Veteran actor Adil Hussain was recently mistaken for Yusuf Dikec, the Olympic shooter from Turkey making waves on the Internet for his ‘swag’. Dikec, 51, bagged a silver medal with Sevval Ilayda Tarhan at the mixed team 10-meter air pistol event. Reacting to a viral post congratulating him, Hussain wrote, “Wish this was true. May be it's not to late to start practicing. Since I have the attitude need to work on the skill set now..” Take a look at the post here: Wish this was true.

I moved from Pistol shooting to film shooting and you can be the one to go from film shooting to Pistol shooting!” a third user reacted. On the professional front, Adil Hussain was recently seen with Janhvi Kapoor and Gulshan Devaiah in “Ulajh.” Who is Yusuf Dikec? Dikec began his shooting career in 2011. According to reports, the retired non-commissioned officer of the Turkish Gendarmerie set a new world record in the 25 m center-fire pistol event at the CISM Military World Championships in 2006. Dikec scored 597 points in the event. Dikec became the ‘main energy’ character on social media after a picture of him performing at the Olympics 2024 without any safety or shooting gear.
