Mustafa Ahmed Reveals Bollywood Stars’ Food Habits and Fitness Secrets

Celebrity fitness trainer-turned-actor Mustafa Ahmed, known for his appearances in Dhurandhar and Dhurandhar: The Revenge, has pulled back the curtain on some fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from his years training Bollywood’s biggest names. Despite their chiselled physiques, most of these stars are surprisingly passionate about food.

Mustafa revealed that Hrithik Roshan is a devoted foodie who can polish off 13 to 14 ghee chapatis in one sitting, stopping only when the next one is delayed. Vicky Kaushal, on the other hand, poses a different kind of challenge — his extraordinarily fast metabolism makes it nearly impossible to help him gain muscle or weight. “Vicky can eat anything and just digest it,” Mustafa noted. He also shared that Yami Gautam adores chai and home-cooked meals, while Ranveer Singh has an unmistakable radar for Nutella.

Ranveer Singh’s Remarkable Transformation for Dhurandhar

Director Aditya Dhar had a clear vision — Ranveer needed to look physically imposing without being stiff. Starting at just 75–76 kg, Ranveer reached 87 kg by the first shoot day through two intensive training sessions daily over four to five weeks, paired with a high-calorie diet.

From Trainer to Actor: Mustafa’s Natural Transition

Mustafa’s entry into acting grew organically from his long association with Aditya Dhar. Having trained actors across several of Dhar’s projects, Mustafa expressed his admiration for the director’s work and his desire to act. Dhar eventually recognised his potential, giving him a meaningful role in Dhurandhar, which stars Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal.
