Ishit Bhatt on Kaun Banega Crorepati: Young Contestant’s Behaviour Sparks Fierce
The appearance of Ishit Bhatt on Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 has sparked a heated discussion across social media platforms. Bhatt became the focus of a heated discussion on social media after his segment with Amitabh Bachchan was aired. Many viewers were quick to express their opinion on Ishit’s behaviour, criticising what they perceived as his overconfidence and disrespectful tone towards the legendary host. This incident raised questions regarding parental guidance and how important humility is.
Ishit’s controversy began as soon as Bhatt took his seat on the show. The audience was captivated by his statement to Mr Bachchan: “Mere rules pata hai i.sliye, aap, mereko abhi samjhane ma baithna” (I already know the rules, so please don’t explain them right now). This confident declaration set the tone of the remainder of the appearance. Many viewers found his aggressive behaviour, which included phrases such as “Arre options daalo” (Come, give me options), to be over the top for a contestant so young.
When he confirmed a question, it was one of his most memorable moments. The audience was divided by his confident declaration, “Sir, not only one lock, but four, do you lock this?” Some viewers found the video entertaining. However, many others deemed Ishit’s behaviour as rude. Many comments questioned the influence of parents in shaping their child’s behaviour.

Two distinct viewpoints have emerged in the debate. Online, a large part of the community was critical of Ishit’s behaviour on Kaun Banega Crorepati. They suggested that his actions showed a lack of respect and humbleness. A smaller group has asked for compassion and reminded the public of his age. They have called for more balance in judgments and emphasised the importance of not being harsh with a child. Ishit’s time on the show was cut short when he misunderstood a question, which forced him to go home without winning any money.
