KBC 17's 10-Year-Old Signs Condom Deal? Fact-Check Reveals Viral "Think Twice" Post Is Fake

So you might have seen that wild post doing the rounds. The one claiming that 10-year-old Ishit Bhatt, the kid from Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, signed a massive deal with a condom brand. Yeah, you read that right.

The viral story got super specific. It claimed the campaign was called “Think Twice” and was meant to encourage people to “think twice before becoming parents.” The post spread like wildfire. But honestly? It’s completely fake.

What Really Happened on Social Media

Here’s the thing. The whole story came from an Instagram page called “Indian Meme Boy.” They cooked up the post, and it took off because so many people were already talking about Ishit’s behavior on the show. But the page itself put a disclaimer right on the post.

It literally said the claim was “satire, just for fun purpose.” News outlets like LatestLY quickly jumped in and published fact-checks, confirming the entire story was a joke. So no, a fifth-grader from Gandhinagar did not sign a condom deal.

Why Everyone Was Talking About This Kid

So why did this fake story get so much attention? It’s because Ishit Bhatt had already gone viral after his KBC episode aired around October 15, 2025. People on social media had a lot to say about his on-air behavior.

Many viewers felt he was “rude” and “overconfident,” especially in how he spoke to the host, Amitabh Bachchan. He even interrupted Big B to say he already knew the rules. This sparked a huge debate about modern parenting and something called the “six-pocket syndrome.”

The satirical post just tapped into that existing online drama. It was a joke aimed at the controversy that was already brewing. But a lot of people missed that part.

So, next time you see a claim that sounds too crazy to be true, it probably is. What do you think about meme pages creating satire like this? Does it go too far?
