The renowned quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’ has become the center of an unusual discussion, sparked by a three-year-old advertisement that eerily predicted a contestant’s recent performance. Ishit Bhatt, a young participant, exited the show after his overconfident demeanor mirrored a scenario envisioned by the ad’s writer, Neeraj Singh, who described the situation as ‘full deja vu’.
Neeraj Singh shared the video on his social media, drawing attention to the uncanny resemblance between his 2019 KBC ad and 10-year-old Ishit Bhatt’s appearance on the hot seat. Singh expressed his astonishment, noting how life was imitating his artistic creation in a peculiar way. The post quickly gained significant attention, with social media users flocking to the comments section. Many found the coincidence amusing, with some playfully questioning if Singh possessed time-traveling abilities, while others felt the ad served as a subtle foresight.
Ishit Bhatt, a fifth-grade student from Gujarat, captivated viewers with his confident approach on KBC 17. He famously told Amitabh Bachchan that he already understood the game’s mechanics and frequently locked in answers before the options were fully displayed. This self-assured strategy saw him through several questions successfully. However, his confidence faltered on the fifth question, which was worth Rs 25,000 and related to the Ramayana. His overconfident, incorrect answer resulted in him losing all the prize money he had accumulated up to that point.
