In today’s time, there are so many advertisements on TV that people do not pay attention to these advertisements, but when the television started, some of the advertisements that came at that time made a lot of buzz. Even today, the memories of those advertisements are fresh in people’s hearts. On hearing the music of those advertisements, you remember all those advertisements which used to be on TV at that time. These advertisements appearing on the Indian Public Service Broadcasting Doordarshan were seen in all the houses. In the beginning of Doordarshan, only ordinary artists used to work in advertisements, but to increase the popularity of advertisements, television actors started to be included in advertisements. In the 80s, many stars like Kishore Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, Kapil Dev, Vinod Khanna worked in commercials.
