KBC 17: A recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 has set social media on fire — not for a big win but for the controversy surrounding Ishit Bhatt, a 10-year-old 5th grade student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The young contestant’s ‘overconfident’ and outspoken behavior with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan has stirred a nationwide debate over parenting, manners and the role of reality TV in shaping children’s conduct.
The Incident: What Happened on the KBC Hot Seat.?
During his appearance, Ishit Bhatt displayed a level of assertiveness and impatience rarely seen on KBC’s famous hot seat. From the very beginning, he interrupted the host, telling him, “Mere ko rules pata hai, isliye aap mujhe rules mat samjhaye” (I know the rules, so don’t explain them to me now). He repeatedly pressed for options before they were provided, urged Bachchan to move quickly by saying “Arre option daalo.!” (Come on, give me some options) and even asked for answers to be ‘locked in’ multiple times, often before the host could complete stating the question.
Despite Amitabh Bachchan’s trademark calm and grace, the boy persisted in his ways, ultimately answering a question incorrectly and leaving with zero winnings. The segment went viral instantly, not just for Ishit’s conduct but also for Big B’s composed and diplomatic response.
Social Media Erupts: Mixed Reactions and Viral Memes
The fallout hit social media like a storm. Viral clips and memes proliferated within hours, as netizens weighed in. Many slammed the 10-year-old for alleged ‘rudeness,’ ‘arrogance’ and ‘lack of respect for elders,’ attributing his conduct to poor parenting and the possible negative influence of today’s reality TV culture.
Typical comments included, “No manners.!” “Parents should teach children to be humble” and “This is the result of bad upbringing.” The conversation, however, quickly escalated — with some users going so far as to dub Ishit the “most hated kid on the internet.” Experts and parents joined the debate, questioning if the show’s producers should guide young contestants more thoroughly about on-screen behavior.
Not All Negative: A Call for Empathy and Reflection
While negative comments were dominant, a sizeable section of the internet called for restraint and empathy. Playback singer Chinmayi Sripaada, for example, criticized adult trolls, labeling the online behavior towards Ishit as “bullying.” Many reminded that he is just a child — likely nervous or overwhelmed by a national TV appearance — and perhaps a victim of online mob mentality rather than the sole culprit.
Some psychology and parenting experts offered that excessive criticism can be harsh and traumatic for children, while a lesson about expressing confidence with humility could be more constructive.
Key Quotes (From Social Media & Public Figures)
· Amitabh Bachchan (on-air): “Kabhi kabhi bachche overconfidence mein galti kar dete hain.” (“Sometimes children make mistakes out of overconfidence.”)
· Chinmayi Sripaada (X/Twitter): “This entire lot is picking on one overexcited kid — what a horrible bunch of bullies these have raised themselves to be.”
· Social Media User: “It’s OK for a child to have knowledge but not knowing how to talk in front of elders is the real failure.”
· Another User: “Maybe the boy’s behaviour was just nerves… Public shaming is unnecessary and harmful to a kid.”
Broader Conversation: Parenting, Social Media & Reality TV
· The controversy has done more than just spark outrage; it’s started important conversations regarding
o The responsibility of parents to teach humility and public behavior,
o The pressures and expectations placed on children in televised competitions,
o The influence of reality show formats on young minds and audience perception,
o The responsibilities of producers to guide, brief and protect minors who appear on national TV.
Some argue that KBC’s declining TRPs may be prompting more ‘spicy’ and viral content, intentionally or not, while others say empathy and positivity should be central to content involving kids.
Real-World Impact: Viral ‘Case Study’ on Parenting in India
Ishit’s viral moment has become a “case study” on modern parenting and media influence in India. Parenting experts recommend using such viral episodes as teachable moments — about confidence vs. arrogance, respect in competitive environments and maturity in digital interactions.
Conclusion: What Can We Learn.?
The episode serves as a reminder that public platforms magnify every gesture — especially those of children. While overconfidence and lack of manners drew criticism, the ferocity of online shaming was equally sobering. As media, parents and society, it’s a good moment to reflect: “Are we helping our children grow confidently and respectfully — and protecting them from the downsides of sudden Internet fame.?”
