Minikube 32 bit installation issue in ubuntu 18

I am unable to install 32 bit minikube on ubuntu 18.04. Now just need a solution can I somehow install 32 minikube insde my GUEST so that i can run it. Because right now I can't dual boot my HOST. Although dual booting will ultimately solve my problem I know. Can i enable GUEST virtualization by tweaking settings of HOST virtualbox.

Senario

HOST [windows 7 64-bit]
GUEST [ ubuntu 18.04 64-bit]

Steps followed

1. Installed 64 bit virtual box inside my HOST. 
2. Installed GUEST in Virtual box ( in HOST as a vm ).
3. Installed Virutal box inside my GUEST (virtual box only shows 32-bit os due to inside vm nested virtualization not supported AFAIK ). 
4. installed kubectl in GUEST.
5. Downloaded minikube for GUEST  (but downloaded 64-bit minikube [LINK](https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/latest/minikube-linux-amd64) 
 because did not found 32 bit image. I do know it will not work because it is 64-bit which will not work on 32-bit architecture in my case).

start minikube

below are logs after running above command in GUEST
