**Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17: Kid Contestant Ishit Bhatt’s Behaviour Sparks Controversy on Social Media**
Season 17 of *Kaun Banega Crorepati* is currently underway, featuring contestants of all ages, including some children who have recently appeared on the hot seat, answering questions posed by the legendary host Amitabh Bachchan. While most of the young participants have been respectful and friendly towards Big B, one contestant, in particular, has sparked a wave of backlash on social media due to his tone and behaviour during the show.
### Viral Video of Ishit Bhatt’s Interaction with Amitabh Bachchan
A video of a young contestant named Ishit Bhatt from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, who is in the fifth standard, has gone viral on social media. In the clip, Ishit is seen speaking somewhat rudely and overconfidently to Amitabh Bachchan, which has left netizens fuming.
Before Big B begins asking him questions, Ishit tells the megastar, “Mere ko rules pata hai isliye aap mereko abhi rules samjhane mat baithna.” Later, as Bachchan starts posing questions, Ishit quickly insists on locking in his answers even before the options are provided, saying things like “lock the answer” in a very assertive tone.
When presented with a difficult question, Ishit waits for the options and then impatiently urges Big B, “Arre option daalo.” After hearing the options, he shouts enthusiastically, “Sir ek kya uss mein chaar lock lagado, lekin lock karo.” Unfortunately, his confident answer turns out to be incorrect, and he leaves the game without winning any money.
Following Ishit’s wrong answer, Amitabh Bachchan calmly remarks, “Kabhi kabhi bachhe over confidence mein galti kar dete hai,” highlighting that sometimes children make mistakes out of overconfidence.
### Netizens React Strongly to Ishit Bhatt’s Behaviour
The behaviour displayed by Ishit Bhatt during the show has sparked widespread criticism online. Several netizens expressed their displeasure regarding the child’s tone towards Big B.
One user tweeted, “It’s okay if your child has knowledge, but if he doesn’t have manners or if he doesn’t know how to talk in front of elders he can never be successful. If I was in Amitabh Bachchan’s place, I would slap him twice and then ask questions.”
Another social media user commented, “Perfect ending. Arrogance got schooled. Maybe now the parents will learn, raising a brat isn’t parenting, it’s public nuisance training.”
Some simply labeled him as an “Oversmart kid,” reflecting their frustration with his attitude.
### Some Netizens Come to Ishit’s Defence
Meanwhile, a section of viewers has come forward defending Ishit, urging people not to be too harsh on the young contestant. Some even speculated that the segment might have been scripted for entertainment purposes.
Several X (formerly Twitter) users pointed out the possibility of the exchange being part of a planned act, advising netizens to take the video in the right spirit.
### TRP Concerns for Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17
In other news, *Kaun Banega Crorepati* Season 17 has reportedly not been receiving a strong response in terms of TRP (Television Rating Points). Viewership numbers appear to be lower compared to previous seasons, prompting discussions around the show’s current format and contestant selection.
