Veteran actor Yusuf Hussain has passed away. The actor played pivotal roles in the movies such as Vivaah, Dhoom 2, Khoya Khoya Chand, Crazy Cukkad Family, Road To Sangam and more. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta recalled an incident when the now late actor and also his father-in-law had come to his rescue. Yusuf Hussain had helped him financially for his movie, Shahid. The filmmaker narrated the whole incident in his Tweet, stating that he was not a father-in-law but a father to him.
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta sharing the incident wrote in his tweet, "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."
His Tweet further read, "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!"
Also seen mourning his death were Pooja Bhatt, Manoj Bajpayee and Abhishek Bachchan.
We pray for his soul to rest in peace.
