Alia Bhatt too posted a picture from the event on her Instagram story, captioning it: “Go ahead and rise, Team India.”
While many praised the Indian athletes, actress and politician Kangana Ranaut criticised the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024.
Taking to Instagram Stories, the actress posted a video from the event and wrote: “The Paris Olympics is facing criticism for including a ‘child’ in its hyper-sexualised, blasphemous performance of The Last Supper. A child can also be seen joining the drag queens during the performance.
They depicted a naked man painted blue as Jesus and mocked Christianity. The leftists have completely hijacked Olympics 2024. Shameful.
