A 10-year-old Indian boy’s confident TV appearance sparked national debate over parenting and social media shaming.

A 10-year-old Indian boy, Ishit Bhatt, sparked a national debate after appearing on Kaun Banega Crorepati, where his confident demeanor drew widespread online criticism, with some calling him arrogant. The backlash intensified discussions about parenting, particularly the "six-pocket syndrome," a term describing children overindulged by multiple caregivers, potentially leading to entitlement and poor emotional regulation. Experts warn such overindulgence can hinder resilience and empathy, urging a balance between support and boundaries. The incident has prompted reflection on societal expectations, public shaming, and the impact of social media scrutiny on children.
