Ishit Bhatt’s KBC Drama: Why People Are Angry at the Overconfident Kid

Who is Ishis Bhatt from KBC?

Ishit Bhatt is a 10-year-old boy and a fifth-grade student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat. He appeared as a child contestant in the popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Season 17 Junior Week. The show is hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, who is known for his friendly and respectful interaction with contestants.

What happened on KBC?

Ishit was confident and quick in answering questions. He often tried to answer even before the host gave all the options. During the show, he told Amitabh Bachchan, "Mujhe rules pata hai, mujhe mat samjhaye" ("I know the rules, don't explain them to me"), which surprised many viewers. His overconfidence was clear as he frequently interrupted the host and insisted on locking his answers early.

The turning point came when he was asked a question on the Ramayana, "What is the name of the first kanda of the Valmiki Ramayana?" Ishit answered incorrectly. Because of this wrong answer, he left the show without winning any money.

Why did Ishit get so much hate?

Many viewers criticised Ishit's attitude on the show. The main reasons for the negative reactions were:

  • His disrespectful tone towards Amitabh Bachchan.

  • Interrupting the host multiple times and being rude.

  • Showing overconfidence without humility.

  • Some people blamed his parents, saying that bad parenting led to his behaviour.

Social media was full of discussions, memes, and comments calling him "arrogant" and saying that he lacked manners despite his knowledge.

What did Amitabh Bachchan say?

Amitabh Bachchan, the host, was calm and polite throughout. After Ishit made a mistake, he said, "Kabhi kabhi bachhe overconfidence mein galti kar dete hain" ("Sometimes children make mistakes because of overconfidence"). This showed Amitabh's understanding and gentle approach to the situation.

How did people react?

The reactions were mixed:

  • Many people were critical and saw the boy's behaviour as rude and disrespectful.

  • Others felt he was just a child who was over-excited and overwhelmed by the pressure of the show and Amitabh Bachchan's presence.

  • Some suggested the show might have encouraged such drama for more TRP (viewership).

Conclusion

Ishit Bhatt’s appearance on KBC became a hot topic mainly due to his overconfidence and behaviour with the host. While he was knowledgeable, his attitude was questioned by many viewers. The incident also sparked a larger conversation on parenting, manners, and respect in children. Despite the criticism, the host Amitabh Bachchan handled the situation with kindness, reminding everyone that making mistakes is normal
