Sonam Kapoor will not kiss her Mausam co-star Shahid Kapoor and was shocked when she was asked to do so at the last minute in Scotland timetable.It took her completely unaware as there had been no talk of any kissing scene when she signed on. She was never told that there would be a liplock with Shahid. No mention of it was made even during the detailed script narratives.
Says a unit source, "Sonam was amazed when the director (and co-star Shahid's father Pankaj) told her about it. She rejected outright."
There was great drama on the set with Pankaj frantically calling Sonam's father Anil in desperation to save the situation. But the actress was adamant.
Adds the source, "It was Shahid's instigation that a kissing scene was created. He put forward the idea for his father, who respected his request. Shahid believes that like Aamir Khan, he also had to kiss all his heroines. He felt that it would add more passion for the scene. "
Sonam insists, "There was no kissing scene in Mausam. It is complete fabrication that I refused to do such a scene."
But the source says, "When Sonam realized that it was her hero's demand, she became even more adamant about not doing the kiss and was in no mood to listen to anyone about the subject."
