Veteran actor Yusuf Hussain dies at 73, filmmaker Hansal Mehta pens emotional note

Date:



On Sunday, veteran actor Yusuf Hussain,  who was seen in films like ‘Dhoom 2’, ‘Raees’ and ‘Road to Sangam’, passed away at Lilavati Hospital due to COVID-19 at the age of 73. His son-in-law Hansal Mehta shared this news in his latest social media post.

The ‘Scam 1992’ director Hansal Mehta, who is married to late actor Yusuf’s daughter Safeena Husain, took to Instagram and penned an emotional note, confirming the death of Yusuf Hussain.

While sharing a picture, the filmmaker 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!”

Back in 2012, while speaking to the Times of India, Yusuf had confessed that he ‘still’ searches for a soulmate. He stated, “Yes, I have married thrice but I’m probably still looking for that perfectly understanding partner. But I’m 60 plus now, maybe that search will never end!”

Yusuf had worked in super hit movies like ‘Vivah’ and ‘Dil Chahta Hai..
