Sad news for Bollywood.

Veteran actor Yusuf Hussain, known for featuring in films like Dhoom 2, Raees and Road to Sangam, passed away on Saturday due to Covid-19.

He was 73.

Husain’s son-in-law, filmmaker Hansal Mehta wrote an emotional note for the actor, recalling how Husain had helped him financially in the making of his feature “Shahid”.

This is what Hansal Mehta wrote on Twitter: “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. “Life will never be the same. I will miss you terribly. My Urdu will remain broken. And yes – love you love you love you.

Hussain had recently shot for Abhishek Bachchan-starrer upcoming thriller “Bob Biswas”.

Bachchan paid his condolences to the veteran.
