A word of 7 letters out of which 3 are vowels.

The word roughly rhymes with a newspaper advertisement column which is (or was) very popular among unemployed people.

A word formed by Second, to fifth letters indicates a close relative often mispronounced.

Too many clues, I think.

What is that word starting with v, indicating over praising?

Answer

Vaunted/ vaunter

Special Greetings to M/S Rajathi for detailed descriptive reply:

“The word you're looking for is "Vaunted." It has 7 letters with 3 vowels.

It roughly rhymes with "Wanted" or "Enchanted," a popular newspaper advertisement column among unemployed people.

The word formed by its second to fifth letters, "aunt," indicates a close relative often mispronounced.

"Vaunted" itself means to boast or praise something excessively, which matches your description of indicating over-praising”.
