.
Please close the door.
And please throw that doorbell away!
I'm done.
This is Shobha.
She has almost 15 years of experience.
I hired her for Shlok, too.
Don't worry.
Your child will be in good hands.
Shobha, take good care of Amul.
And I'll come over
at the time of your handover.
Okay.
Mr. Gehlot?
Yes?
Yes, you can join from tomorrow.
Thank you.
Aparna has created this presentation
after some serious blue-sky thinking.
Hey!
Amul!
-Parbat, are you all right?
-Yes, I'm okay.
You asshole. Come out, you jerk!
Are you blind? Can't you…
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Hello, Uncle-ji! If you can't drive,
just return your license.
I'm really sorry.
My child!
-Are you okay?
-Yes. What can happen to me?
I am a giant.
You are not a giant. You are our mountain.
Thank you, Parbat bhaiyya.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, bhaiyya.
I have jotted down the schedule.
Please change his diaper
at 3:00 AM.
-Why at 3:00 AM?
-He wakes up at 3:00 AM for milk.
I'm making a mistake, bro.
Ma'am.
Well, you found us a solution.
I mean, you're an angel.
Were you born with a halo around you?
There's no need to butter me up.
No, no. I was just…
Okay, Mr. Gaurav, I'll take your leave.
Our time together was short,
but very sweet.
You saw a manny like me
for the first time.
And I saw a single papa like you
for the first time.
Can I say something?
You're a great single papa!
Mr. Mountain. Come on,
or you will miss your train.
Let's go. Come on.
Hey, Amul.
Parbat Singh, signing off.
Gaurav, I'm glad you listened to me.
I can finally see us
being on the same page.
What's good for Amul, what's not,
you have started understanding it now.
It's nice.
Parbat bhaiyya, hold on.
You're not going anywhere. Take that off.
You will be my son's permanent manny.
Please take all your things inside.
Have you lost it?
Didn't I explain it to you?
Why do you want him as your nanny?
Because I want my son to grow up
around his maternal manliness.
How does it matter, madam,
male or female, maternal or paternal?
They both mean love.
Love is about equality,
not discrimination.
Their love might be similar,
but Amul needs a woman's care.
Care?
Ma'am, he wakes up every 10 minutes
to check on Amul's diaper.
He sleeps after Amul goes to bed,
he wakes up before Amul rises.
He jumped in front of a car to save Amul,
without any regard for his own safety.
Do you realize that this decision
can impact your case?
Ma'am, we'll see what happens.
Because, right now,
I'm not thinking about my case.
I'm just thinking about my son.
Gaurav, be careful.
You could lose Amul because of Parbat.
I can't let the fear of losing him
affect Amul's well-being.
Shobha, let's go.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
I thought you wouldn't stop me.
Look, Parbat, your Amul is crying.
Now I can't handle both of you crying.
So, pick up your bags.
Actually, you handle Amul,
I'll take the bags.
-I'll take them.
-I'll do it. You take Amul.
Okay, I'll take Amul.
Papa's coming!
We are getting married this weekend.
So, technically,
this is our last dinner as single people.
I wanted to make it something special.
In the era of nanoships,
you are my old-school romance, baby.
Can't wait to spend my life with you.
Just a few more days, and then,
we will be far away from all the lies,
bullshit secrets, unnecessary drama,
chilling on the white sands of Maldives.
Our honeymoon is going to be--
Shit!
No, it will be epic.
Hold the menu. Hide.
We already decided to order our regular.
What are you doing?
Namrata, Gaurav's sister.
Hello, ma'am, what a pleasant surprise!
Are you here for dinner?
No, to wash the dishes.
Obviously, I'm here for dinner.
You shouldn't have.
It's a terrible place.
We were about to leave.
Won't you introduce me
to your handsome friend?
This one, handsome?
Ma'am, get your eyesight checked.
Anyway, there's no need
to introduce everyone.
I'm anyone?
You're not anyone, you're…
No one. Okay? Just a random friend.
Random? Friend?
Where did you meet this random friend?
On Bhatinder.
It's a famous hookup app in Bhatinda.
So, you became friends after the hookup?
-Actually, we are more than friends.
-Correct.
We are friends with benefits.
Baby?
Baby, we are getting married?
Marriage? Are you crazy?
Never!
-Don't get too clingy, okay?
-What?
Anyway, I'm not the marriage types.
I use men.
Everyone knows that I will never
get married in my life. Ever.
Everyone, except me, apparently.
She's right. Marriage is useless.
Namrata, enjoy your meal
with you random friend.
Yeah.
-Have a good evening.
-You, too.
-Bye.
-Bye.
If you didn't want to get married,
why did you--
That was Mrs. Nehra.
Mrs. Nehra, who?
Is she a relative of Ashish Nehra?
Goldie.
Mrs. Nehra?
Mrs. Nehra. We are not getting married!
What will happen to Amul now?
