Is the Indian name "Mistry" pronounced like "mystery?"?

...or at least close enough that a North American who is not familiar with the name might hear it wrong when the Indian person introduces him or herself?

Update:

Thanks for the quick answers. You guys are great.

    to the second q, yes for sure. to the 1st, it depends on how exactly u pronounce mystery, as 2 or 3 syllables.
