Photographs of two people in the 2002 riots in Gujarat were discussed worldwide. One of them was of Ashok Parmar waving a sword in his hand and the other picture was of Qutubuddin Ansari, who was praying to save his life. The two later became friends and appeared together on several forums. After 17 years, the two came together again in Ahmedabad. The occasion was the inauguration of Ashoka's footwear shop 'Ekta Chappal Ghar'.
