Veteran TV and film actor Yusuf Husain has passed away. He was known for his roles in films, such as Dil Chahta Hai, Vivah, Shahid, Raees and Dhoom 2. This news was confirmed by his son-in-law and ace filmmaker Hansal Mehta.
Hansal Mehta took to his social media handle to condole the demise of his father-in-law and shared a heartfelt note expressing his love towards the late actor.
The ‘Shahid’ director wrote, “I had completed 2 schedules of Shahid. And we were stuck. I was troubled. A non-existent career as a filmmaker was almost finished completely. He just came up to me and said I have a fixed deposit and it is of no use to me if you are so troubled. He wrote a cheque. Shahid was completed. That was Yusuf Husain. Not my father-in-law but a father. He was life – if life itself had to have a physical form. Today he is gone. To remind all those women in heaven that they are ‘Duniya ki sabse khubsurat ladki’ and all the men that they are ‘Haseen naujwaan’. And then to end with a booming ‘love you love you love you’. Yusuf Saab I owe this new life to you. I am truly orphaned today. Life will never be the same. I will miss you terribly. My Urdu will remain broken. And yes – love you love you love you!”
