She is a fan of classic romances of Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters and Sonam Kapoor says that portraying the coy beauty Ayaat, a Kashmiri girl, in 'Mausam' felt like being part of a period novel.
The 26-year-old also calls the film her first love story and her most difficult role so far. She stars opposite Shahid Kapoor in the movie, which got delayed by a week following objections from Indian Air Force regarding some action scenes. The film will release on September 23 now.
The actress, who is most remembered for her bubbly avatars of Bittu in 'Delhi 6' and 'Aisha', says 'Mausam', set 15-years back, reinstated her faith in love. "The character is complete opposite of who I am. It is very difficult to say something with just one look or one gesture. This is tough acting. My characters in Delhi 6 and Aisha were loud and had lots of props but this role was difficult," Sonam told PTI in an interview.
"I am a very romantic person and the film, which is about four seasons of love, reinstated my faith love. This is why when I was in Edinburgh, which is the second season in the movie, I felt like I was a part of Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights'," says Sonam.
Ever the romantic, the actress enjoyed the languidness and the innocence of her character in the movie. "My character in this film has a lot of depth, nobility and subtlety. Every tear and expression says something and if there is a line, it has to convey a wealth of meaning. I was like 'Nutan used to do it'. So I watched all the old movies of Nutan so that I could learn something from her," says the actress.
