Chinmayi Sripaada Stands Up for KBC Contestant Ishit Bhatt Amid Trolls

Chinmayi Sripaada Takes a Stand Against Online Bullying

In a recent episode of Junior Kaun Banega Crorepati, contestant Ishit Bhatt became the target of online trolls due to his behavior during the show. Playback singer Chinmayi Sripaada stepped up to defend him and criticize the hateful comments circulating on social media.

Chinmayi’s Reaction to the Trolling

On Monday, Chinmayi responded to a post on X showing Ishit with the caption “most hated kid on the internet.” She condemned the bullying, stating, “An adult putting out a tweet calling a kid the most hated is appalling. This says a lot about the adults engaging in this behavior.” Chinmayi emphasized that focusing on a child’s excitement, rather than more serious issues, showcases a disturbing trend in online interactions.

Why Was Ishit Targeted?

During the episode, Ishit directly told Amitabh Bachchan not to explain the rules, claiming he already understood them. He continued to respond to questions without waiting for assistance and interjected during the discussion. Despite his enthusiasm, he left the show without any winnings, intensifying the backlash against him. Many deemed the trolling excessive, especially given he is just a child on a family program.
