TV advertising, including celebrity endorsement, plays a dominant role in shaping children's product preference. Indeed, TV advertising first catch the attention of the children, then create interest in the mind of children about the product seen through the advertisement, then develop a desire to have that product, then children acquire the product by buying it or forcing their parents to buy it. The impact of celebrity endorsement in TV advertisements, level of children understanding of TV ads and making purchase requests for advertised products will be measured through this study. Efforts have been made to determine the effectiveness of various endorsing celebrities in making child believe in product attributes and influencing his/her purchase requests. This also seeks to ascertain why certain celebrities are more popular with the children from different age-groups and sex, both in urban and rural area of Madhya Pradesh.
