KBC 17 Contestant Ishit Bhatt Sparks Online Outrage for Disrespecting Amitabh Bachchan on Show

A recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 made headlines after young contestant Ishit Bhatt upset viewers with his rude behavior toward host Amitabh Bachchan. Ishit, who is from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, appeared overconfident and dismissive during the game, which left both the host and audience surprised. His attitude has earned him the title of “the most hated kid on the Internet” on social media.

During the show, Ishit interrupted Amitabh Bachchan several times. At one point, he said, “Mere ko rules pata hai, isliye aap mereko abhi rules samjhane mat baithna” (I already know the rules, so please don’t explain them to me). He also questioned the worth of the questions and kept urging the host to hurry up, saying things like “Arre option daalo!” and “Sir, ek kya, uss mein chaar lock lagado”. Many viewers felt his remarks were disrespectful and arrogant.

Ishit’s behavior on the show led to widespread criticism online. Fans expressed disappointment, saying that overconfidence cost him both respect and potential winnings. During the quiz, he answered incorrectly to the question, “What is the name of the first Kanda (section/book) of the Valmiki Ramayana?” He chose Ayodhya Kanda, but the correct answer was Bala Kanda. As a result, he lost his ₹25,000 prize and left the show empty-handed.

Many social media users supported Amitabh Bachchan for handling the situation with patience and composure. They praised him for remaining calm despite the contestant’s rude remarks. A few people tried to defend Ishit, suggesting that his behavior might have been due to nervousness or excitement, since appearing on national television can be overwhelming for young participants.
