However, many people on social media criticized his tone, labeling it as disrespectful and rude.Mixed reactions to interruptions and behaviorPeople took to social media to complain that the boy kept interrupting Bachchan and saying cheeky things. Many also wondered if his parents had taught him good manners. Despite this, Amitabh stayed calm and handled the situation nicely, going along with the boy’s energy. The boy answered questions before Bachchan could even read the choices and told him not to explain the rules because he already knew them. He was confident at first but got stuck on the fifth question and asked for help, which made the audience laugh. In the end, he picked the wrong answer and didn’t win anything.Social media expresses divided opinionsReactions on social media were mixed. One person compared the boy to “that annoying kid you see running around at a wedding, you just hope he bumps into something,” expressing similar feelings about the KBC contestant. While many users ridiculed the child and criticized his parents, singer Chinmayi Sripada defended him on X (formerly Twitter). She called out a user for saying they ‘hate’ a child, stating, “An adult tweeting that they ‘hate’ a kid says a lot. Adults here have been foul-mouthed and abusive, but they stayed silent when children died due to cough syrup. Yet they gang up to bully one overexcited kid. What a terrible ecosystem.”Parents held responsible for child’s attitudeAnother individual challenged the role of the parents, stating, “If a child believes interrupting and showing off is a sign of superiority, it’s the parents who should be accountable. This behavior often stems from an inferiority complex in adults that gets passed on.”One comment perfectly captured the discussion: “A perfect case study of what bad parenting can do to a bright kid. New-age parents, don’t pamper your kids too much. In our time, anyone could scold us if we went wrong, and that helped us grow into better people. There’s a lesson to be learned here.”
