‘Rude’ KBC Boy Issues ‘Apology’ For Doing ‘Badtameezi’ With Big B

A 10-year-old boy, Ishit Bhatt, has now issued a public apology following the social media criticism. An Instagram account with the handle @ishit_bhatt_official has shared a video of the kid, gently requesting Big B for a picture, and the actor immediately fulfilling his request.

The video was accompanied by a heartfelt note that reads, “Hello everyone, I want to sincerely apologise for my behaviour on Kaun Banega Crorepati. I know many people felt hurt, disappointed, or disrespected by the way I spoke, and I truly regret it."

He added, “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. I’ve learned 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 the message by expressing gratitude to everyone who supported him during this tough phase and wrote, “Thank you to everyone who still supported me and gave me a chance to learn from this mistake— The KBC Boy."

In no time, the comment section was flooded with reactions from several users. While many accepted his apology, some of them still mocked him for his behaviour.

Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, the Amitabh Bachchan-hosted quiz game show, recently grabbed the viewer’s attention after Ishit Bhatt appeared on the hot seat. During his appearance, the fifth grader from Gujarat exhibited curt responses and often interrupted Big B, urging the star to waste no time explaining the rules to him. Soon after the episode went on air, the 10-year-old faced harsh social media criticism, especially for his rude behaviour towards the Megastar and his overconfidence while answering the questions.
