Singh himself shared the throwback video on social media, expressing astonishment at the uncanny resemblance. He noted how the ad, which depicted a 20-year-old character, was brought to life by Ishit Bhatt, a fifth-grader from Gujarat, in a way that seemed stranger than fiction. The post quickly gained traction, with viewers marveling at the premonition and joking about time travel. Many commented on the ad’s predictive power, with some humorously suggesting it was a warning that went unheeded.

Ishit Bhatt’s appearance on the KBC 17 hot seat became a talking point after his confident demeanor. From the outset, he appeared to know the answers before they were fully presented, often preempting host Amitabh Bachchan by locking in his responses. While his quick wit and knowledge impressed initially, this overconfidence ultimately led to his downfall. After correctly answering several questions, Bhatt lost his winnings on the fifth question, valued at Rs 25,000, when he confidently answered incorrectly a question related to the Ramayana.

Social media users have heavily criticized Ishit, labeling him ‘arrogant’ and the ‘most hated kid.’ In response, Chinmayi Sripaada voiced her support, calling the online mob a ‘horrible bunch of bullies.’ She actively shared posts that aligned with her defense of the child.

On X, formerly Twitter, Sripaada expressed her dismay, stating, ‘An adult putting a tweet saying most hated *kid*. Adults here on Twitter have been one of the most lousy, foul mouthed, abusive lot; none of these voices said a thing when kids died due to a cough syrup. But yeah pick on a kid. Says a LOT about the ecosystem.’ She continued, ‘This entire lot is picking on one over excited kid – what a horrible bunch of bullies these have raised themselves to be.’

During the episode, Ishit, a fifth-grader, audibly interrupted Amitabh Bachchan, stating, ‘I’m familiar with the rules, so don’t explain them to me.’ Displaying considerable self-assurance, he even rushed his answers before the host could present the options, at one point exclaiming, ‘Hey, lock in the answer.’

However, Ishit’s confident streak ended on the fifth question, worth Rs 25,000, concerning the Ramayana. His incorrect answer led to his exit from the hotseat, leaving him with no winnings.

The young contestant’s demeanor on the show sparked discussions about parenting. Many viewers commented on the perceived lack of humility and manners displayed by Ishit, suggesting that parents should instill these values. The outcome of not winning any money was seen by some as a potential lesson for the child and his upbringing.

‘Anupama,’ starring Rupali Ganguly, leads the TRP chart with a 2.4 rating. The show’s reach is estimated at 3.4 million viewers. Last week, the show was at the top with a 2.2 rating and has been popular for many years.

The serial ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Bahu Thi 2,’ starring Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay, had dropped to fourth place in the 35th week. This week, however, with a stable rating of 2.0, the show has made a comeback and secured the second position.

‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’ maintains its position in the top 5 with a 1.9 rating. The show’s success is attributed to the outstanding performances of Rohit Purohit and Samriddhi Shukla and the ongoing storyline.

This week, the show “Tum Se Tum Tak” starring Sharad Kelkar moved up one spot. The show, which began a few months ago, was in fifth place last week, but now with a rating of 1.8, it has climbed up a position. Viewers are also enjoying this show.

The ranking of ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’ has declined this week. The show starring Dilip Joshi is still in the top 5, but after slipping from second place last week, it has reached the fifth position with a rating of 1.8 this week.

‘Bigg Boss 19’ is out of the top 5 but has secured a place in the top 10, reaching 9th position with a rating of 1.4. Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘KBC 17’ has slipped to 31st place with a rating of 0.7.

On the KBC stage, contestant Vijay shared that his father is a daily wage worker and that he wishes to win enough money from KBC to buy a large house for his parents.

Vijay mentioned that last year, after he started working, he took his parents to a nice restaurant for dinner. He told his parents not to look at the rate list and to order whatever they wanted. This statement by Vijay also moved Amitabh Bachchan.

Recalling the moment, Amitabh Bachchan said, “The person you are sitting in front of, also ate in a restaurant for the first time one day.” Big B revealed that when he finished college and started earning a little, he took his parents to the famous Delhi restaurant ‘Moti Mahal’ for the first time.

Recalling the nervousness of that time, Amitabh Bachchan said, “I was very scared. I used to think that this is a big restaurant, only rich people go there. If we go, how will people look at us, what will our clothes be like? All these things run in the mind. So I can understand your situation.”

Amitabh Bachchan also shared a fun anecdote during the episode. He said that his parents accompanied him to Srinagar during the shooting of the film ‘Kabhi Kabhie’. When director Yash Chopra saw them, he asked them to do a scene in the roles of Shashi Kapoor’s parents. Accepting his request, Big B’s parents also did a cameo in his film.

In this episode of KBC, these three women warriors not only shared stories of their valor but also played the quiz game brilliantly and won a sum of ₹25 lakhs. Their journey reached the ₹50 lakh question, but due to the buzzer indicating the end of time, Amitabh Bachchan had to stop the game.

The final question asked to Colonel Sofia Qureshi, Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, and Commander Prerna Deosthali was quite interesting. To answer this question, they had to seek help from the audience. The question was: ‘The ‘Arch of Remembrance’ in Leicester, England, was designed by the same person who designed which of these Indian monuments?’ The options were: A) Victoria Memorial, B) Gateway of India, C) Fort St. George, D) India Gate. The three were confused about the answer and therefore used the audience poll lifeline, and with their help, they gave the correct answer. The correct answer to this question was ‘India Gate’ (Option D).

In fact, the ‘Arch of Remembrance’ located in Leicester, England, was designed by the famous British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, who also designed India’s national monument, ‘India Gate,’ located in Delhi.

Though these women warriors could not cross the ₹50 lakh mark, they created a new history by winning ₹25 lakhs. For the first time in the history of KBC, not one or two but three female officers of the Indian Army sat on the hot seat and interacted with Amitabh Bachchan. During this, they not only narrated stories of their bravery but also spoke openly about women’s empowerment and the role of women in the army. They are going to donate the ₹25 lakhs won in this show to the welfare funds associated with their institutions.
