Shahid's obsessed with his beard

But we wish he'd get rid of it

Apart from promoting his upcoming movie 'Badmaash Company', which is releasing May 7, Shahid Kapoor says he is obsessed with his beard nowadays.

"Doing my beard is my latest obsession. And I am doing it happily," Shahid told reporters in Delhi during the promotion of his film.

He is growing his beard for his father Pankaj Kapoor's directorial venture 'Mausam'. And even though he's obsessed with it, we've got to say once again that we are not too keen on the look. But Sasha has been thoroughly converted to a beard fan.

"Dad is being very kind to me for 'Mausam'. For now, he has just said - 'Grow your beard and promote 'Badmaash Company'. So I am just following his advice," he said.

After the release of 'Badmaash Company', in which he plays a young conman, Shahid will be heading to Scotland to shoot 'Mausam', in which he will be seen with Sonam Kapoor.
