To pause all physics and all movement in your game, you have to use Time.deltaTime in your scripts. It would be equal proportional to your framerate and your timescale http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation//ScriptReference/Time-deltaTime.html

Time.timeScale affects eveything releated with timeScale.

In your situation you can create a coroutine and return 1 yeild before setting timescale to 0.

Something like that. (I have written it with notepad so there might be syntax errors.But the logic should be the same.) Hope this helps. :)

 IEnumarator WaitAndPause()
 {
     yield return null;
     Time.timeScale = 0;
 }
 
 void Start()
 {
     StartCorotuine("WaitAndPause");
 }
