During her freshman year, while in California working at a printing press, Ray used her free time to complete her first feature-length screenplay Hola Armando and decided to quit school to pursue film production. She started interning for different production companies and learned every aspect of film production from being on set as a runner or production assistant, editor's help, demonstrator of new software and technologies at mall showrooms, until she was hired by a television network as an in-house producer.

In winter 2009, Ray and Banarje wrote a psychological thriller titled Bodhisattva , with Soumitra Chatterjee in the title role. ^[2] Ray wanted to play the role of Maya, but director San Banarje was not convinced by Ray's performance at the rehearsals and gave her the first day of shoot to prove herself, while looking for other actors to replace her on the second day. Her first day of shoot impressed the director and she did not need to get replaced. The entire film was shot in the home of Ray's mother who stayed in one room with their family pup Kalia until the day's shoot was over. ^[3]
