Shahid and Sonam Kapoor on Kaun Banega Crorepati 5

The popularity of feature films notwithstanding, television remains the biggest medium of entertainment and advertisement in India. This is a fact well understood by Bollywood producers and nowadays one often sees film stars appearing on popular television shows. Whether it is Salman Khan performing a Garba with Daya Bhabhi on ‘Tarak Mehta Ka Oolta Chashma’ or John Abraham wooing the bindas Haryanvi cop Chandramukhi Chautala on ‘FIR’, it is becoming increasingly essential for films to be publicised on the small screen.

In keeping with this trend, actors Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor; the hot new couple of ‘Mausam’, will soon feature in a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 5. The popular quiz show has consciously broadened its platform this time to reach out to the audiences in remotest parts of India. Obviously, featuring on the show will accrue some positive publicity for Shahid – Sonam and their film. So excited was Sonam about being a part of the legendary show that she even posted on twitter, "Doing #kbc with @shahidkapoor today! What an auspicious day to start promotions together..,"

‘Mausam’ marks the start of Pankaj Kapur’s foray in the field of direction and is reported to have a time transcending storyline. The songs of the film have already become pretty popular and the chemistry between Sonam and Shahid is looking better and better with each promo.

While Shahid Kapoor has been linked to almost all his co-stars, all was quiet when he was shooting for his dad's Mausam. There were absolutely no stories of affairs or link ups with his co-star Sonam, who recently claimed on a televison show that she and Shahid share a love-hate relationship. And heaving a sigh of relief, Shahid, says, that they achieved something next to impossible, 


"Which was made possible. Somehow we managed it," he laughs.  But the two bonded famously. Shahid appreciated the fashionista's dress sense and apparently Sonam has lent her fashion designer Kunal Rawal to Shahid to design clothes for him, too. 


"Sonam is very sweet and talkative. Obviously we got friendly. Two people spending one-and-a-half year together..it is so difficult to not get friendly, na. 


She has done the most important film for me," 
says Shahid.  And Shahid denied rumours of Sonam reporting late on the sets, or throwing tantrums, or his director dad approaching 


Sonam's dad, actor Anil Kapoor to interfere to settle matters. Shahid says, sounding cheeky, "We will make another film on Sonam's tantrums, it will make for an entertaining script. Unfortunately it is all fiction and not real. There were no issues at all," he clarifies.
