Here's what Television Celebrities have to say about the Time Ban on Condom Ads!

The government has prohibited television channels from airing condom advertisements from 6 a.m to 10 p.m, since some of the commercials were declared "indecent and impacting children". This move of the government has evoked strong reactions from companies and advertisers.

We got talking to a few industry celebs and here's what they have to say about this move by the Indian Government.

Anuj Sachdeva

I think the lack of sex education in our country is what impacts children. We are such a hypocritical society. On one hand, we talk about how much we are progressing and on the other we have a problem with TV channels airing condom ads. Do we even realise that condoms promote protected sex which is the most essential education the citizens of this nation need to get. We are okay with so many molestations and rape incidents happening in this country day in and day out but we will ban something as trivial as a condom ad on television.

Meghna Naidu

Condom ads are so important to show to the people of our country. It's something so basic and significant. Instead of making more educative ads and videos to teach the people of our country the right thing, our government decides to take down condom ads in the day. I am shocked. If one finds an ad explicit, you have the option of making another ad. But banning of something like this is a bit too much.

Tanya Sharma

Around the world, such advertising is being deregulated to prevent teenage pregnancies. It is now being widely recognised as the part of imparting certain knowledge but yes the creativity can be changed to decent advertising.

Madhura Naik

I stand with my government. The decision is very much fine. As every country has some protocols and our nation is known for its heritage and culture. We have a conservative close culture and it's a question of ethics as well. And none of the parents will find it easy to expose their children with such stuff at a very early age. I feel you have to work by your culture at the end of the day.

Roopal Tyagi

I don't agree with it. With a country that needs to seriously control its population, this doesn't seem the apt thing to do. What they can do is maybe monitor the content of these ads if the sensuality is a botheration.

Well, these are pretty strong reactions. What is your viewpoint? Do let us know in the comment section below..
