The controversy over the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games broke out over a segment entitled "Festivity".
BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has reacted sharply to the drag queen-themed apparent parody of "The Last Supper," a mural painting by Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci of Jesus and his apostles, performed during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
The Paris Olympics, which kick-started in the French capital with a nearly four-hour opening ceremony on Friday, has faced criticism on social media for the drag act featuring 18 performers, including three well-known Drag Race France queens.
Taking to her official Instagram account, the actor-turned-politician slammed the act as a "hyper-s*xualised" and "blasphemous rendition of The Last Supper", which is one of the most famous artworks in the world depicting Jesus's last meal with his apostles in Jerusalem before his crucifixion.
