Sparking another controversy, international singer and pop-icon Rihanna has come under fire for hurting religious sentiments of Hindus in one of her latest photo-shoots.

On February 16, the singer took to her Twitter account to share an image that was clicked for her lingerie brand. Rihanna is seen posting naked, with her arms around the chest while donning a purple bottom. However, what drew ire was the pendant she was wearing of Hindu deity, Lord Ganesha.

The post soon went viral, blowing up Indian social media with condemnation and controversies. The picture was highly criticised for being 'disrespectful' towards Hindu deities. BJP leader Ram Kadam considered the post "appalling", saying how Rihanna is openly mocking the "beloved Hindu god."

Earlier, Rihanna hogged the limelight for tweeting on the Indian farmers' protest in the capital city. She posted a news link claiming internet services being shut in New Delhi amid farmers' protest.
