The friendship born of murder

Friends Azim Khamisa and Ples Felix share a fondness for spicy food and wine, but they became buddies after a devastating incident – when Azim’s son was killed by Ples’ grandson.

Friends Azim Khamisa and Ples Felix share a fondness for spicy food and wine, but their relationship has a deeper and more profound resonance.

Akram Khan is one of the world's leading dancers and choreographers. Over the years, he's notched up numerous accolades, collaborated with prima ballerinas and pop stars, and danced in impressive venues - including an Olympic opening ceremony. But, as he tells Outlook's Saskia Edwards, his first stage was his family's Indian restaurant.
