It’s so nice to see some attitude in the scene. Highly recommend Shilpa Ray at TV Eye June 3rd! A bit of old NY in this modern dystopia.

Ray’s New Jersey upbringing as an Indian American from an immigrant family as contributing to her having a “scrappy” demeanor. As a youth, she claims she was mistaken for an Iraqi during the Persian Gulf War and was “pelted with beer cans” by racist hooligans at the age of 5. She dealt with restrictive parents who banned Western-themed music and learned to play the harmonium and piano beginning at age six.
