The recent appearance of 10-year-old Ishit Bhatt on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) has taken social media by storm, with his bold interaction with host Amitabh Bachchan dividing viewers. In a surprising twist, a three-year-old KBC advertisement, written by Neeraj Singh and featuring actor Gagan Arora, seems to have uncannily predicted the young contestant’s viral moment. The striking parallels between the scripted ad and Ishit’s real-life behavior have left audiences and insiders marveling at the strange coincidence.
In the advertisement, shared recently by Neeraj Singh on Instagram, Amitabh Bachchan is depicted hosting KBC, presenting a question to a young contestant played by Gagan Arora. Before Bachchan can finish listing the options, the contestant interrupts with a confident “yolo” and insists on answering immediately. The ad concludes humorously with Bachchan declaring, “ygjh” (ye galat jawab hai - this is the wrong answer). Neeraj’s caption reflected on the eerie similarity, stating, “Full Deja Vu !! 3 years ago, I wrote this ad for KBC. Today, 10-year-old Ishit Bhatt walks onto the same stage, bringing to life what I had once imagined for a 20-year-old.” Gagan Arora praised Neeraj as a “visionary” for the prescient script.
The real-life moment unfolded in a recent episode aired on October 9, 2025, when Ishit Bhatt mirrored the ad’s scenario. The young contestant repeatedly interrupted Amitabh Bachchan, urging him to “arre lock karo” (just lock it) before the host could fully explain the rules or list question options. Ishit’s overconfidence ultimately led to an incorrect answer, resulting in him leaving the show empty-handed. The episode sparked polarized reactions online, with some viewers criticizing Ishit for perceived rudeness, while others defended him as a spirited child caught in the intensity of the moment.

Neeraj Singh’s Instagram post highlighted broader societal implications, noting, “Parenting is going to be the biggest challenge of our society in coming years.” The viral incident, coupled with the prophetic advertisement, has fueled discussions about child behavior, confidence, and the pressures of high-stakes environments like KBC. As the show continues to captivate audiences, this uncanny connection between fiction and reality underscores the unpredictable nature of life in the spotlight.
