The world is changing, and along with it so is the perception of family. Families these days don't just include a mother, father, grandparents and siblings, but also step-mothers, step-fathers, step-siblings and whole new set of relationships that come with them. To appreciate the beauty of such relations, National Step Family Day is celebrated on the 16th of September. Keeping with the theme, BollyCurry brings to you some of the popular step-parents in Bollywood and their relationships with their step-children.

Unlike the previous relationships explored in this article, Arjun Kapoor and doesn't share a very loving relationship with his step mother, Sridevi Kapoor. He has gone on record, however, to talk about how he respects her for being his father's wife, and is very happy that his father, Boney Kapoor, is in a happy space with Sridevi and their two daughters, Jhanvi and Khushi.
Along with the ones mentioned above,
there
are various other examples of loving step parents and step children in
Bollywood which serve to prove to the world that the traditional type of
family is not the
only type of family. Familial ties are much stronger than blood ties;
all one needs is an open-minded attitude towards the new family and
respect in the heart. With this, we at BollyCurry wish all our readers a
very happy National Step Family Day. Let us use this day to overcome
the challenge of stepfamilies and live like a happy family instead!
