An advertisement attracts people to buy a product or use service by providing some misleading facts. If one wanted to buy a product or use any service on the basis of an advertisement , must ask from his seniors,juniors, friends and also get information's through internet. If you used or bought it and found defective, must make complaint on the consumer court.

Filmstars advertise all sorts of pseudo religious products,creams,lotions for beauty etc. promising a world of good after using them,but reality is that the poor consumer is being cheated.Should the celebrity not be held responsible?It is due to celebrity approval that hordes of people who are their fans blindly believe what they say & fall prey to such unworthy products.Stars should be careful of what they endorse,when they are enjoying its income,they should be responsible for consequences too

All celebrities like actors,singers,models should be held responsible for the products they are endorsing.Celebrity advertising has a mass appeal,these actors/actresses etc get away after earning crores through these advertisements,and the poor consumer is left in the lurch after using faulty products advertised by these celebrities.How fair is this?Are celebrities only for earning money?They canvas votes for political parties hence no action is taken to regulate them.Is this fair?

Make censor board for releasing advertisement on electronic media / print media. after getting dully sanction , then only company should be allowed to give advertisement in Newspaper / TV / Radio / Internet.

Don't purchase any products that are advertised on the television or through any media. Simply don't trust any media advertisements.
