Ted is famous and most of the people will be aware that a walking talking teddy bear exists in the world but its not normal to come across a walking talking teddy bear in daily life at a public place. It is strange that people are not even excited to see him. Why is that so?

It's not normal in our reality but it is normal in this movie universe
As Wikipedia says*
In 1985, 8-year-old John Bennett is a lonely child living in Norwood, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston, who wished for his new Christmas gift—a jumbo teddy bear named Ted—to come to life and become his friend. The wish coincides with a shooting star and comes true; word spread and Ted was briefly a celebrity.
Ted has been around for over 25 years and his existence is well known. Certainly he's unique and one could argue that he should be more of a celebrity but people get blase about such things.

In fact, as noted by @Gallifreyan it's stated that
"Eventually, nobody gives a shit"

Understood that he is around from last 25 years but people are so neutral that he walks unnoticed even on the busy streets of Manhattan, Boston etc.– HBhatiaCommented Aug 10, 2017 at 11:05

5I think it's actually said by the narrator in the first film: "eventually, nobody gives a shit" (here: youtube.com/watch?v=dbKwJM06fRM) Commented Aug 10, 2017 at 11:33
