Sonam Kapoor loves Shahid Kapoor in uniform and sporting a moustache. The actor, who plays a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force, Squadron Leader Harvinder (Harry), in his father, Pankaj Kapur’s directorial debut Mausam, needed to grow a
mouchi

And Sonam, who for a large part of the making of the movie always saw him with it, was horrified the day he shaved it off. “I pleaded with him to grow it back since he looked so good with a moustache,” she laughs. “Dad was dashing in a uniform and a moustache in Pukar (2000), Shahid is second only to him.”
Shrugging off rumours of a cold war that has only recently defrosted, Sonam, who plays a Kashmiri refugee, Aayat, whose love story with Harry spans a decade, points out that she doesn’t make friends easily. “On the sets, I like to sit in a corner with a book. Shahid had to really make an effort to draw me out,” she reminisces. “He used to joke that I was the first heroine who not only didn’t flirt with him, but didn’t even want to talk to him.”
In keeping with his on-screen image of an officer and a gentleman, Sonam insists that Shahid is a nice, well-behaved boy in real life too, and is easy to work with. However, she laughingly admits that her co-star is beginning to regret making her a friend: “He says that I nag him so much now that it would have been better had he left me alone.”
