1. A method of providing at least one content in an eMBMS stream to a user device, the method being performed by a server, the method comprising:

receiving a request, at a server, from a user device for availing an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) stream, wherein the eMBMS stream has at least one stream portion;

receiving a profile information from the user device, wherein the profile information corresponds to a user;

generating at least one context tag based on the profile information;

screening the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream to identify at least one object,

wherein

the at least one content is tagged with the at least one object, and

the at least one object corresponds to at least one portion of the eMBMS stream; identifying and transmitting at least one content based on at least one of the profile information and the at least one context tag; wherein the at least one content includes an advertisement corresponding to the at least one object and a direct link to purchase an item corresponding to the at least one object; wherein the direct link is configured to allow purchase of the item while streaming the eMBMS stream by causing one or more of a retailer portal a pre-installed application, or a macro application to open to allow for purchase and payment of the item; and

enabling the at the user device to exhibit the at least one content, wherein the at least one content is exhibited during the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising exhibiting the at least one content based on at least one of a gaze and a behaviour of the user detected by the user device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tagging of the at least one content with the at least one object is one of a pre-tagging and a real-time tagging.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream is expressed in time of occurrence in the eMBMS stream.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of an advertisement and a direct link are exhibited using one of an indication, a dialogue box, a banner, a pop-up, and a textual message.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the eMBMS stream includes at least one of a pre-stored video stream and a live stream.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the profile information includes at least one of a name of the user, a geographic location information of the user, a date of birth of the user, a preference of the user, a gender of the user.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least object includes at least one of an attire worn by a character, an article, and a location displayed during the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream.

9. A method of providing at least one content in an eMBMS stream to a user device, the method being performed by the user device, the method comprising:

transmitting a request from a user device to a server for availing an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) stream, wherein the eMBMS stream has at least one stream portion;

generating at least one context tag based on a profile information, wherein the profile information corresponds to a user;

transmitting at least one of the at least one context tag and the profile information to the server;

receiving the at least one content from the server, wherein

the at least one content is identified based on at least one of the at least one context tag and the profile information,

the at least one content is tagged with the at least one object,

the at least one object corresponds to at least one portion of the eMBMS stream;

the at least one content includes an advertisement corresponding to the at least one object and a direct link to purchase an item corresponding to the at least one object and the direct link is configured to allow purchase of the item while streaming the eMBMS stream by causing one or more of a retailer portal, a pre-installed application, or a macro application to open to allow for purchase and payment of the item; and

exhibiting the at least one content, wherein the at least one content is exhibited during the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising exhibiting the at least one content based on at least one of a gaze and a behaviour of the user detected by the user device.

11. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the tagging of the at least one content with the at least one object is one of a pre-tagging and a real-time tagging.

12. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream is expressed in time of occurrence in the eMBMS stream.

13. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein at least one of an advertisement and a direct link are exhibited using one of an indication, a dialogue box, a banner, a pop-up, and a textual message.

14. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the eMBMS stream includes at least one of a pre-stored video stream and a live stream.

15. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the profile information includes at least one of a name of the user, a geographic location information of the user, a date of birth of the user, a preference of the user, a gender of the user.

16. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the at least object includes at least one of an attire worn by a character, an article, and a location displayed during the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream.

17. A server for providing at least one content in an eMBMS stream to a user device, the server comprising:

a receiver module configured to:

receive a request from a user device for availing an evolved multimedia broadcast multicast services (eMBMS) stream, wherein the eMBMS stream has at least one stream portion, and

receive a profile information from the user device, wherein the profile information corresponds to a user;

a media presentation description module configured to:

generate at least one context tag based on the profile information, and

screening the at least one portion of the eMBMS stream to identify at least one object,

wherein

the at least one content is tagged with the at least one object, and

the at least one object corresponds to at least one portion of the eMBMS stream; and

a transmitter module configured to:

transmit the at least one content based on at least one of the profile information and the at least one context tag wherein the at least one content includes an advertisement corresponding to the at least one object and a direct link to purchase an item corresponding to the at least one object and wherein further the direct link is configured to allow purchase of the item while streaming the eMBMS stream by causing one or more of a retailer portal, a pre-installed application, or a macro application to open to allow for purchase and payment of the item, and
