Mr. Mehta took to Twitter and penned an emotional note for the actor, recalling how Husain had helped him financially after his feature "Shahid" was stuck after two schedules. "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.”
