Anuj Sachdev: 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. (Photo: Instagram)

Anuj said, "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 molestation 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." (Photo: Instagram)

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 are a conservative close culture and its a question of ethics as well. (Photo: Instagram)

"No 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," Madhura added. (Photo: Instagram)

Meghna Naidu: Condom ads are so important to show the people of our country. It's something so basic and important. 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. (Photo: Instagram)

Meghna also said, "I am shocked. If one finds an ad explicit you have the option of making another ad. Banning of something like this is a bit too much." (Photo: Instagram)
