About the Book

How easy or difficult is it to be a single father in India?
How does the world react when a Bollywood celebrity becomes the first man to have a child via surrogacy?

1998
A superstar dad
A successful sister
A growing production empire

Yet a young Tusshar Kapoor was sitting far away from the arc lights in the US, working as a financial analyst, until circumstances led him to return to India to pursue a career in entertainment.

Little did he know that a totally different journey was awaiting him in the years to come; that he would make a life altering choice while on a car journey that would eventually make him India's first celebrity single dad.

Written in a frank, fun, no-holds-barred and incisive first-person narrative, Tusshar reveals interesting childhood anecdotes, the process of raising a child as a single man in India, how the search for the perfect soulmate doesn't stop after having a child and finally how, his son, Laksshya, changed his life forever.
