His main interest in work was hair styling. He worked as a hairdresser in a salon when he started his career in this industry in 1970. He learnt the art of hairdressing from Tokyo Beauty Parlour in Mumbai. Once, the Bollywood actress Helen came to the salon he was working in, because of the unavailability of any staff to attend her, Mickey was given the opportunity to do Helenâs hair. While talking to her, he expressed his desire to Helen of doing her hairstyle for any of her movies, to which Helen suggested Mickey be a makeup artist as at that time only women did the hairstyling in Bollywood. check sources Masala!
He always wanted to be part of the film making and the film industry. Mickey struggled for 13 years in the hair and makeup industry of Bollywood. He did the makeup of many supporting actors and extras performing in the films for many years. Later, he started working on doing makeup for portraits with Gautam Rajadhyaksha (photographer) from where he was recognised by his work and was approached to do the makeup of Kajol in her debut movie Bekhudi (1992).

He had a turning point in his career when he decided to leave the film industry. For 10 years, he worked in the advertising field which he thought to be more challenging and respectful field to work in. In the field of advertising, he learnt sophisticated and complex makeup techniques, and also gave him the experience to work with different kinds of makeup looks. When his skills were noticed by the film industry in his advertisement field, he was again called in the film industry to work with celebrities.
