Veteran
actor
and
father-in-law
of
filmmaker
Hansal
Mehta,
Yusuf
Husain
passed
away
on
Friday
(October
29,
2021)
at
the
age
of
73.
The
cause
of
his
death
is
yet
to
be
known.
He
had
worked
in
movies
like
Vivah,
Dil
Chahta
Hai,
Dhoom
2
amongst
others,
and
also
starred
in
many
TV
shows
like
CID
and
Kumkum:
Pyaara
Sa
Bandhan.
Hansal
Mehta
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
pen
an
emotional
tribute
to
him
wherein
he
recalled
how
his
late
father-in-law
helped
him
in
making
his
film
Shahid
when
he
was
running
out
of
funds.
The
Aligarh
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!"
Mehta's
touching
tribute
made

Bhatt
