20 Aug
Summary
- Vinay Gowda intentionally gave an unconventional answer about a circle.
- His 'two sides' response to a circle's sides went viral on social media.
- The actor humorously embraced the widespread discussion his answer caused.

Kannada actor Vinay Gowda addressed recent online criticism concerning his "two sides of a circle" remark. The incident occurred during the pre-launch show for Bigg Boss Kannada 13, titled Agnipariksha. While questioning a contestant, Gowda posed a query about the number of sides a circle possesses.
Contrary to the contestant's response and standard geometry, Gowda asserted that a circle has two sides, distinguishing between its interior and exterior. This response quickly gained traction on social media platforms, generating a flurry of discussions and humorous commentary.
In a subsequent Instagram Story, Gowda clarified that his answer was a deliberate, unconventional interpretation focusing on the inside versus outside distinction. He acknowledged knowing the geometric fact that a circle has zero sides. The actor appeared to enjoy the unexpected attention, jokingly referring to it as a "nationwide geometry class."
Gowda humorously concluded that the "boring question" might have prompted his unconventional answer. He summarized the situation by contrasting the mathematical zero sides with his two-sided interpretation and the subsequent millions of online opinions. The actor ended his response with a lighthearted sign-off, further contributing to the viral nature of the event.
