Kid during KBC 17 tells Amitabh Bachchan: 'Don't talk, ask next question'. Clip goes viral

Send Push
A recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 turned into a viral sensation after a young contestant’s behavior toward Amitabh Bachchan drew mixed reactions online. The special children’s edition, known for its charm and innocence, took an unusual turn when fifth-grader Ishit Bhatt from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, appeared overly assertive and dismissive during his interaction with the veteran host. The child, who left the show empty-handed, quickly became the center of heated discussions on social media.

Confidence or Arrogance? The Moments That Stood Out

From the very beginning of the episode, Ishit’s tone caught everyone’s attention. As Amitabh Bachchan started explaining the rules, the boy interrupted, confidently asserting that he already knew them and didn’t need further explanation. Throughout the quiz, his impatience and eagerness to answer were evident. In one instance, when asked about the first meal of the day, he hastily requested to lock “breakfast” as his answer without listening to all the given options.

The tension grew during a question related to the Ramayana, where Ishit suddenly shifted from overconfidence to frustration. Urging the host to show the options quickly, he exclaimed in Hindi for Big B to “put all four locks” on his answer once he decided. His tone, though playful to some, appeared disrespectful to others watching the episode.

A Lesson in Humility and Patience

When the young contestant failed to answer a question correctly, Amitabh Bachchan gently remarked that sometimes, children make mistakes due to overconfidence. However, Ishit continued to interject, even urging the host to “just ask the questions” instead of speaking further.

“Sir, aap sawal to pucho!” (Sir, don’t talk ask questions) he told Big B.

Eventually, his overzealous attitude cost him not just the prize money but also public sympathy.

Social Media Reacts: A Teachable Moment for Parents

Once the clip surfaced online, it garnered over two million views within hours. Viewers flooded X (formerly Twitter) with comments emphasizing the importance of humility and manners. Many felt that while the child’s confidence was commendable, his parents had failed to instill patience and respect. As one user remarked, the experience of leaving the show without any winnings might become a lasting lesson—not just for Ishit, but for those who overlook the value of modesty.
