The recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 has captured viewers' attention. Especially in the children's special edition of this program, it's common for young contestants to attract audiences with their intelligence and wit. However, this time, the extreme confidence of a fifth-grade student and his style of conversation with Amitabh Bachchan have sparked intense reactions.
This boy, named Ishit Bhat from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, has had his behavior video go viral on social networks ever since he sat on the hot seat. When Amitabh Bachchan began explaining the game's rules, Ishit interrupted and said in Hindi, "I know the rules, so don't sit there explaining them to me."
During the question-answer session, he insisted on locking his answer even before hearing the options. However, when a tough question related to the Ramayana came up, Ishit waited for the options and said to Amitabh Bachchan, "Hey, put the options," which has become a point of discussion.
After that, when giving his answer, he hurriedly said, "Sir, not one, put four locks on it, but lock it." Unfortunately, the boy left the show without winning any prize money, and this clip has massively gone viral on social media.adidas Men Lace Up Sneaker Shoes
After Ishit failed to answer, Amitabh Bachchan said, "Sometimes children make mistakes due to overconfidence." Reactions to this incident online are mixed. Some have criticized the boy's behavior, opining that respect for elders and good manners are as important as intelligence.Rishab Shetty's 'Kantara: Chapter 1' Nets a Blockbuster Haul at the Box Office...

Regarding the viral video on social media, a user named 'The Skin Doctor' tweeted, "Most satisfying end! It's not about the child, but about the parents. If you can't teach your children humility, patience, and civility, they will grow up as such uncouth overconfident individuals. Not winning even a single rupee will surely haunt them for a long time." This tweet was posted on October 12, 2025.
However, some others have defended him, saying he's just a child and might have been nervous in that situation. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan-hosted ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’ program is also in the news due to its declining TRP ratings.
