Abhay on Trial By Fire: Done true stories before but this one has to be the most tragic

Abhay Deol recently took to his Instagram handle where he shared the poster of his upcoming series Trial By Fire and captioned, "Possibly the hardest role I've ever had to portray. I've done true stories before but this one has to be the most tragic."

He added: "A fire that left a trail of tragedies in its wake. Tragedies Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy had to deal with over the two plus decades. Follow their journey in #TrialByFire, trailer out tomorrow only on @netflix_in."
