Arjun
Rampal
would
be
seen
as
a
central
protagonist
in
We
Are
Family,
the
official
adaptation
of
Stepmom.
Though
the
actor
can't
help
but
sing
praises
of
this
Karan
Johar
production,
he
can't
forget
the
time
when
he
almost
skipped
watching
'Stepmom'.
The
story
dates
back
to
more
than
a
decade
when
this
tearjerker
starring
Julia
Roberts
and
Susan
Sarandon
had
just
released.
"I
wasn't
too
inclined
to
watch
the
film
actually.
It
just
wasn't
my
type.
I
was
young
and
melodrama
was
definitely
out
for
me.
I
was
planning
to
hang
out
with
my
friends
one
fine
morning
when
my
mom
sat
me
down
and
asked
me
to
watch
Stepmom",
Arjun
gets
nostalgic
as
he
remembers
how
emotionally
charged
his
mom
was
once
she
was
through
watching
the
film
for
the
first
time.
"She
wanted
to
watch
it
again
and
make
sure
that
I
give
her
company
this
time
around",
smiles
Arjun,
"I
wasn't
too
keen
but
once
I
sat
down
for
that,
I
was
in
tears
in
no
time.
It
was
a
really
moving
experience
as
it
taught
me
the
value
of
having
a
family.
There
were
so
many
messages
as
well."
And
what
were
they?
"That
hamaari
zindagi
mein
itne
saare
(in
our
life
we
have
so
many)
petty
issues
hote
hain
and
we
give
so
much
importance
to
them
when
actually
we
should
be
thinking
about
so
much
else
that
life
has
to
offer
to
us",
Arjun
gets
emotional
here,
"One
should
not
take
things
for
granted
and
instead
hold
each
other's
hands
in
times
of
crisis."
No
wonder,
Karan
Johar
too
shared
similar
emotions
when
the
final
cut
of
We
Are
Family
was
ready.
"Karan
said
a
very
nice
thing
when
he
came
out
of
the
first
screening.
He
said
that
audiences
will
cry
when
they
come
out
of
theaters
but
not
because
they
are
depressed
but
because
the
characters
are
so
refreshing
and
the
treatment
so
heart
warming.
You
feel
extremely
good
for
the
characters
once
the
film
ends",
concludes
Arjun.
