Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram account to share a video of herself slamming the portrayal of The Last Supper at the sporting event. For the unversed, The Last Supper is a mural painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to c. 1495–1498, housed in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy.
