Dr Shreesh Sathish Shetty, originally from Ninjoor Moodumane in Karkala taluk, clinched Rs 12.5 lakh on the renowned quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), aired on Sony TV. He successfully answered 12 questions during the episodes that were broadcast on October 10 and 11, 2024.

The question that prompted him to walk away with his winnings was about the Member of Parliament for the Mumbai Northeast Lok Sabha constituency in 1971. The choices given were General K M Cariappa, Vijaya Tendulkar, Pandit Bhimsen Joshi, and Raj Kapoor. Unsure of the correct answer, Dr Shreesh opted to exit the game, securing a prize of Rs 12.5 lakh.
