In a recent episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, young contestant Ishit Bhatt's behavior towards host Amitabh Bachchan have sparked much controversy. The fifth-grader from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, showed a level of overconfidence that many viewers found disrespectful. At one point, Bhatt said to Bachchan, "Mere ko rules samjhane mat baithna," meaning they already knew the rules and didn't needed any explanation. Their interruptions and dismissive remarks, like "Arre option daalo!" and "Yeh koi sawaal hai puchne ka?" made the backlash grow more. Even with such confidence, Bhatt answered a question wrong and lost the winnings, which many saw as result of overconfidence.

The incident gone viral very quickly, with netizens calling them "the most hated kid on the Internet." But some defended Bhatt, saying the behavior maybe because of nervousness or excitement. Notably, singer Chinmayi Sripaada criticized the online backlash, calling the trolls a "horrible bunch of bullies" for targeting a young child. She said it is important to show compassion and understanding, specially with children in high-pressure situations.

This episode started a bigger conversation about expectations on young contestants in reality shows and the importance of teaching respect and humility. While confidence is good, it also important to teach values of respect and gratitude, specially when talking with esteemed figures like Amitabh Bachchan.

As the debate continues, it remind us how social media influence is strong and the responsibility comes with it. Public figures and young contestants must walk the fine line between confidence and humility, knowing that their actions can have far-reaching effect.
