A Young Contestant Turns Into a Social Media Target

A fifth-grade student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat — Ishit Bhatt — appeared on the popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) hosted by Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. However, instead of winning hearts, the young boy has become the target of massive trolling on social media due to his overconfident and disrespectful behavior during the episode.

Amitabh Bachchan’s Reaction Goes Viral

Following the episode, Amitabh Bachchan’s cryptic post on social media grabbed attention. The megastar wrote, “Kehne ko kuch nahi… main aashcharya mein hoon!” (I have nothing to say… I am surprised!).
Fans immediately connected this post to the controversial episode, flooding social media with memes, reactions, and videos of Ishit’s interaction with the veteran actor. Some users even harshly commented, saying, “Nothing to say, just two slaps!” and “That kid was arrogant, sir. You should have scolded him.”

The Episode That Sparked the Backlash

As the episode began, Ishit Bhatt appeared visibly excited — which was expected from a young contestant. But things turned awkward when he started interrupting Big B and speaking in a commanding tone.
When Amitabh Bachchan asked him how he felt sitting on the hot seat, the boy responded, “I’m very excited, sir, but let’s get straight to the point. I know the rules, don’t explain them to me.”

Though taken aback, Amitabh handled the moment gracefully, smiling and continuing with the game. Ishit answered the first four questions without looking at the options, boasting of his confidence. But his overconfidence backfired when he stumbled on the fifth question, losing his chance to continue further.

Social Media Divided Over the Child’s Behaviour

While some viewers criticized the boy for being disrespectful, others felt he was simply nervous and overexcited on national television. The clip quickly went viral, sparking debates on parenting, humility, and children’s exposure to fame. Many netizens blamed poor upbringing and the influence of social media on young minds.

Amitabh’s Graceful Response Wins Hearts

Despite the awkward interaction, Amitabh Bachchan showed immense composure and kindness. At the end of the episode, he posed for pictures, gave Ishit a warm hug, and encouraged him with positive words — once again proving why he is adored as the “Shahenshah of Bollywood.”

Public Reactions Keep Pouring In

The incident continues to trend across platforms like X (Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube. Fans have urged parents to teach children respect and humility, especially when interacting with elders. Meanwhile, Amitabh’s fans have praised him for maintaining dignity and patience throughout the episode.
