Amitabh Bachchan's Heartwarming Response Wins Over Fans After Contestant's Outburst

In October 2025, the popular quiz-based show Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 has been captivating audiences with its entertaining and informative episodes. One contestant, Ishit Bhatt, a fifth-standard student from Gandhinagar, Gujarat, has recently made headlines for his unusual interaction with host Amitabh Bachchan.

Clips of Ishit appearing to be rude towards Bachchan began circulating on social media, drawing criticism from many viewers. However, a new clip from the same episode has now surfaced, revealing a different and more heartwarming side to the story.

In the new footage, Ishit is seen telling Bachchan, "Your birthday is coming up," to which the veteran actor replies, "Yes, that's right." Ishit then says, "So, I'll have to leave from here. I won't be able to take a photo with you." Amitabh Bachchan responds with a smile, reassuring Ishit, "No, we will definitely take a photo with you today."

It turns out that Ishit had been told he could only take a picture with Bachchan after crossing the ₹12.5 lakh mark on the show. Hearing this, the host gently reassures the young contestant, saying, "No, there's no such rule. Don't worry, come, let's take a photo first."

This heartwarming interaction has led many social media users to defend Ishit, with comments like "He's just a kid," and appreciating Bachchan's calm and affectionate response.
