Lead with Light, Live in Awareness

Mr. Pradeep Guha, because of whom I got to train Feminist India Supermodel of the Year for almost two decades plus, expressed many a times into inverted commas, Micky, it’s because of you that I could balance my lifestyle of late nights, binge eatings and managing my drinks too, and counter making me whole from my overstretched lifestyle. Pradeep Guha – the success story of behind filmfare & Famina miss india.

Mickey, thank you for being so sincere and so committed. And thank you for whatever you did for me and my family. I’m ever so grateful to you.

⁠Punctual, disciplined, committed was all I could see. Philosophical, vast knowledge of all kinds and extremely amicable.Yes, I learnt swimming with Dr. Mickey Mehta during the movie Talaash and his innovative, unique ways of making me deal with water and my apprehensions was extremely effective.

Mickey did look after my initial phase of my weight loss and put in a great deal of effort there. In fact, he really knew how to handle my busy schedule and work around my levels of energy, keeping in mind the extended long hours that I always worked. He knew how to balance between rest, recreation, and repair, and his creative methods were unique. Moreover, his Bharatiya Sanskriti, understanding of Vedic and Yogic wisdom, was very convincing.

I remember as a chairman of Hindustan Unilever in Bombay, me and my wife, we hired Mickey’s services recommended by Mr. Anil Ambani. And he knew exactly what to do with different constitutions, for different objectives and different medical concerns. He was very much spot on in terms of achieving objectives. His empathy was sky high. His compassion and sensitivity in dealing with people were great.

It’s been almost 10 years that Dr. Mickey Mehta has added value to my life in terms of creative coaching. May it be his advice on nutrition, may it be on herbal supplementation, may it be natural methods of regulating life cycles, may it be getting the immobile back to mobile. And also, a constant graph of progress. Lost almost 30 kilos with him being around as a friend, philosopher, guide. And also gave up my first, and also gave up 30 cigarettes a day that I smoked, on the taunt given by Dr. Udwadia.

He was the only guy at that time too, speaking about holistic health. I remember I was working for Crescendo Music, and I wanted to participate in Miss India. The only solution I had in mind for all the shaping up that I needed was Mickey Mehta. His training was very innovative, creative; he amalgamated Indian and Western styles of coaching, and his philosophical part was very profound. Psychological and emotional grooming was great. He was the only guy then speaking about holistic health, meditation, breathwork, and recreation. Thanks to him, so many girls from India, from the Indian modeling industry—so many feminists became successful.

Mickey’s level of commitment and creativity in training was superlative. He exactly knew how much to push and how much to get out of every individual. Alongside Dr. Vijaya Venkates and Anju Venkates, Mickey was a perfect combination at that time. And it was with him that I first lost most of my weight. I think I have made a wise decision by hiring him, as he was the only one known for succeeding in all challenging cases.

He was extremely strict and a tough master. Yes, he served the larger interest of the brand Femina Miss India to shape us, groom us physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Micky Sir, as I would fondly call him, was very pleasant and endeatering always. He kept reinventing himself from time to time. It has been so many years that he has been with my family and taking care of my mother too. His calibration of workouts, following and understanding the limitations of each constitution, was simply very good. It has really paid off great dividends. This is the best investment one can make—investment of time in wellness.

Ever so sweet, ever so approachable, and ever so diligent and committed, all I can say is that our journey of wellness, for me and my children, for me, Anant, and Isha, was a pleasurable journey.

I have known Mickey for 30 years, an extremely versatile and extremely talented gentleman. The way he integrates disciplines of ancient wisdom traditions with modern sciences, with modern scientific frontiers, is unbelievable. For the best complimentary approach, he is the go-to man for any challenging medical concern or health objective or to meet any challenging conditions. I highly recommend Mickey to do the magic.

Mickey has been very conscientious when it comes to health, wellness, and fitness. Yes, he was looking after my children’s swimming program, which he did so with absolute due diligence. I have seen him grow from strength to strength over two and a half decades of knowing him. He has been the pioneer of holistic health in India. I can confidently say that he is efficient and very honest to the cause, a perfect professional when it comes to holistic, integrated health and allied disciplines.

Mickey Mehta was one such coach I consciously remembered and thanked after winning my Miss Universe at the Taj reception, which was fondly thrown for me. That was because his due diligence and eye for detail, looking into every girl participant and even those who were not up to the mark, brought them up to full steam and made sure they were participation-worthy. Respect, regard, and honour for Mickey Mehta, the holistic health guru India knew to start with.

I remember I was extremely young, and yes, I had to shed that little extra weight on me. Very rigorous, rigid training and super strict disciplining—that was the only way we could have made it. And yes, he was so tight with us in terms of our food, in terms of our workouts, sleep, recreation, and controlling all other habits. He was a friend, philosopher, guide. He was the best thing that happened to Femina Miss India.

Mickey, you have been so sweet and generous. Thank you so much. I am ever so grateful to you for showing so much of compassion, care and warmth in constantly advising me on my wellness.

Brother, words can’t express how happy I feel for you being a part of my life for more than three decades now. And your advice and pearls of wisdom of wellness have constantly helped me shape and balance my life. Love you always.
