Ira Dubey is looking forward to the release of her upcoming web series, `Freedom at Midnight`. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, the web show is set around the events that took place around India`s independence and partition. The actor, who portrays Fatima Jinnah, sister of the politician Muhammad Ali Jinnah, shared how her maternal grandfather would recount the "harrowing sight of trains arriving in India filled with bodies."

"Since childhood, I`ve grown up hearing deeply personal, lesser-known stories of India`s independence movement that are woven into the fabric of our family history. Both sides of my family were directly involved in the freedom struggle--my maternal grandfather, who worked for the Railways, would recount the harrowing sight of trains arriving in India filled with bodies," she said, accordintg to a press note. She added, "His brother, a contemporary of Pandit Nehru, was dedicated to the movement and wore khadi exclusively as a sign of his commitment."
