Veteran actor Yusuf Husain dies, Hansal Mehta pens heartfelt note for father-in-law

New Delhi: Noted television and film actor Yusuf Husain breathed his last this morning. Filmmaker Hansal Mehta took to social media and shared a heartfelt note to his father-in-law and mourned his demise. The cause of his death is yet to be known. 

Hansal Mehta 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!"
