Kannada KBC gets its first crorepati winner

Kannadada Kotyadhipathi is in its second season on the Star Networks Kannada offering Suvarna TV. The show which is a Kannada version of Kaun Benega Crorepati found its first crorepati winner in Hussain Bhasha from Koppal. Hussain’s winning spree will be telecast on April 25, 28 and 29 and the channel would like to keep under wraps the proceedings that led Husaain to the jackpot. Kannadada Kotyadhipathi runs Monday to Thursday for 90 minutes between 8 and 9.30 PM. The channel has canned 36 of the 80 episodes and has aired 20 so far. 24 year old Hussain’s life seems right out of a Bollywood film. Circumstances forced him to give up his studies after getting a distinction in his SSLC and work first as a cleaner and then as a lorry driver. After accumulating money, this son of a very much in debt father, passed with distinction his First PU and Second PU and has now entered the First Year BA course. This Bhagwat Gita shloka spouting youngster says that his inspiration comes from Shiv Kumar swamiji and India’s ex-President A P J Abdul Kalam, in that order. Hussain plans to use the money that he has won to pay off his family’s debts and for his sisters’ marriages. If he completes his IAS, he plans to take his parents to wherever he is posted.
