Abbas has urged parents and show makers to be a little considerate.u00a0"Give kids their childhood back! How desperate are we and how desperate are those who put them there. We stoop so low in search of TRPs. What's with the nails, the blindfolds, the fire! The pelvic thrusts and gestures," he posted.

In fact, he has lodged a complaint with the Indian Broadcasting Foundation to stop this kind of practice.u00a0"Don't like the exploitation of kids on television? Complain to the Indian Broadcasting Foundation... I just did it," posted Abbas, who made his directorial debut with "Always Kabhi Kabhi" last year.u00a0Established in 1999, IBF is the country's apex organisation of television broadcasters. It plays a significant role in protecting and promoting the interests of its members and freedom of electronic media in India.
