They will find some other way to advertise. Just like the so called Music CDs, Glassware, Mineral-Water and Mouth-Freshner brands.

Surrogate advertising are a cancer to a TV. I saw Vicky Kaushal sell yaari on TV. Than saw a hoarding at a wine store him holding a Wine glass in the name of yaari. I lost faith both in that beautiful song and him. His josh and his dignity never looked so low in my eyes. Can't believe this guy plays roles of army officers in our movies. Never had high expectations from the likes of Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgan anyway. Elachi aka Gutka ads suits them

Okay if we are talking about Army. Army CSD provide cheapest liquor in country. They are considered as trusted, pure and genuine liquor too.

Now how the hell Sony will earn money? They are spending too much in per match broadcasting rights. This IPL I've observed that advertisers were not much interested in IPL as in beginning matches only these online betting and few app ads were coming.

Star and Viacom owns the rights.

True. Actors or well known people should b lot more responsible while endorsing products as they r followed by huge people and it is important that they pass on right message or try to propagate good things. I felt most disappointed seeing Akshay Kumar in such surrogate ads bcoz he has always had a fitness and disciplined person image , if i see him indirectly promoting unhealthy things (cigarette, pan masala, alcohol) then it does not feel right. Even Tiger Shroff who is fitness freak and has huge following among kids does surrogate ads for an alcohol brand which is even hurtful. Hrithik Roshan too is doing surrogate ads for a pan masala brand and again it goes against his image. Even Kartik Aryan, Jacqueline Fernandes, Ranveer Singh, Kriti Kharbanda, Siddharth Malhotra, Amitabh Bschchan r doing/have done such surrogate ads

In this regard i really applaud and appreciate actors like Aamir Khan, John Abraham, Shahid Kapur and cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and some others who have always refrained from doing such ads though they got offers for same with big money promised (based on what i have read online in various articles)

By the way buddy how did u not come to know that Yaari song was indirectly surrogate advertising for an alcohol brand as brand name clearly was visible in ad/song?
