10-Year-Old KBC Star Shocks Big B; Old Ad Predicted 'Overconfident' Kid Drama

Ever watched a kid on TV and thought, “Whoa, where did that come from?” Well, get ready, because on October 10, 2025, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17 delivered a moment nobody saw coming. A 10-year-old boy, Ishit Bhatt from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, hit the hot seat. But he didn’t just play the game; he played Amitabh Bachchan!

Ishit, a Class 5 student, became an instant viral sensation. But not for the reasons you’d expect. He interrupted the 83-year-old host, Mr. Bachchan, told him he already knew the rules, and even urged him to “hurry up!” Can you imagine? Social media exploded. People couldn’t believe the “overconfidence,” the “arrogance,” and frankly, the perceived rudeness. You saw it everywhere. Everyone had an opinion, and honestly, many blamed his parenting.

Then things got even weirder. Amitabh Bachchan himself posted an apology on social media, saying, “I apologize to everyone…” People were confused. Was it about Ishit? His birthday? The internet was buzzing trying to figure it out.

But here’s the thing: some experts started weighing in, trying to explain Ishit’s behavior. Chandan entrepreneur and teacher Shekhar Dutt talked about something called “Six-Pocket Syndrome.” What’s that, you ask? It’s a psychological term suggesting that kids can get super spoiled, even entitled, when they’re showered with excessive pampering from two parents and four grandparents. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Look, it’s easy to jump on the bandwagon and criticize. But honestly, experts urged against it. They said publicly shaming a 10-year-old on social media could really hurt his mental health, self-worth, and self-esteem. Bigg Boss fame Rajiv Adatia even defended Ishit, calling him a confident kid and asking everyone to “be kind.” It’s a good reminder.

And get this: the whole situation had a bizarre twist of fate. An old KBC advertisement, written by Neeraj Singh three years ago, eerily mirrored Ishit Bhatt’s confident, almost “YOLO” attitude on the show. Singh himself felt “déjà vu.” Talk about life imitating art, or an ad imitating life!

So, what do you make of it? Was Ishit just a confident kid in a high-pressure situation, or a product of something more? The KBC episode on October 10, 2025, sparked a huge debate, and discussions were still hot on October 16, 2025. It certainly got everyone talking about kids, confidence, and how we raise them.

What’s your take? Should we be quicker to understand rather than judge?
