Hansal Mehta is married to Yusuf Hussain’s daughter Safeena. He remembered his father-in-law in a heartbreaking post on Saturday morning: “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!”
Yusuf Hussain was best-known for movies such as Dil Chahta Hai, Raees, Raaz, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Shahid, OMG: Oh My God, Krrish 3 and Dabangg 3. He also worked in The Tashkent Films, Jalebi, Dhoom 2 and Road To Sangam.
He also featured in TV shows such as Mullah Nasruddin, Kumkum: Ek Pyara Sa Bandhan, Ssshhhh… Koi Hai, CID and Tum Bin Jaaoon Kahaan.
