Indian cinema sustained yet another blow as veteran actor Yusuf Hussain passed away on Saturday due to Covid-19 related complications. Hussain was quite close to his son-in-law, Hansal Mehta, who himself is a renowned filmmaker. Soon after the demise of Yusuf Hussain, Hansal took to Instagram to share his emotional turmoil. He shared how much his father in-law meant to him and went on to state that he has become truly orphaned today.

Sharing a picture of Hussain on Instagram, Hansal 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."

He further added, "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!"
