“Tu karm kar, phal ki chinta mat kar”—it’s a line most of us have heard, but very few truly live by. Celebrity trainer Mustafa Ahmed is one of those rare few who embody it. Today, he’s garnering praise for playing Rizwan—Hamza’s trusted right-hand man—in Dhurandhar The Revenge. But long before the spotlight found him, Mustafa was earning just Rs 10,000 a month as a gym trainer in Delhi’s Janakpuri. Nearly 15 years later, he would go on to become the personal trainer of Hrithik Roshan. Mustafa’s journey was anything but conventional. He wasn’t a prodigy people expected to “make it big.” In fact, like the child in Taare Zameen Par, he struggled with dyslexia and eventually dropped out of formal education. Speaking on the Jag Of All Trades podcast, Mustafa Ahmed recalled, “I was not a bright kid. I was dyslexic and come from an Afghani background. But I was always physical—I was good at sports, picked up dancing naturally. Anything that involved using my body, I was good at it.” At 21, he was …
