Yusuf Husain passes away at 73

Mumbai, Oct 30: Yusuf Husain passed away on Friday. He was 73. The senior actor is best known for his roles in super hit films like Vivah, Dhoom 2 and Dil Chahta Hai. Following the sad demise of Husain, his son-in-law filmmaker Hansal Mehta wrote a note mentioning how Yusuf helped him to make Shahid. Hansal 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!” wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/mehtahansal/status/1454205559628972037","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} https://twitter.com/mehtahansal/status/1454205559628972037 /wp:embed Abhishek Bachchan tweeted, "#RIP Yusuf ji.
