Stepmoms not always wicked witch: Arjun Rampal

Mumbai: Arjun Rampal, who plays a divorcee with three kids in his upcoming movie “We Are Family”, claims the film will break the image of the stepmom who is more often than not portrayed in a negative light in Hindi movies.

“It’s the children who suffer. You will see what happens to children and that’s the message we are going to give through the film. The film is about the whole dynamics of everything,” Arjun, 37, who himself comes from a broken family said.

My role's more complex than Kajol: Bebo
