Amitabh Bachchan has hosted the popular game show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ for many years. He also leads its special junior version, where young contestants take the hot seat. Recently, a video from ‘KBC 17’, the junior edition, went viral. It showed a child on the hot seat talking to Bachchan in a surprisingly direct way, catching many viewers off guard. Now, this child is receiving a lot of social media attention for his on-screen behavior.
Several clips from that ‘KBC 17’ episode are circulating widely online. They feature the boy on the hot seat answering questions. When Amitabh Bachchan asked him something, the child responded with a lot of overconfidence and an impolite tone. This behavior quickly caught the eye of Bachchan’s dedicated fans and many other social media users. Viewers were clearly upset after seeing the child’s disrespectful attitude in the now-famous video.
Bachchan Stays Calm
Despite the young contestant’s challenging manner, Amitabh Bachchan remained incredibly patient. The child on ‘KBC 17’ told Bachchan, “Don’t sit and explain the rules to me, I know them.” He even tried to answer questions before Bachchan had finished asking, saying things like, “Oh, lock the answer.” However, his upfront attitude couldn’t save him when a question about the Hindu epic ‘Ramayana’ came up. He failed to answer it correctly. Throughout the entire episode, Bachchan kept his cool, even with the child’s rather poor conduct. The boy’s name is Ishit Bhatt, a 10-year-old fifth-grade student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

Social Media Reacts: Parenting Under Fire
After watching the ‘KBC 17’ video, social media users quickly criticized the child’s parents. Many people questioned their parenting style, wondering why the boy behaved that way on national television. One user joked, referring to the situation as the “Jaya Bachchan version.” This was a nod to Bachchan’s wife, Jaya Bachchan, who is well-known for her outspoken nature. Another user suggested, “Amitabh should replace Jaya Bachchan here,” hinting at a need for someone to keep the child in check. A third person commented, saying, “Children should be taught to respect hosts and elders.” These comments show how much the incident upset the audience.
Bachchan’s Subtle Dig
Even Amitabh Bachchan, known for his calm and composed demeanor, made a subtle jab at the boy. After the child gave the wrong answer to the ‘Ramayana’ question, Bachchan quietly remarked, “You are not the only smart one.” He then offered a small smile, which many viewers noted. The child’s face dropped immediately after getting the answer wrong, clearly showing his disappointment. His parents, sitting in the audience, also looked quite disheartened by the turn of events.
