Year after year, Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) has remained a favourite among audiences. Much of the show’s charm comes from Amitabh Bachchan’s engaging hosting style. Apart from that, some contestants also manage to grab attention with their quirks. In a recent episode of the special segment KBC Juniors, a contestant sparked quite an online debate.
Ishit Bhatt, a class 5 student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, took over the hot seat recently. His behaviour on the show caused his clips to go viral online. He was seen confidently answering questions and insisting that he didn’t need options for them. Many on the internet described the boy’s attitude as rude and disrespectful.
