KBC 17: Ishit Bhatt regrets rude behaviour towards Amitabh Bachchan, issues apology and says ‘I got very…’
The 10-year-old Ishit Bhatt has been making headlines for the past few days. His appearance on KBC 17 did not sit well with the audience, and he was soon labeled as an ‘arrogant child’ for his rude behavior towards host Amitabh Bachchan. The fifth grader’s abrupt tone and constant interruptions while interacting with Bachchan quickly went viral, triggering a wave of online criticism. Following this, he suffered massive backlash, and netizens also raised questions about parenting. Now, a week later, a video shared by an Instagram account named @ishit_bhatt_official featured the young contestant extending a heartfelt apology.
The clip captured Ishit asking for a photo with Amitabh Bachchan, who graciously agreed. Along with the video, Ishit posted a note apologizing for his behavior.
“Hello everyone, I want to sincerely apologise for my behaviour on Kaun Banega Crorepati. I know many people felt hurt or disappointed by the way I spoke, and I truly regret it. At that moment, I got nervous, and my attitude came out completely wrong. It wasn’t my intention to be rude — I respect Amitabh Bachchan, sir, and the entire KBC team deeply,” the post read.

Adding more, he wrote that his experience at KBC taught him some important life lessons and emphasized humility and self-awareness. The post read, “I’ve learnt a big lesson about how words and actions reflect who we are, especially on such a big platform. I promise to be more humble, respectful, and thoughtful in the future.”
He concluded by expressing gratitude to everyone who stood by him amid the criticism, signing off his message as “The KBC Boy.”
However, his apology drew mixed comments. The internet was divided, with some people understanding the kid’s emotions, while others still mocked him for his behaviour.
“He is a kid, he made a mistake, realised it, and apologised. Please don’t become the reason for someone’s childhood trauma,” one comment read. Another added, “Arehh, sir lock karoo naa,” taunting him for his remarks.
