A clip from Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 (KBC 17) has taken the Internet by storm. A young contestant, Ishit Bhatt, a fifth-standard student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, became the centre of online discussion for his unusual behaviour on the show. While the child did not win any prize money, his confidence, manners, and outspoken nature sparked a heated debate online about parenting, social media scrutiny, and the pressures children face on reality shows.
Who Is Ishit Bhatt And Why His KBC Behaviour Went Viral
Ishit Bhatt, just a fifth-standard student, entered KBC 17 with a confidence that surprised viewers. In a viral clip, he is heard saying, "Mere ko rules pata hai isliye aap mereko abhi rules samjhane mat baithna" (I know the rules, so don’t start explaining the rules to me right now).
He insisted on receiving options before they were provided, saying, "Arre option daalo" (Come on, give me some options). Even when locking in his answer, he requested, "Sir ek kya uss mein chaar lock lagado, lekin lock karo" (Sir, not just one, put four locks on it, but do lock it).
Despite his confidence, Ishit answered a question about Ramayan incorrectly and left the show without winning any prize money.
Amitabh Bachchan’s Graceful Response Wins Hearts Online
Amitabh Bachchan handled the situation with remarkable composure. He commented, "Kabhi kabhi bachhe over confidence mein galti kar dete hai" (Sometimes children make mistakes due to overconfidence).
The Internet praised the veteran actor for staying calm, even as Ishit’s behaviour drew criticism.
A user wrote, “Even rudeness comes at a price. When children start crossing the line, their parents must be given some parenting lessons. The parents of this child clearly failed to understand the difference between confidence and arrogance.”
Another user added, “For the first time, I actually feel like praising Amitabh Bachchan… Watching how he handled the boy’s behaviour was pure grace.”
Many viewers couldn’t help but recall a similar incident from a previous season of KBC, where another young contestant missed out on winning Rs 1 crore due to overconfidence. Just like Ishit, that child displayed a mix of boldness and impatience, which backfired at a critical moment.
Social Media Debates Parenting And Online Bullying
Ishit’s conduct reignited discussions on parenting and social media behaviour. Singer Chinmayi Sripaada criticised the online culture of targeting children: "An adult putting a tweet saying most hated kid… But yeah, pick on a kid. Says a LOT about the ecosystem."
Many users defended Ishit, pointing out that social media tends to harshly judge children for simply being confident or expressive.
A user commented, “Why is this kid being criticised just for being himself? Do children always have to act according to society’s idea of 'good behaviour'?”
Another added, “He does not deserve the social media hate & troll he's now going to get. He's just a boy. Help make the social media world a bit better for him.”
Is Confidence In Children Mistaken For Arrogance?
The video sparked wider reflection on the difference between confidence and arrogance in children. Several viewers blamed parenting for not instilling the right balance of respect and confidence.
“Parents can give their children everything but values, and it shows. When children forget respect, it’s not their failure alone, it’s the failure of every adult who cheered arrogance as confidence,” wrote one user.
Another comment warned, “Bro’s gonna become a bad example for other kids,” highlighting the debate on role models and the behaviour of children in the public eye.
Why The Internet Can’t Stop Talking About KBC 17’s Youngest Contestant
Ishit Bhatt’s appearance on KBC 17 is a mix of controversy and entertainment. His overconfidence, while criticised, also reminded audiences of the pressures children face on reality TV. At the same time, Amitabh Bachchan’s handling of the situation won admiration for showing calm and patience, proving why he remains one of India’s most respected TV hosts.
The viral clip continues to circulate, sparking discussions about parenting, online trolling, and the fine line between confidence and rudeness in children.

This kid came on KBC a few years ago.
