Talking about his Bigg Boss stint in Season 12, Karibasappa initially looked like a strong contender who would last long. However, his habit of talking unnecessarily and poking his nose into others' business became a problem. He also failed to speak up when it mattered, which led to his elimination within just a couple of weeks.

Karibasappa recently appeared as a 'kwatle' (troublemaker) on Colors Kannada's 'Kwatle Kitchen Season 2'. He would show up every week to playfully bother the contestants. But he never actually ruined their dishes; in fact, he often helped them out. He definitely survived longer and was more popular on Kwatle Kitchen than in the Bigg Boss house.
