Revealing Dakota Johnson ad on public billboard sparks backlash in India

Calvin Klein’s ad featuring Dakota Johnson, playing on a public billboard, has sparked reactions from social media users in India.

In March 2026, the American actress stripped down to almost nothing for her debut Calvin Klein campaign. The Spring 2026 campaign shows her modeling several looks from the brand.

The ad running on a billboard in Bihar, took many people by surprise. When a user shared a video of it on social media, it sparked mixed reactions.

While some people called out authorities for allowing the display of nudity in public places, others made hilarious remarks about the residents of the region, praising their progressive values.

Commenting on the clip, one user wrote: “Any advertisement featuring excessive nudity is subject to restrictions in India. Even lingerie stores in Bengaluru often censor such displays with black coverings when visible from the street. This is nothing but cheap publicity—using a main roadside screen to grab attention.

”Another said: “People in advertising media lost sense!!”

“Bihar becoming New York,” said a user jokingly.
