Did you catch the latest Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 Junior special? Because something happened that totally caught everyone off guard, even Amitabh Bachchan! Imagine sitting across from the legendary Big B, and you just casually call him… “Bhoot Uncle.” Yeah, that actually happened!
Purav Bhattacharyya, a super smart junior contestant from Kolkata, West Bengal, didn’t hold back. He secured his spot on the hot seat and then, during a truly unforgettable moment, told Bachchan he looked like a ghost from his film, “Bhootnath.” Bachchan, honestly, seemed a bit nervous interacting with the kids, but this really pushed the envelope!
When a Kid Calls Big B a Ghost
So, Bachchan acknowledged his role in “Bhootnath.” Of course, he did! But he quickly denied being an actual ghost. But honestly? Purav wasn’t buying it. He playfully insisted, and the whole exchange was just priceless. You really had to see it!
But here’s the thing, Purav wasn’t just there for the banter. This kid showed some serious smarts. He impressed Bachchan with his confident gameplay and quick thinking right from the start. He was on fire!

A Close Call and a Big Win
Purav absolutely aced the initial rounds. He even bagged a cool 70,000 points in the “Super Sandook” round and managed to revive his audience poll lifeline. Pretty incredible for a junior, right?
But then came the ₹7,50,000 question. It was about elephants: “Which of these teeth of the elephant elongate and grow into tusks?” Purav went with option C, “Canines,” influenced by the audience poll. But hold on, the correct answer was actually option D, “Incisors.” Talk about a twist!
So, despite that tough miss, Purav didn’t leave empty-handed. Not at all! He took home a fantastic prize of 5 lakh points, which translates to a solid ₹5 lakh. That’s a huge win for any junior!
