Veteran actor Yusuf Hussein, known for Vivah, Dhoom 2, and Dil Chahta Hai, died on Friday night. His son-in-law, director Hansal Mehta, confirmed the news and wrote an emotional note about the late actor. Actor Safina’s daughter is married to Mehta. In her letters, Mehta wrote how her father-in-law helped her with her acclaimed film Shahid when she had a “nonexistent” career as a director. Hansal Mehta’s Shahid with Rajkumar Rao was release in 2013.
He also wrote that Yusuf Hussein was not his father-in-law but his father.
His emotional note reads, “I have completed two charts of Shahid. And we’re stuck. I am worried. A nonexistent career as a film director is almost over. He just came to me and said I have a fixed-term deposit, and it doesn’t help me if you have such problems. He wrote a check. The martyr is finished.
That’s Yusuf Hussein. Not my father-in-law, but my father. It would be like if life itself took a physical form. He left today. To remind all women in heaven that they are “Duniya ki sabse khubsurat ladki” and all men that they are “naujwaan rabbits”. And then ends with a booming “I love, I love, I love you”. Yusuf Saab. I owe you this new life. I am an orphan today. Life will never be the same again. I will miss you. My Urdu will still be broken. And yes – I love you, I love you, I love you!”
