Yusuf Hussain, Veteran Actor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Veteran actor Yusuf Hussain passed away due to COVID-19 complications at the age of 73 on Saturday. He was being treated at Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital, where he died this morning, his son-in-law and filmmaker Hansal Mehta mentioned to the news agency PTI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yusuf Hussain’s death has left his family and friends in the film fraternity heartbroken. Hansal Mehta, who is married to Yusuf Hussain’s daughter Safeena, mourned his father-in-law in an emotional Instagram post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also shared a photo of Yusuf Hussain and wrote about how the late actor helped him to complete his 2012 film\u00a0Shahid<\/em>, featuring Rajkummar Rao, when he was “troubled” and his “non-existent career as a filmmaker was almost finished completely.” Hansal Mehta shared that Yusuf Hussain was like a father to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his emotional tribute to his father-in-law, Hansal Mehta wrote: “I had completed 2 schedules of Shahid<\/em>. 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<\/em> was completed. That was Yusuf Husain. Not my father-in-law but a father.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added: “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<\/em>‘ and all the men that they are ‘Haseen naujwaan<\/em>‘. And then to end with a booming ‘love you love you love you’. Yusuf\u00a0Saab<\/em>\u00a0I 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!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actors like Abhishek Bachchan and Manoj Bajpayee also mourned Yusuf Hussain on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abhishek, who worked with the late actor in the 2003 film\u00a0Kuch Naa Kaho<\/em>\u00a0and forthcoming movie\u00a0Bob Biswas<\/em>, tweeted: “#RIP Yusuf ji. We worked together in several films starting with\u00a0Kuch na kaho<\/em>\u00a0and lastly on\u00a0Bob Biswas<\/em>. He was gentle, kind and full of warmth. Condolences to his family.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
