KBC 17 Juniors Clip Triggers Online Row Over Contestant’s Tone as Bachchan Earns Praise

The clip refocuses attention on parenting norms as well as the ethics of targeting minors online.

Overview

  • Fifth grader Ishit Bhatt from Gandhinagar told Amitabh Bachchan he already knew the rules, repeatedly answered before options and urged the host to “lock” his choices.
  • He stumbled on a Rs 25,000 Valmiki Ramayana question, with Bala Kanda as the correct answer, and left the episode without any prize money.
  • Bachchan handled the exchange calmly and said, “Kabhi kabhi bachhe overconfidence mein galti kar dete hai,” drawing widespread approval for his composure.
  • The viral clip drew sharp criticism of the boy and his parents from many X users, helping drive extensive online circulation of the video.
  • Others urged restraint toward a minor, with singer Chinmayi Sripaada publicly calling out users for trolling the child.
