He will be seen asking Mickey Contractor about his entry into the film industry. Mickey goes on to share, “As a child, watching movies with my nani sparked a deep fascination within me. I used to watch Helen ji on screen and admire her hairstyle, wishing that I could style anyone’s hair in the same way. Societal norms dictated that men were not supposed to do hairstyling. However, I decided to pursue my passion and learnt hairdressing and styling at a beauty parlour. Fate intervened when Helen ji herself became one of my customers. She suggested that I become a make-up artist instead. She even gave me some contacts to help me get started.”
