Single Papa (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

Papa bola

"Shree Ganeshaya Namah.
Mr. Jatin Gehlot and Mrs. Poonam Gehlot
cordially invite you
to grace the wedding of their daughter,
Ayu. Namrata Gehlot
with Chi. Anand Aggarwal."
-What's "Ayu" and "Chi"?
-Ayushmati and Chiranjeevi.
That's all okay, but this Anand,
who it is?
Anand? Mummy, that's Goldie's real name.
And enough with the English.
What's happening?
Okay, okay.
"Chi. Anand Aggarwal,
Son of Mr. Prem and Mrs. Suman Aggarwal,
on Saturday, 14th September, 2025.
With best compliments from Gaurav…"
"With best compliments
from Gaurav Gehlot."
You know what? I've had enough.
Papa's acting up.
You're in a different zone.
I'm getting married,
and I'm not enjoying it at all!
-Get up.
-Where are we going?
-We are going out. Come on.
-But why?
I'll tell you. Come on.
Bhaiya, come out.
-Gaurav bhaiya.
-No shouting, Nammo. We have neighbors.
Bhaiya!
Oh, bhaiya, come out
Here I am
Tell me.
Look what I have to do
to speak to you guys together.
You and your inflated egos.
Please, Nammo.
Don't compare my ego to their male egos.
Will you let me speak,
or should I raise my hand
like the feature in zoom call?
Listen, I'm getting married,
and I'm not happy at all.
What happened?
Did Goldie say something to you?
-I am unhappy because of you, Papa.
-You see?
Both your kids are unhappy because of you.
And you too, bhaiya.
What have I done?
I was just unloading your wedding invites.
Please, shut up and listen.
I'm getting married
and my brother isn't at home.
I'm getting married,
but everyone's focus is on my brother.
What do I have to do
to shift the spotlight on myself?
Should I get "Main Character Energy"
embroidered on my wedding gown?
I am confused.
-You want your brother or attention?
-I want both. I'm the bride, guys.
I want to be the centre of attention,
and I want my entire family.
I can't get married like this.
Bhaiya, listen. Enough drama.
Come home.
"Come home"?
I would come back
if I had left voluntarily.
I was kicked out.
You guys need to understand this.
If you love me, even a little,
you need to surrender your arms,
and stop acting like gangsters.
No. Absolutely not.
Okay. Ultimatum time.
Mummy, Papa, if you don't call him back,
I won't get married.
And if my marriage
gets canceled the second time…
You will be socially boycotted
across Buckingham Palaces.
Look, Nammo.
They might not understand this, but I do.
And I'm ready to come back,
but I won't be alone.
If I come back,
my son, Amul, comes with me.
What? Nammo, if he brings the baby,
how will we explain it to your in-laws?
We'll make something up.
You call him back, or I'll call Goldie.
No, no! Guggu, come in. Come.
Okay, bring the baby, too.
-You tell.
-If he come, he come.
Wow, English?
Just two lines?
Your status updates go on for pages.
But, anyway…
Nammo, you are my sister and I love you.
So, I will come because of your wedding.
But yeah, Parbat bhaiya will come
with me and Amul.
And he come, he big. He eat lot.
Look.
Hey.
-Will you come to aunty?
-Go, son.
Well done.
This is a forced hug. Couldn't resist.
Here's another forced hug.
Mishra, where the hell are you?
I've been waiting outside your gate.
We're late for our walk, man.
-Brother, I'm not at home.
-What?
I have shifted to
an old-age home in Gurgaon.
I see.
Stop staring. Your eyes will pop out.
What happened to your "full control"
over your family?
We were having space issues in the house.
Oh, I see.
Space issues in such a huge house?
Look how spacious this place is.
So open, so nice.
Everyone is really caring.
And did you see that nurse?
Doesn't she look like Hema Malini?
Stop fangirling on Hema Malini.
You idiot, why didn't you tell me
that this was happening at your house?
I was embarrassed.
I transferred my house in my son's name.
I thought he's my real son, my blood.
There is no such thing as a blood bond.
Bonding comes from the heart.
Take my advice.
Embrace Gaurav and his son.
The greatest thing in the world is love,
even greater than blood.
Nothing is more valuable, my friend.
Come on.
Get up.
I'll straighten out your son.
He can't do this to you.
Let it go, man.
Hey, it's your house, they stay in it.
Not the other way round. Come.
-Hey, I'm okay.
-Stand up.
-I'm absolutely fine here, man.
-Let's go.
Please don't.
You asshole,
how dare you kick your father out?
This is our family matter.
You have no right to interfere.
Oh, I have no right to interfere, is it?
Do you have no shame?
This is the man who built this house,
brick by brick,
and you kicked him out?
Uncle, I am respectful of your age, but
won't listen to anything you have to say.
-Get out of here, or else…
-Or else? Hold on.
What will you do? Will you hit me? Yeah?
-I will.
-You motherfucker!
Stop Gaurav, please.
Leave him, son. Leave him.
APARNA
GAURAV, WHERE ARE YOU?
So, where is the presentation, Aparna?
Actually, a colleague was helping me.
Maybe your colleague
should make the next presentation.
I'm so sorry, Ayaan.
Just give me a minute. One minute.
I'm so sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm letting you off with a warning.
Next time, you'll be in jail.
And listen,
if you kick your father out again,
I will file a case and beat you to a pulp.
I made a mistake, sir.
It won't happen again.
Leave.
I'm really sorry, it's a bit delayed.
I just need a little more time.
-Actually…
-Highly unprofessional of you.
I didn't expect this from you.
Ayaan, can we reschedule it?
Sorry, Uncle.
Sorry, Papa.
Please, come back home.
The number you have dialled is busy.
Please try…
Papa, I'll drop you home.
I need to rush.
I'm terribly late for office.
Appu, I'm very sorry.
Please, hear me out.
-It was so chaotic.
-I don't wanna hear it.
Appu, I was at the police station.
Why are you so dramatic?
If you were stuck somewhere,
you could just send me the presentation.
You know, this whole thing of
working together and recommending you,
I shouldn't have done it.
Gaurav, it was the worst day of my life.
You are really irresponsible.
I'm going through so much because of you.
Visits to the priest, therapy sessions.
I don't know what's going on.
Don't worry, I didn't mention your name.
I don't want Amul's papa to be jobless.
So, you feel free
to connect with him later.
Papa,
did you thank bhaiyya
for everything he did today?
-Why?
-Why should I thank my own son?
That makes no sense.
-Bhaiya?
-Yeah?
What?
-Say thank you.
-What?
There's no need to do that, Papa.
It's needed.
Papa, you owe him a thank you.
From the heart, not just for show.
Okay. Thank you.
No, Papa, there's really no need for that.
Why are you frowning like that?
Say it nicely. Hug each other.
Hey, what's wrong with you?
"Hug each other"? Is this some festival?
It's enough that he said that.
He's also refusing. So, let it go now.
You're so stubborn.
Why are you so afraid of intimacy?
Who is Macy?
I'm not afraid of any Macy.
Not "Macy," intimacy.
It means emotional attachment.
Forget it. Now, hug.
-But why?
-Why? Because, he is your son.
Is that a reason to hug?
I would understand if someone had died,
or someone was hurt.
No, Papa, now. Come on.
And I can see you're trying to avoid this.
-Man.
-What's wrong with you?
-Come on!
-Come on, she won't give up.
-Okay? Happy?
-Now, stay alone.
What was that? Do it properly.
-You're really annoying me now.
-Stop being such a bossy bride!
I'll die if you don't do it.
-What is this, Nammo?
-Come on.
Okay, fine.
Thank you, my son.
Thank you.
Papa, I had more punches in me.
But the cops busted the show.
So?
How did it feel to
express your feelings for the first time?
-It's a beautiful feeling.
-It did feel good.
But, Papa, it feels so great
to be drinking with you.
And with you, too. Cheers!
Guggu. Nammo.
Your mother is going to leave me.
Where is she going?
Does mumma have a serious ailment?
No no…
Infact she has seriously fallen in love.
I really think that
Poonam will divorce me…
after your wedding.
Papa, please stop drinking. You're drunk.
You don't know what you're saying.
That's the sad part.
I am not drunk at all.
Papa, there must be a misunderstanding.
-I'll talk to Mumma right now.
-No, it's too late now.
Your mom is drowning in his love.
He has changed my Poonam into Poons.
Papa, what happened?
Did Mumma say something to you?
She is still respectful of me.
She won't say anything.
-Then, who is instigating you?
-No one is!
I've seen it with my own eyes.
She goes to a hotel to see him.
Is this why you've been sharing
all those heart-break status updates?
And Mumma had a makeover,
and her haircut--
Shut up!
Papa, go and talk to Mumma right now,
or I will!
Hold your horses.
I don't want any drama
before Nammo's wedding.
-We will talk after the wedding.
-No, I'm not waiting till then.
-I'm going to Mumma.
-Don't you dare!
No one will speak to her except me.
And I want to make myself very clear,
you guys will behave normally around her
until the wedding.
That's not fair.
You are sworn to secrecy.
At least she's happy with that guy.
Guggu, Nammo, we have a wedding to get to!
Where is everyone?
Baahubali! Gauravendra Baahubali!
-You are drunk. Give me the child.
-I'm not drunk at all.
Papa.
What did you say?
Hey, shut it down.
-Say it again.
-Papa.
Papa.
Hey, he said "Papa"!
My son called me "Papa."
He said "Papa."
Everyone should remember this moment.
On the eve of 13 September,
Gaurav Gehlot's son, Amul Gehlot,
called him Papa for the first time.
What do you mean, he called you "Papa"?
Why did he call you "Papa"?
Is Amul your child?
Yes.
Amul is my brother's son.
-Nammo, please.
-Mumma, please.
I can't start this marriage with lies.
Yes.
Amul is my son, and I am his single Papa.
Single Papa?
I picked him up.
Yes, we can see
that you have taken him in your arms.
He means that he has adopted him.
And I have fully supported him in this.
Amul is my responsibility too.
Wow, you have taken responsibility?
Forget seeking our permission,
you didn't even bother telling us.
I wouldn't even breathe
without my mother-in-law's permission.
"Mom, should I breathe deeply or softly?"
You have betrayed us, Mr. Gehlot.
And your daughter has betrayed our son!
Goldie…
have I betrayed you?
Tell them that you knew everything.
What? You knew about this?
I told you guys to wait.
But no, you kept on lying.
We only lied because of your family.
And you were part of the lie too.
No, I only lied for you.
Oh, please.
The truth is that you are scared of them.
Why don't you tell them
that you're not anti-adoption?
Mute again?
If not for me,
at least stand up for yourself, Goldie.
My stand is clear.
I won't go against my family.
I thought I was your family too.
Please, forgive us, we are sorry.
Forgive you?
You mean, accept this child?
Tell me, Gaurav.
If something were to happen to you,
who will be responsible for the child?
Namrata and Goldie.
We should have cut our ties
the day he brought in the paternity case!
Don't you worry.
It's not too late to break ties now.
We are tired of your venomous insults.
"A girl from the Jat family."
-"Inter-caste marriage."
-Please.
-No one will marry our daughter.
-Then so be it!
She is my daughter.
I will be her lifelong support.
And girls are not a burden.
They are a blessing.
Come on, Gehlots, let's get out of here.
-Will you come?
-Come on, Poonam.
-Mummy!
-Suman-ji!
-Mummy! Mummy!
-Suman-ji.
She was always so cheerful.
She kept everyone happy.
And look at her now. So lifeless.
My Suman.
She is alive. Don't worry.
Is her BP okay?
BP is normal.
Chachi is not in such a serious condition.
Uncle is totally overreacting.
-What?
-Water?
She's hydration-queen, she's on her phone.
You sisters are… I don't want it.
Is this the time to have tea?
Oh, man! What is it?
Sir, all the guests are in a bad mood.
So, should I open the food counter?
Sure. Serve it on my head.
Read the room, Pahuja.
-The wedding is on hold.
-On hold?
It's not on hold, it's off.
It's cancelled. Go, make the announcement.
-Me?
-Who else? Me?
Bro, please, go and handle the guests.
I'll handle it here.
Come on, do it, please.
Let's go.
Hold on!
Dear guests…
it pains me to inform you
that this wedding has been cancelled.
-Cancel?
-Yes, Uncle.
Couldn't you do this
before we gave our gifts?
Thank you for your feedback, Uncle.
But there will be no food.
Gupta Uncle, please leave the bar.
It's not going to open.
We are very sorry. Sorry.
Nammo, I'm very sorry.
This is all because of me.
It's okay.
What if I couldn't be a wife?
At least I can be Amul's aunt!
Sir, Amul is really warm. Please check.
What happened?
What happened to you? Oh, my baby.
Poor baby couldn't handle
so much negativity.
Parbat, there is a Calpol 250 in my bag,
please bring it.
Hey, li'l one, it's okay.
It's all gonna be okay.
Hold on a second.
Please take him.
Hold on.
Shreya is calling.
Answer it.
I'll answer it.
Hey, Shreya, is Aunty conscious now?
No, not yet.
But listen, Goldie has just stepped out.
If you want to talk to him,
this is your last chance.
Yes, I'll talk to him. Thank you!
Bro, I sent the guests away.
Wedding cancelled.
What? It's not cancelled.
This is a ceasefire.
I'm going to talk to Goldie.
Don't let any guest leave.
-Hold them back.
-Why can't you guys take one side?
Guests, hold on!
Stop. Hold your suitcases.
The wedding is not fully cancelled!
We are in a ceasefire situation.
Let the music begin!
Hey, Goldie. Listen to me.
Look, do you love Nammo or not?
-Bhaiya, please, I…
-Hey, you call me your brother, right?
Now listen to your brother.
If you love her, then stand your ground.
-No…
-You don't love her?
-I can't stand my ground, bhaiya.
-Why not, bro?
Look at me. Learn from me.
Goldie, I used to live my life
like a to-do list.
Get married at 28,
first kid at 30, second kid at 32.
And where did that get me?
Bro, even my wife left me.
And then, I found this tiny baby
in a cardboard box.
-Yes.
-And he changed my life, bro.
I fell in love with him.
You know, I was so scared to adopt him.
Everyone was against me.
But Amul taught me
that love
is worth standing your ground for.
It really is.
Look, everyone has cancelled your wedding.
But I'm here to beg you.
Because, bro, even you know
that Nammo was only lying for me.
You lied, too. You both did this for me,
I know that.
That's why I'm ready to kneel down
and beg everyone else.
But I need your support.
Look, I know that you're nervous.
You are scared. I was scared, too.
You are afraid
that your family won't accept this.
Trust me,
everyone gets onboard eventually.
Don't worry. Just fight for it this time.
Otherwise, you will hate yourself forever.
Goldie, stand your ground!
-I can't stand, bhaiya.
-Why can't you?
-I can't stand. Please, leave my arm.
-Goldie, Aunty is conscious.
-Wow, she's conscious!
-Why are you dancing?
-He's happy because Aunty is conscious.
-Leave my arm, bro.
My bladder is about to burst.
This is crazy.
Papa has captured the toilet inside,
and you have kidnapped me here.
I'll pee in my pants!
Bro, lighten up and think about it.
VISHWAS
I AM COMING INSIDE.
Vishwas ji, after BKG,
you are the only man I trust.
Of course, Poonam ji.
I am always here for BKG's disciples.
What's the matter, Papa?
I'm looking at the housebreaker.
That's your mom's lover.
Is that international?
No, domestic.
He looks like a foreigner,
but he is a local.
I am full to the brim, Papa.
Just take your promise back.
I will thrash the shit out of him.
Gehlots are really struggling
in the marriage department.
Please, help me.
My daughter's wedding has been called off.
Again.
Poonam ji, it's okay.
BKG's disciples never give up.
-It was called off again.
-Wipe your tears. Come on.
Wipe your tears.
Papa, I don't care about your promise.
I'm going to kill him!
-Bro!
-GG!
A man reaches such a crossroad
only once in his lifetime.
Take me for example.
It has been so many years.
I am living without a wife.
You will get used to it.
Just get it done.
Hold on, bro. He looks so frail already.
He might really die from this.
No one will interfere.
I will speak to her.
Poons, say me.
Going where?
I'm… actually…
I… Me… That… Me…
I know everything.
-About what?
-About him.
I was going to tell you--
What do you have to say?
That you have betrayed my trust?
I knew this is how you'd react.
This is exactly why I kept it a secret.
How else should I react?
Should I applaud you?
Ask the kids.
I've been sobbing like a baby.
How else should a man react
to his wife having an affair?
-Affair?
-Affair?
-Gehlot sahab.
-Yes.
I'm BKG's secretary.
Bro, I don't care whose secretary you are.
It's BKG.
Brahmand Ke Guruji.
Meenu introduced me to them.
I kept it a secret
because I know
you don't like such superstitions.
Is that the truth?
Swear on me.
I swear on you.
I made such a big mistake.
-I should have never doubted you.
-I know.
-Sorry.
-It's okay.
So sorry.
-Stop.
-Stop.
Nams!
Nams!
I took a stand.
I gave them an ultimatum.
It's either Nammo, or no more.
I told them that if I don't marry you,
I won't marry anyone else.
Our love was more powerful
than their stubbornness, and they agreed!
They agreed!
And Gaurav bhaiya.
Here you go, I stood my ground.
Your timing was terrible,
but the speech was powerful.
That's my boy!
Look, Nammo, I am so sorry.
But I stood my ground.
It took time, it took time,
but next time--
I get it, you stood your ground.
Now forget about this.
Let's focus on the wedding.
The wedding is on?
The wedding is on, but…
without this.
-Is it on? Are we sure?
-It's on!
Nobody can leave!
The wedding is back on.
The bride and the groom are here,
say, "Wow!"
Gehlot sahab, let bygones be bygones.
We just want our kids to be happy.
Oh, forget it ever happened.
Changing perspectives takes its own time.
Go, and flood the halls
with mojitos and vodka shots!
Let's dance!
Please stand up for the rituals.
-Amul, go to Parbat bhaiya.
-Go to bhaiya.
Bhaiya!
#NamGotGold?
You lied to the committee
that Namrata will never get married.
I'm gonna make this quick.
I don't want to create a scene.
Please, hand over the child.
You are making a huge mistake, madam.
This family is perfect for this child.
I am politely requesting you.
Please handover the kid to me.
We won't give him. Do what you have to.
Don't interfere in a police proceeding.
Parbat bhaiya, hold on, step aside.
Mr. Gehlot.
What are you doing?
Driver, take me to Sneh Bhavan.
Stop.
-Mr. Gehlot.
-Sorry, ma'am.
I'm only here
to give some of Amul's things.
This is his blanket.
He doesn't sleep without it.
He is teething right now,
so he's a little cranky.
This is his elephant teether.
This will help.
Due to the teething, he also has a fever.
Only give him Calpol 250.
Calpol 120 doesn't work on him.
If the fever doesn't break till tomorrow,
Dr. Shreya is his pediatrician.
I have already sent you her number.
I have started an SIP in his name.
It will go on till he's 18.
Please, let it stay active.
I will send you the details.
If he can't sleep at night,
he likes to hear a lullaby.
Papa.
The lullaby…
Driver, let's go.
Mr. Gehlot.
Let's start over.
I forgive you. You adopt him.
Gaurav, you win.
I lose.
But I feel happy about losing this way.
Congratulations.
You know, it is very common
for a newborn's first words to be "Maa."
But his first words were "Papa."
And if Amul has already made his decision,
who am I to stop him?
So, Amul is now AG, son of GG?
Nephew of NG.
And grandson of JG.
And PG also.
You all might have a PG-13 IQ,
but your EQ…
is excellent.
In fact, it's much higher than mine.
I always follow the rule book.
And you guys broke all the rules.
But today I realised that it's better
to break rules than to break hearts.
Thank you so much.
You don't have to thank me.
I was never against you.
I was just doing my duty.
I just wanted the best for Amul.
And that's you.
You are also the best.
That's true.
And that's why, I will keep an eye on you
even after the adoption is legal.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
